Good

6.6

out of 10

The good: Simple operation; face-recognition autofocus; excellent red-eye prevention; time-lapse capabilities.

The bad: Few manual controls; limited shutter-speed range; movie clips at only 15fps.

The bottom line: The Nikon Coolpix S4 resurrects the company's classic swivel-lens design with modern touches, including lots of scene modes and in-camera fixes for common problems. Image quality and performance seem a bit old-fashioned, however.

Take unusual shot with the swivel screen

May 15, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Big screen, long zoom, swivel screen and many functions
Cons: Bit slow on focusing when doing closeup
Opinion:
Long zoom and big screen on a compact size. Easy to take low shots with pets and plants without having lie on the floor. Take overhead shots without having to take all the heads in a crowd. Big screen allows you to stretch out for a closer shot from above the crowd.
