A super cool review of the Nikon Coolpix

Advantages: Looks good, durable and a good range of user interactive settings.
Disadvantages: Not the most vivid of colour capture and a few other problems (see review).

...As a professional photographer who is used to using top of the range DSLR cameras, I often worry that I will be a little harsh on simple point and shoot cameras when asked to give my opinion on them. Last week when I was asked to test the Nikon Coolpix S560 and give my opinion on it for my camera club, I was determined to do so with an open mind because as well as thinking I can be harsh on point and shoots, I am also not Nikon`s biggest fan. The Nikon Coolpix S560 is the latest in a range of Nikon point and shoot digital cameras and a direct step up from the Coolpix S550. In my opinion this was released a bit quickly after the S550 and it makes me wonder if Nikon were ever truly happy with the 550 that they felt the need to release its successor within just a few months of it being released itself. In the camera market however...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S560

NIKON Coolpix S510

Advantages: Small and has a great flash range
Disadvantages: Noise when I changed the ISO

...I was given the Nikon Coolpix S510 in pink from my boyfriend. He paid £ 163.19 from pixmania. As soon as I saw the camera I fell in love with it, I have a few cameras at home, and this one is probley my favourite because the other cameras are a bit of a struggle to take anywhere as there quiet chunky and heavy, with this camera there isn't a problem as its small. I love the fact that the camera has a rotating navigation pad and a vertical lens cover. I think the camera is really good but I wouldn't give it an excellent rating as it could be improved, I was messing around with the and I changed it to ISO2000 and the picture was horrific however setting ISO to The ISO64 made the photos look great and you could see masses of detail which I was pretty impressed with. Here's the cameras Specifications Sensor: CCD - 8.1Mp...

Nikon Coolpix S1

Advantages: Small, compact and very easy to use!
Disadvantages: Old, not as good as more recent cameras.

...Nikon Coolpix S1. I bought this camera from Curries via their website for £169 back in 2006, so it is relatively old now, and in terms of the advance in cameras, is almost an antique! You can now pick one up for a lot cheaper, around £65, but I think they're being slowly phased out, so if you want one, get it quick. When I first bought it, 5.1 Megapixels was considered relatively high, whereas now, anything towards 9.1 or 10.1 megapixels is becoming the new bench level. However, unless you are a really keen photographer, you won't really notice too much difference. What attracted me to this camera was it's looks. It is a lovely little camera, and in black it looks stylish and sleek, whilst also being very compact; there's no extruding lens or other parts sticking out, so the camera is very flat which is extremely helpful as it can...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S1

Its snappy

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none so far

...My daughter has been looking for a new digital camera for a while now and has been hinting lots of times that she would like one for her birthday, so being a pushover mum that I am I bought her one for her surprise birthday present. The camera I bought is a Nikon Coolpix S3000 so having bought it I had to test it before wrapping it up and this is my thoughts on it. The first thing i liked about this digital camera was the choice of colours, in my opinion its always good to have a choice and for a birthday present for a young woman oftwenty one this is both stylish and trend, the colours are bright and it comes in eight different colours. :- Champagne Silver Blue Orange Black Magenta Red Purple This is great as there is a colour to suit everyone's taste, my daughter loves the red one as it is a deep rich colour. A couple...

Nikon Coolpix S200

Advantages: Functions well in daylight; looks good and is fairly compact
Disadvantages: Picture quality is middle-of-the-road; is awful in low light

...The Nikon Coolpix is a good-looking camera; that is not to be doubted. I was initially very pleased with it, but have since been a little underwhelmed. Although I think Nikon are a very good company who on the whole turn out some excellent products, I am unconvinced that the S200 is one of their best pieces of work. My main gripes are twofold. Firstly, I do not think that the picture quality is anything better than average, and there are certainly better options out on the market elsewhere - I believe Olympus cameras to be very strong in this regard. Secondly, despite the emphasis on its high ISO settings in the marketing for the product, I have been unimpressed by the camera's ability to take photographs in anything much less than broad daylight. The only way that a photo with remotely decent resolution can be taken is...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S200

take coolpix with this nikon camera.

Advantages: small, light, robust and very easy to use.
Disadvantages: _

...I love taking photos but I am the first to admit that I am not very good at it. Most of the pics I take are just holiday snaps or pics of the family but I tend to have my fair share of blurry photos and heads cut off, although not so much now. I recently bought the Nikon Coolpix S200 as my old camera had become very aged. This camera is so easy to use it has helped me take a better class of photo straight away. It has a fairly full range of features which will no doubt take me a long time to learn to use but if you already know your way round a camera will be very useful to you. The camera is a 7.1 mega pixel which I wont try to explain but will tell you that even when zoomed in on your pc or printed in a much larger size will still provide very clear images. It also has electronic Vibration Reduction which helps you to get photos...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S550

A Cool and Quick Coolpix.

Advantages: Loads of options, quick, easy, light, sleek.
Disadvantages: Battery life, no viewfinder.

...The reason I bought this camera because I already have a Nikon D50 (Digital SLR) and so trust Nikon already but I needed something to keep in my pocket all the time. Plus you don't look so much like a tourist in busy areas! Basic things that I found really useful: - Easy to turn on. - Rechargable Lithium battery. - Loads of different modes to choose from. - Panoramic Assist - 16 shot continuous. - Easy to see screen - Great feel in your hands - Has SD memory card, widely available (already had them for the SLR) - Can choose colour options - Does video - Black and White, Sepia, Vivid. I can honestly say that by getting this camera I have taken alot of pictures that I wouldn't have got with my SLR. The SLR is great but obviously cannot do film, the colour options aren't as good and its a pain to carry around...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S9

Coolpix.........Cool price........cool compact camera

Advantages: robust stylish easy to use
Disadvantages: a tiny moan about the red eye reduction function

...a camera, I spent alot of time on the internet trying to decide which camera to buy, as the worse thing to do I find is go shopping for something but have no clue which type of something to buy. I had had my A80 for a few years and there were still programmes on it that I had never used and I was still unsure what half of the programmes could do, so one thing I was sure of was that I did not want an over complicated camera this time, another deciding factor was the cost, that was out of my control as I only had limited funds to actually spend on a new camera. The Coolpix L22 was on my short list of 3 camera's, the other two were the Canon Powershot A480 and a Sony Cyber Shot S2000. Those 3 seemed to be the best value for money and were all more than capable of taking what I call family snaps, nothing fancy, just pictures of the family...

Review of Nikon Coolpix L22

Nikon Coolpix 3100

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent picture quality, clear bright LCD, preset photo modes, picture enhancing options.
Disadvantages: Small memory card, short battery life, no case supplied.

...Nikon Coolpix 3100 I would class myself as an enthusiastic amateur photographer and having researched the digital camera market for three months I eventually decided on the Nikon Coolpix 3100. I was not disappointed. This light weight 3.2 million pixel camera is easy to use and has excellent results. General The camera has a maximum picture resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and this produces clear and detailed pictures which are photo quality up to about A4 printed size. Memory Card It uses CompactFlash memory cards and is supplied with a 16MB card which is adequate to begin with but I would recommend getting a much bigger card once you have got the hang of the camera as you can only fit 10 images in maximum quality on the card. They are around £30 for a 128MB one if you shop online. Connection It uses a USB...
