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 L10

Advantages: Easy to use, most pictures come out good, value for money, look, durability, size and weight.
Disadvantages: Some pictures come out blurred.

...My first digital camera is this, the Nikon Coolpix L10. PICTURE QUALITY Some pictures come out good, and some come out blurry. I find 72% of my pictures come out non-blurry. RANGE & QUALITY OF FEATURES You can change the colour, the white balance, if there should be a continous shot, you can also change the flash. I find the amount of features great. EASE OF USE I find this camera very easy to set up, very easy to take a photo with and it's easy all round. DURABILITY The camera doesn't get scratched easily, it can get a tiny bit smugy but that's it. No major damage for mine! OVERALL LOOK & DESIGN The camera looks so standard but it shows off its shiny silverness when you put it next to other cameras. VALUE FOR MONEY You can buy this from Amazon for £104.75. I think this is great value for money! RELIABILITY I can mainly...

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...

Nikon Coolpix 80

Advantages: Top of the range for quality and usage
Disadvantages: Cost if anything

...My partner and I own the previous Nikon and are currently looking at upgrading to the Nikon Coolpix 80. The price is very reasonable we think as the quality of Nikons are second to none. We even managed a discount when we first purchased ours from Jessops in Derby due to my partner being a student photographer. We have had only a few problems with our existing Nikon which is why we are likely to purchase the new Coolpix 80. The customer service at Nikon have been extremely helpful with advice on technical issues and user problems, they have even sent us a news lens cap when we lost ours during a weekend away. Although we use ours predominately for the family, my partner is now a professional photographer and he will use nothing but Nikon. The cameras are exceptionally easy to use and very friendly to none users like myself and our...

Review of Nikon Coolpix P80

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...

Cool Camera - Nikon Coolpix 7900

Advantages: Stylish, Superb Quality, Extensive features Great Value for Money
Disadvantages: My dad dropped mine! (but it's ok!)

...: Width: 8.8 cm Depth: 3.7 cm Height: 6 cm Weight: 0.2 kg Body Material: Aluminium Even the camera case is rather stylish :-) **Picture Quality** With 7.1 mega pixels, the Nikon Coolpix 7900 delivers top quality pictures. They are very detailed and realistic and help you to capture moments of your life in stunning detail. The 4x digital zoom allows you to take good zoom shots, which also come out in superb detail. Many digital cameras often have poorer quality when using the zoom feature but the Nikon Coolpix 7900 does not! Also, the Auto-Focus and Auto-Flash features ensure that all pictures are in focus and well-lit. At first, I thought that the picture quality was pretty poor. Browsing through the pictures on my camera on the small screen I was horrified by the images I was seeing. However, once I put them onto my computer...

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...

The Nikon Coolpix L14 Realy Is Cool

Advantages: 7.1 Megapixels, 3x Zoom NIKKOR Lens & Excellent Battery Life
Disadvantages: None

...The Nikon Coolpix L14 has an incredible 7.1 megapixels. These pixels are put to fine use when capturing your images in true colour and very fine detail. Then you can easily crop and produce enlagerged images. The camera has a 3x zoom NIKKOR lens which covers a range of 38-114mm, equivalent to 35mm. The Nikon Coolpix L14 has a excellent battery life running on lithium AA Energizer batteries. This simply mean you dont need to worry about recharging and running out of power. The camera is so energy effecient Nikon state that it can take 1,000 images running on pair of the lithium AA Energizer batteries. The controls on the Coolpix L14 are very user friendly and are located on the top f the camera which makes it easy to switch between playback and shooting.

Review of Nikon Coolpix L14

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 S200

Good photos at a price - don't spend too much on the Coolpix 4300

Advantages: great lens = good image quality, now extremely cheap
Disadvantages: now quite old, poor design, out of date features, slow startup, battery flap weak point, bulky

...eye can only process 8MP (at normal print size). So, unless you plan to significantly enlarge your images, you can live without 10 or 12 MP. In fact, too many megapixels squashed onto a small sensor can actually decrease image quality. Do not underestimate a good piece of glass, Nikon are a lens company above all else, so they can be trusted to produce excellent lenses. The lens contributes as much, if not more, to image quality than the MP number (above a threshold). The Coolpix 4300 exposes images well and actually takes surprisingly good quality images. To illustrate this, please take a look at the totally unedited pictures I have uploaded that were taken on my holiday to Thailand. I have included further analysis in the descriptions, and the Ciao XXL view will give you a better idea of the resolution. I have not mentioned digital zoom...
