Nikon Coolpix S2 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.00 (out of 10)
Introduced only months after the S1, the Nikon Coolpix S2 is the continuation of a line of digital cameras that Nikon has deemed its "Style" line. The sleek aesthetic and slim profile is something we haven't seen from Nikon until now. This 5 megapixel model includes flashy features such as a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.5-inch LCD screen, 15 scene modes, and Nikon's in-camera palette of technology: red-eye fix, face priority AF, and D-lighting compensation.

| Given my grumbles you'd be forgiven for thinking I don't like this camera, not so. It's a gem, if a little flawed around the edges. Anyone making standard sized prints from its images will be more than happy with its results and it is so nice to look at you'll be hard pressed not to flaunt it wherever you go, just be careful you don't wear it out by over-polishing that shiny face plate. |

| Tiny size, acceptable but not outstanding image quality, and a lack of manual controls make the ultracompact Nikon Coolpix S2 a fine choice for snapshot photographers who want a good selection of fun features but don't want to make many decisions on their own. This Nikon's strong points are abundant scene modes, a 3X zoom lens that doesn't protrude during use, a postshot fix that automatically brightens dark backgrounds, and a clever Face Priority focus mode that ensures that the closest person to the camera will come out sharp and clear. But given the Coolpix S2's limited shutter-speed range of 2 seconds to 1/350 second, you won't be using it for long exposures or very fast action. |
