Nikon Coolpix S8
A smart-looking, solidly-built, slimline digicam for snapshooters and travellers.Only 20mm thick at its widest point, Nikon’s 7.1-megapixel Coolpix S8 is almost shirt-pocketable and very smartly designed. Its metal body has a semi-matte finish with a gentle curve on one side to accommodate your fingers when you’re shooting. The 3x optical zoom lens tucks inot the top corner of the camera body behind a metal cover so you must guard against including the fingertips of your left hand in shots. A 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD covers two thirds of the rear panel, leaving little room for the button controls, most of which are tiny! But no viewfinder is provided.

Nikon Coolpix S510
An affordable, well-built, pocketable digicam that offers a useful set of features for snapshooters.Nikon’s Coolpix S510 features an 8.1-megapixel CCD image sensor and 3x optical zoom lens plus a 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating. Targeted at point-and-shoot photographers this model supports Nikon’s Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and D-Lighting functions. It’s one of the first digicams to use a similar EXPEED image processor to Nikon’s latest DSLR cameras, which claims fast response times and lower noise at high sensitivity settings.
Nikon Coolpix S700
A high-resolution, slimline digicam with features and performance that will suit snapshooters.Nikon’s Coolpix S700 has many of the same features as the Coolpix S510 model – including the EXPEED image processor – but sports a higher-resolution (12.1 megapixels effective) image sensor and larger LCD monitor. Its zoom lens covers a marginally longer focal length range (equivalent to 37-111mm in 35mm format) and supports closer focusing than the S510. Designed primarily for snapshooters, it’s available in ‘Titanium Silver’ and ‘Urban Black’.

Nikon Coolpix S4
“Twist-and-shoot” convenience, above-average picture quality and use of AA batteries make this long-zoom lens camera a good choice for travellers.Nikon has returned to ‘twist-and-shoot’ styling for its 6-megapixel Coolpix S4 camera, which is the first ‘slimline’ model with a long zoom lens. With a maximum aperture of f/3.5, the 38-380mm (equivalent) lens is relatively fast and it’s partnered with a 2.5-inch LCD monitor to allow easy shot composition. The lens isn’t stabilised, although electronic vibration reduction is available in Movie mode. No viewfinder is provided.
