Product Rating: 3 star(s) Nikon Coolpix S10 Review

Comments:
The Nikon Coolpix S10 is a return to the past in terms of design, with the retro twisting body being first seen on Coolpix models like the 900 and 950. Nikon have brought that design bang up to date with a 10x optical zoom lens (38-380mm), large 2.5 inch

Review Verdict: It looks like a blast from the past, and sure enough the Nikon Coolpix S10 struggles to match the performance of similarly priced compacts today. It's not awful but it's far from great, and, in the final analysis if I'd spent £300 on the Niko...

Here is another compact ultra-zoom designed to appeal consumers by packing a 10X stabilized optical zoom lens into a compact body. While the Nikon Coolpix S10 manages to do so, it does it with very poor ergonomics which make using it rather frustrating.

Let's twist again with Nikon's 10x zoom digital 'compact'

Review Verdict: This twist-and-turn retro beast has a certain charm, but although the S10 certainly stands out, the images it takes are below par given the outlay and Nikon's usually sterling reputation. To sum up: a brave throwback, but not altogether successful.

Comments:
While all the other cameras we've tested recently follow the usual design convention of sticking the lens on the front of the camera, our review of the Nikon Coolpix S10 shows that Nikon has adopted a different approach.

Review Verdict: With its unique, stylish design, the Nikon Coolpix S10 certainly stands out from the crowd. More importantly, it's a capable camera, even though its megapixel rating looks a little paltry. You get a vast optical zoom and antishake technology, too.

The Coolpix S10 ($400) is the latest swivel-body digital camera from Nikon. It's the followup to the lackluster (in my opinion) Coolpix S4, which wasn't nearly as impressive as the original Coolpix 900-series cameras that came before it.
