Nikon Coolpix S200 Digital Camera Full Review

Comments:
The Nikon Coolpix S200 is currently the smallest, lightest, and thinnest digital camera in Nikon's product catalog.

Review Verdict: I recently spent a month using Canon's new SD1000 Digital Elph and while the tiny S200 doesn't match the SD1000 in creative flexibility or manual exposure options - it is only half as thick - and it does (in my opinion) compete on equal terms with the SD1

Comments:
For point-and-shoot cameras, size can mean almost everything. If a camera is just half an ounce too heavy or half an inch too thick, it'll be too uncomfortable to carry around. Smaller doesn't automatically mean better, however. The 7-megapixel Nikon Cool

Can this ultra-slim Nikon compete with Casio, Pentax and Olympus?

Review Verdict: Despite the prestigious Nikon badge, the S200 is a pretty run-of-the-mill ultra-compact, with little to distinguish it from several competing models. It is very slim and light, build quality is well up to the usual Nikon standard, and the camera handles w

Comments:
- The S200 impresses straight out of the box, it has a tough all-aluminium build and large screen that help make the new, slim line camera very nice to hold and to look at. Pleasing on the eye, it may be, but it also has some of Nikon's signature features

Nikon Coolpix S200 Digital Camera - Review - The Imaging Resource!

Comments:
One of the tiniest Nikon Coolpix cameras to date, the 7.1 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S200 is a small but stylish point-and-shoot camera. Equipped with a telescoping 3x optical zoom lens, the Nikon S200 offers a moderate 35mm-equivalent focal range of 38-114m

Comments:
The Nikon Coolpix S200 is a pocket sized camera with a simple design. It is one of the more easy to use cameras. In terms of features it has a fairly standard set up with seven megapixels and a three times optical zoom lens.

Review Verdict: The Nikon Coolpix S200 left me feeling disappointed. It looks good, feels good and is easy to use, but I struggled with picture quality. I would suggest having a good look at other pocket sized digital cameras before buying this one.

Comments:
Next up is a slim, 7.1MP Coolpix with 3x zoom, 2.5-inch screen and what Nikon somewhat vaguely refers to as electronic VR (image stabilization using digital signal processing). This is the only 'VR' camera in new range that doesn't use lens or CCD shift.

Comments:
Nikon its world-famous for its high-end, professional cameras, but its always struggled to break into the consumer market where rival brands have a much stronger following.

Review Verdict: Nikon's first attempt at a consumer compact is good. It has produced a good looking, good quality, good value camera. But with some strong competition, good is simply not good enough.
