S4 Is a Good Pick

I have used the S4 under varying degrees of light and weather. The rotatable shot chamber permits you to shoot overhead while still being able to frame the subject. The versatility of the twistable tube limits the ability to take the shot to the user's

Nikon Coolpix S4 camera
Comments:
The S4 is an interesting camera, but its unusual design is only partly successful. Certain features make the S4 larger and bulkier than most point-and-shoot competitors, and most casual shooters will likely prefer a smaller camera.
Review Verdict: The design also leaves more space for the lens, a characteristic Nikon has taken full advantage of by including a long 10X zoom lens, equivalent to a zoom range of 30mm to 380mm on a 35mm film camera. This lens is by far the longest of the zoom offerings

QuickTake:
Pros: Swiveling lens lets you shoot from different angles ; long 10X zoom lens ; convenient lens cover ; large LCD screen ; large number of scene modes ; D-lighting feature brings out shadow detail ;
Cons: Expensive ; no image stabilization ; camera shake ; no optical viewfinder ; body is bulky ; average image quality ; some images looked soft ; no flash hot shoe ; short battery life ;

Nikon Coolpix S4 digital camera review in 6 Megapixel cameras
Comments:
Six-megapixel digital compact camera with 10x optical zoom-Nikkor lens, 2.5-inch LCD and swivel bodied design
Review Verdict: The original Coolpix 900 swivel body design is revamped within this new S4 Coolpix carapace to great effect, however it is ultimately let down by lackluster image performance

QuickTake:
Pros: Plenty of subject modes and in-camera fixes for backlighting or redeye errors. Large colour screen and Face Priority AF and that swivel-bodied design
Cons: No manual controls to speak of, no optical viewfinder, image quality only fair

Review of the Nikon Coolpix S4 - Digital SLR Reviews

The popularity of superzooms - cameras with a zoom of 10x or more - proves that people like the idea of zooming in on distant subjects...

Nikon Coolpix S4
Comments:
The Nikon Coolpix S4 is a 6 megapixel digital camera in the old swivel style that Nikon Coolpix S series cameras became known for back a few years ago. It has a 10x Optical Zoom which will be attractive to many as they've maintained a fair compact camera
Review Verdict: The LCD is 2.5 inches and features Nikon's 'blur detection' and 'best shot' functions to work against camera shake (althought its not true image stabilization)

Nikon CoolPix S4
Comments:
Nikon revives the swiveling lens design that made the early year Coolpix cameras famous for ease of use. We had been told late in 2002 that the Coolpix 4500 would be the last of the "swivelers," but thankfully Nikon has decided to do it again.
Review Verdict: Bottom line - The Nikon Coolpix S4 is somewhat of a mixed bag. While we love the big 10x optical zoom lens, swiveling body design and its various user-friendly exposure modes; its average image quality, terrible movie mode, and slow flash recycle time rea

QuickTake:
Pros: Attractive design, well-built ; Swivel lens design eases shooting at odd angles ; 10x optical zoom lens much more useful than average range ; Very bright color will be pleasing to most consumers ; Exceptional macro performance ; Loads of helpful "assist"
Cons: Shutter lag is quite long at maximum telephoto ; Only average shot to shot cycle times ; Flash recycling is a little slow ; LCD doesn't work well in dim lighting ; Rather contrasty tone curve ; Very bright color may be unappealing to some users ; No expos
