Nikon Coolpix S1 Digital Camera

Nikon Coolpix S1 Digital Camera
The Nikon Coolpix S1 is the latest in a long line of Coolpix digital cameras whose popularity stretches back to the original Coolpix 900, Nikon's first "breakthrough" digicam. The new Nikon S1 is the first in such a small, slim package. (Just slightly larger than a credit card, and only about 0.8 inch thick.)




Feature-wise, the Nikon Coolpix S1 falls somewhere between the recent Coolpix 5600 and 5900. Physically, however, the Nikon S1 is compact and extremely pocketable. It has no protruding lens parts, and as a result is unlikely to get snagged anywhere. Its 5.1 megapixel imager means it can capture relatively high resolution images, and its 3x zoom lens gives you the focal length flexibility you need to frame your subjects well. All in all, it's an excellent "take-with-you-everywhere" digital camera. With its range of user-friendly, point & shoot exposure modes, the Nikon Coolpix S1 can handle just about any photo opportunity you're likely to throw at it.
