Nikon Coolpix S210 Review
Posted on 12. Sep, 2008 by admin in Point & Shoot
The Nikon Coolpix S210 is the most compact camera currently in Nikon’s line-up. When it is off and the lens is retracted, the camera is only 19 mm (0.76 inch) thick. This very compact size still allows for a conventional 3X optical zoom — unlike the periscope-like zooms of earlier Coolpix S series cameras — and a 8.1 megapixel resolution along with a 2.5-inch LCD display.
Nikon Coolpix S200 Specification:
* Smart, Stylish, Sophisticated All-Metal Design
* 8.1 Megapixels for stunning prints as large as 16 x 20 inches.

* Incredible, bright 2.5-inch high resolution LCD makes it easy to share your pictures.
* Auto adjusts up to ISO 1000 to keep shooting, even in lower light.

Face-Priority AF - Nikon’s face-finding technology that automatically focuses on faces, and D-Lighting that rescues dark or backlit images by improving brightness and detail where needed.
Boasting 8.1 megapixels,
a 3x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, VR Image Stabilization technologies, and sleek metal body, the Nikon Coolpix S200 exudes high performance and exquisite design. The S200 features a classic camera design as the lens extends from the camera’s body when the camera is turned on; the S200 is constructed from brushed aluminum.
Electronic Vibration Reduction (e-vR)
In addition to the aforementioned features, the Nikon Coolpix S210 features several imaging innovations designed to encourage carefree shooting for the consumer. The S200 utilizes Electronic Vibration Reduction (e-VR) Image Stabilization, a feature that electronically overcomes camera shake for sharper results. The S200 has High ISO capabilities; up to 1000, ideal for capturing images in low-light situations. On the S200, the e-VR Image Stabilization feature is activated by utilizing the camera’s easy-to-use menu system.
Bright, High Resolution 2.5″ LCD Display with 16:9 Ratio
For image sharing, the Nikon Coolpix S210 has an incredibly bright, high resolution 2.5 inch LCD monitor with an anti-reflective coating, easing the composition of photos, even in direct sunlight. It also has a 16:9 aspect ratio option, making it perfect for sharing images via a high-definition television.
New Menu Interface
In order to simplify the picture taking process, Nikon has incorporated a new menu interface into the Nikon Coolpix S210, employing illustrated help dialogs for easy navigation and mode selection. This menu also provides direct access to Nikon’s triad of Image Innovations; in-camera functions for enhancing or correcting images including:
* In-Camera Red-Eye Fixâ„¢: automatically detects and corrects red eye, a common problem that occurs in flash photography.
* Face-Priority AF*: automatically finds and focuses on a persons face within the frame, providing sharp focus to produce clear, crisp portraits wherever the subject is positioned in the frame.
* D-Lighting: in playback, the user selects and creates a copy of images with excessive backlight or insufficient flash illumination, adding light and detail where necessary.
These features can be activated in the scene modes.
Nikon’s Exclusive PictureProject Software
