Nikon Coolpix S210
The Best Digital Camera US$ 250
The Coolpix S210 is a small compact camera that offers you a basic point and shoot experience.
Packing 8-megapixels in its metal shell, you get a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, 3x optical zoom and an ISO settings up to 2000.
Available in a choice of Bright Silver, Urban Black, Pink, Blue, Purple, or Red body colours, the camera is clearly aimed at the entrant to the photography world and the easy-to-use and well-placed buttons next to the screen at the back of the camera confirm this. There are no fiddly dials, no confusing menu systems. Pressing “Mode” gives you the choice of automatic, the high ISO setting, scene modes, use of the voice recorder to take notes, movie mode and settings.
Tech specs include electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization, improved Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, D-Lighting, 15 scene modes, a macro shooting from 10cm, three movie modes with sound, plus time-lapse movie mode, 52MB of internal memory and PictBridge support.
Contrasting colours are managed well (see blue and white sign) however we did find that images where on the soft side of things at times.
Overall though the image quality is great unless you are planning on creating large poster size shots, at which point this might not be your best option.
