Top Nikon Coolpix S200 Camera Reviews
Imaging Resource wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix S200 and said: "The Nikon Coolpix S200 is
small, slim, and stylish, but its images are a little
disappointing when compared to other cameras on the market. On
the plus side, the camera looks good and is easy to use--two
attributes that snapshooters value."
Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix S200 and said: "As for image quality, the S200
isn't bad, but it does have a few issues. I found that in shots
taken on a bright but cloudy day colour saturation was a bit
lacking, and overall most images lacked contrast. The level of
fine detail proved to be higher than average for a 7MP camera,
however the severe file compression does it no favours, with
visible compression artefacts."
CNET wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix S200 and said: "Images from the S200 aren't as
sharp as we'd expect from a 7-megapixel camera."
Nikon Coolpix S200 News Release Summary:
Nikon’s New 7.1 Megapixel Cameras offer Sophisticated Styling,
Quality Construction and Advanced Performance
MELVILLE, NY (February 19, 2007) – Building on the success of
the COOLPIX Style Series of digital cameras, Nikon is pleased to
introduce the S200. Boasting 7.1 megapixels, a 3x Zoom-Nikkor
glass lens, VR Image Stabilization technologies, and sleek metal
bodies, these cameras exude high performance and exquisite
design. Both cameras feature a classic camera design as the lens
extends from the camera's body when the cameras are turned on;
the S200 is constructed from brushed aluminum.
“With the S200 and S500, Nikon is further distinguishing itself
as a leader in compact camera design and innovation," says Bill
Giordano, General Manager Marketing, COOLPIX for Nikon Inc.
"These cameras pack style and performance into sleek, metal
bodies, allowing even the most style-savvy consumer to enjoy the
ease and quality of COOLPIX technology."
In addition to the aforementioned features, the COOLPIX S200 and
S500 feature 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. For
greater vibration control. Both the S200 and S500 have
High ISO capabilities; the S200 up to 1000 and the S500 up to
ISO 2000, 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. The S500
features a new Anti-Shake button, located on the top of the
camera, which activates high ISO, VR and Best Shot Selector
(BSS) at the same time to produce clearer results in low light
or at telephoto zoom settings.
For image sharing, the S200 has an incredible, bright, high
resolution 2.5 inch LCD monitor with an anti-reflective coating,
easing the composition of photos, even in direct sunlight. These
cameras also have a 16:9 aspect ratio option, making them
perfect for sharing images via a high-definition television.
In order to simplify the picture taking process, Nikon has
incorporated a new menu interface into the S200, 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 Fix™: 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.
On the S500, these features can be activated by pressing the
One-Touch portrait button, located on the top of the camera, or
selected in the scene modes in the S200.
Both the COOLPIX S200 comes bundled with Nikon's exclusive
PictureProject software. The PictureProject software is powerful
and user-friendly and makes transferring, organizing, editing
and sharing photos a snap. Both cameras are SDHC compatible and
utilize the new ultra-compact EN-EL10 rechargeable Li-ion
battery.
The COOLPIX S200 will be available at photo-specialty stores
nationwide in March 2007 at an MSRP of $249.95. For more
