Top Nikon Coolpix S7c Camera Reviews
Cnet wrote a review of the
Nikon Coolpix S7c
and said: "Image quality from the Coolpix S7c was generally
very pleasing, though as can be expected, at its highest ISO
settings, images became rather noisy. Colors were accurate and
well saturated, though not oversaturated. Exposures were
generally accurate and tended to sacrifice highlights to
preserve shadow detail on the most difficult scenes. The
automatic white balance did a very good job of serving up
neutral colors with our lab's tungsten lights."
Nikon Coolpix S7c News Release Summary:
Nikon UK is pleased to announce the COOLPIX S7c
Nikon is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX
S7c, a slim elegant compact digital camera that boasts vibration
reduction and sophisticated in-camera improvement technology.
The 7.1 megapixels and 35-105mm (35mm equivalent) zoom-Nikkor ED
lens offers photographers the flexibility to shoot a range of
images from wide-open landscapes to clear portraits boasting
true-to-life colour. The large, bright 3.0-inch LCD monitor and
170-degree viewing angle allows smoother composition and
high-quality playback anywhere, at any time.
Built-in electronic Vibration Reduction (e-VR) and other
Vibration Reduction capabilities compensate for camera shake and
unsteady subjects to ensure sharp, clear results. Anti-shake
mode automatically activates e-VR and BSS, a feature that
selects the sharpest image from up to ten sequential shots,
while also setting the optimal ISO for steady results.
High-Sensitivity mode maximizes the camera’s exceptionally high
light sensitivity by choosing the optimal setting, up to ISO
1600, for shooting fast-moving subjects or low light conditions.
The new model boats a wealth of features that help create the
perfect picture, including a One-touch portrait button which
acts as shortcut to three unique Nikon image innovations.
Face-priority AF*** automatically focuses on a person’s face for
satisfyingly sharp portraits. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix allows
photographers to compensate for unwanted red-eye effects
in-camera and under exposed images, or shots taken with too much
back light, can be rescued with the help of D-Lighting
technology. There are 15 scene modes to choose from to suit the
desired effect.
The COOLPIX S7c also features built-in IEEE 802.11b/g LAN
support. An integral Wi-Fi antenna supports the wireless image
transfer of images to a computer and wireless printing is made
possible with PictBridge-compatible printers*.
Pictmotion, the in-camera entertainment facility, allows users
to select and combine their favourite images, movies, music and
visual styles to produce audiovisual shows that can be enjoyed
on the large built-in LCD. The COOLPIX S7c also features a new
Stop-motion movie function that allows users to produce
professional-looking animated movies.
The versatility of the new model is extended with the
COOL-STATION MV-15 supplied with the camera. The handy cradle
enables batteries to be recharged without removing them from the
camera. An integrated USB port makes it possible to connect the
camera to a TV. A Dock Insert PV-11 adds immediate direct print
performance with ImageLink-compatible printers.
Like all COOLPIX cameras, the COOLPIX S7c comes complete with
Nikon’s unique PictureProject software, making it easy to edit,
organise and share images. The software is compatible with a
range of available plug-ins for further functionality.
* Wireless printing requires optional Wireless Printer Adapter
PD-10.
*** Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting
conditions.
Note: Specifications, design, product name, standard
accessories, and release schedule may differ by country or area.
Nikon COOLPIX S7c Feature Highlights
Vibration Reduction
The COOLPIX S7c features electronic Vibration Reduction (VR)
capability that allows users to overcome the effects of camera
shake to produce satisfyingly sharp images. Taking data from a
built-in angular velocity sensor, the system applies in-camera
image processing to turn blurred images into beautifully sharp
results. The COOLPIX S7c also offers new Anti-Shake and
High-Sensitivity modes for clearer, more stable images in
diverse situations.
Built-in Wi-Fi capability
With a built-in Wi-Fi antenna that complements the overall
attraction of the wave-surface design, the COOLPIX S7c offers
the freedom and flexibility of Wireless LAN support (IEEE
802.11b/g). Photographers are able to send pictures from memory
to a computer on demand and transfer each image to the computer
as soon as it has been taken. Wireless printing sends images
directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer* for printing.
* Requires optionally available Wireless Printer Adapter PD-10.
Pictmotion and Stop-motion movie
Offering entertainment in-camera, users can choose up to 30
images or movies, select one of five soundtracks already in the
camera or load new ones to match the mood*, then select a visual
style. The COOLPIX S7c then produces a show automatically
in-camera – with pace and transitions set in harmony with the
music and style. A new Stop-motion movie function allows users
to create professional-looking animated movies by selecting
objects or models they wish to animate, shoot them, move them,
then shoot again. The COOLPIX S7c then automatically creates an
impressive animated film in-camera.
* Via PictureProject for Windows only; each file up to 3 minutes
long.
Nikon image innovations
The One-touch portrait button makes it easier than ever to take
impressive photographs by offering direct access to three Nikon
image innovations – Face-priority AF* that automatically finds
and focuses on faces in the frame, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix that
detects and compensates for the unwanted red-eye effect
sometimes encountered with flash, and Nikon’s powerful
D-Lighting that can improve underexposed images or shots taken
with too much backlight. Light and detail are automatically
added to a copy of the shot wherever necessary leaving
well-exposed areas exactly as they are.
* Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting
conditions.
