Nikon Coolpix

nikon-coolpix-4600-front Nikon Coolpix model cameras unusually have large LCD screen and high megapixel count for a point-and-shoot camera, which makes it easy for reviewing shots and navigating menus. The 10X optical zoom lens of the cameras adds to its value.The video mode has a high maximum frame rate. You can print images from an 8- to 13-megapixel camera at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches with no loss in quality; at 13 by 19 inches.

Take the case of the Coolpix S10, which probably carries a higher-than-expected price tag . But the model's overall features make up for the additional up-front cost. The Coolpix S10 has a segmented body, that makes the camera handy even for creating self-portrait photos and odd-angle photos. Its one side contains the lens, and the other side contains the image processing hardware, the controls, and the LCD, which enables the user to handle it at difficult angle.

The swiveling capabilities of the Coolpix S10 makes it a pretty powerful model as it allow you holding this model in some awkward positions. Applying the vibration reduction (VR) technology, the model enoys good image-stabilization to make it possible to have blur-free photos even when the 10X zoom lens is fully extended. Thanks in part to the VR technology, the photo quality is outstanding outdoors and is more than adequate even in low-lighting conditions.

The Nikon Coolpix S10 offers 6.0 megapixels of resolution so suited to most consumer-level photographers to have high-quality prints of 8x10 inches. The Coolpix S10's 2.5-inch LCD is bright and sharp in all lighting conditions. Since there is no optical viewfinder, you have to use the LCD to frame photos.

You can shoot your first photo about 2 seconds after pressing the power button. Shutter lag can be a problem with long zoom lenses, and occasional shutter delays range from 0.5 to 1 second. There is a typical shot-to-shot delay of 1 to 1.5 seconds without flash, which probably is the downside of this model. However, with flash, the shot-to-shot delays never exceed 3 seconds.

Overall, this model carries enough above-average features to make it a very good choice of most camera fans and consumer level-photographers.
