Nikon Coolpix S2

Review of the Nikon Coolpix S2

The Nikon Coolpix S2 is a slim and compact camera, weighing 140g without the battery. It has a 5.1 megapixel resolution and a non-protruding 3x optical zoom lens. Digital zoom is 4x. The LCD screen measures 2.5" in diameter.

The D-Lighting feature can be used to rescue underexposed images. Face-Priority AF mode helps you get the best results when photographing human subjects. The camera has an in-camera red-eye fix feature for sorting out any problem red eyes.

The Coolpix S2 has the same specification as the Nikon Coolpix S1, except for the fact that the S2 is slightly larger and heavier and does not feature an optional water-proof case. The S2, however, is splash-proof and therefore weather resistant.

This is not really a review but a call for help! I am camera ignorant and seeing my son and daughter producing amazing photos on their Nikon digital cameras I thought it was time I came to grips with this new technology. I walked into dozens of photography shops in dozens of towns in search of the ideal user friendly digital camera. I would take a glance at the array of cameras and leave immediately without purchasing. It was all too complicated. Last september when my son visited I asked him to come camera shopping and find something his mum couldn't go wrong with. He had already seen the S2 and thought it would be just right for me.(Photography is a big interest to him and his own Nikon camera is far more complicated.) Having purchased the S2 I (even I) came to grips with it very quickly. The quick start guide is very clear and I was soon snapping away at everything. I have many wonderful photos. Earlier this year I was helping my daughter at an event and put my camera to u se at the same time. At the end of the day the lighting people collected all their equipment and at the same time my mv12 coolstation and mains connection. I am sure it is with their stuff but they have not been able to locate it. I need to know where I can buy just this. Can you help please.
