 Nikon S10 review at PhotographyBLOG : DIWA member Mark Goldstein from PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S10 digital compact camera. The Nikon S10 camera features 6.0 effective Megapixel image resolution as well as a built-in 38-380mm (35mm equivalent) 10x Zoom-Nikkor lens, making it easy to compose everything from close portraits to wide-open scenery with fine detail and vivid color. With the advantage of VR (Vibration Reduction) capability, the Nikon Coolpix S10 allows users to overcome camera shake to take sharper, more stable pictures in a range of shooting situations. The Nikon S10 additionally features a handy One-touch portrait button that provides direct access to three unique in-camera Nikon image innovations.

 Nikon Coolpix S10 - Stabilisation
According to Mark Goldstein: "Like other current Nikon compacts, the Coolpix S10 has trouble getting sharp images in less than perfect light, though with VR on constant activation, the S10, for me, delivered much better results than the (VR lacking) S9 under similar conditions. However, if in doubt, the Nikon S10 is over keen to fire the flash to compensate, which is thermonuclear in its intensity. Even when the built-in flash is used, the S10 doesn't always get it right when pre-focusing the shot, and I found it trickier than it should be to achieve a sharply focused image under artificial light."
Nikon S10 camera - Wide and Tele zoom
Mark continues: "The Nikon S10 undoubtedly functions better outdoors, choosing to underexpose to preserve detail if it's bright. On close inspection there is some purple fringing visible between areas of high contrast, though the Nikon Coolpix S10 handles this perennial problem better than some competing compacts. At maximum wideangle verticals do begin to lean and bend, but again this is no worse than illustrated by rivals. Colours were a bit cool for my liking left on standard setting, with the vivid option lending some much needed pep on a dull day, though of course these could always be boosted in Photoshop."
