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."
