PCWorld reviews the Nikon Coolpix S210 and they write -
“I was disappointed that noise was a problem in my test shots starting at ISOs as low as 200. Shutter delay was another frustration; the S210 performs just a bit slower than other cameras in its class, resulting in missed opportunities (often) and blurred images (occasionally).”

Cameras.co.uk reviews the Nikon Coolpix S210 and they write -
“This really is a small digital camera. At 18mm wide it is one of the slimmest you will find. The camera is able to produce striking colors and bright images. This is a handy, snapshot camera.”

StevesDigicams reviews the Nikon Coolpix S210 and they write -
“Here is an incredibly easy to use and stylish 8-megapixel digicam. This is a great camera for anyone looking for a point-n-shoot model only. It has very few options for adjustments and no manual shooting modes. The performance was a little slow for a consumer model in this class, but the quality of the images are good, and the size makes it one of the smallest and easiest to carry cameras on the market. With an MSRP of US$179, we feel this camera offers a good a deal for anyone who is in the market for a simple digicam that can fit into the smallest of pockets.”

CNET reviews the Nikon Coolpix S210 and they write -
“The good: Small, sleek, and attractive; some nice features for the money.

The bottom line: Though it’s stylish, affordable, and easy to use, the Nikon Coolpix S210 performance and photo quality aren’t nearly as pretty.”

Press Excerpt

January 29, 2008, Tokyo — Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX S210, a stylish new camera that’s a pleasure to carry and a joy to shoot with. Built on a custom application of Nikon’s innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept and incorporating the precision optics of a NIKKOR lens, the COOLPIX S210 places advanced shooting functions comfortably in the hand for greater fun with photography.

Outstanding imaging ability begins with 8.0 effective megapixels of sharp resolution. It gets even better with its digital image processing engine that faithfully reproduces fine details and subtle tones, delivers quick response, and maintains image quality and clarity when taking advantage of extended light sensitivity settings as high as ISO 2000. And completing the triad is the clarity and precision provided by a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens that covers a practical range from 38-114mm (35mm format equivalent) to ably capture everything from group shots to close-up portraits. Electronic VR image stabilization adds extra reassurance that the results will be sharper and clearer, especially in lower light or when shooting moving subjects.

As befits a fine photographic tool, the COOLPIX S210 is housed in a slim, quality-crafted aluminum body with gentle contours that fit comfortably in the hand. Functional beauty and classic camera appeal are the theme throughout, from the hairline treatment on the face to the clean design of the back with large control buttons and the user-friendly rotary multi selector carefully positioned to provide intuitive operation.
