ImagingResource - 3/18/2007 - reviews the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and writes, “Between capture and playback, the S7c provides a lot of picture-taking intelligence. The ED glass makes the most of the S7c’s small lens. The Feature System provides Nikon exclusives like face detection auto focusing, in-camera red-eye removal, and D-Lighting. The Scene modes are easily accessed, especially Portrait, which has its own button. Everything else is fun to find with the new rotary multi-selector.”
PCMag - 2/21/2007 - reviews the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and writes, “My test shots were impressive, sharp with very little noise. I also liked the color vibrancy and accuracy. There was nice, strong contrast and very little fringing. But the flash images weren’t that great. That may be due to the small flash. I also found that the images had a blue-greenish cast.”
DCRP - 1/31/2007 - reviews the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and writes, “Most people buy a camera for the quality of the photos it takes, and the S7c is a letdown in this area. On the positive side, it takes well-exposed photos with pleasing colors, low noise levels, and minimal purple fringing. The bad news the camera suffers from above average barrel distortion, significant blurring around the edges of the frame, and noticeable vignetting. These are the same issues that plagued the Coolpix S6 as well. It’s disappointing to see a company like Nikon make a less-than-stellar lens like this. As with nearly all ultra-compacts, the S7c has a redeye problem, and its built-in removal tool did not help.”
PopPhoto - 1/26/2007 - reviews the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and writes, “Is this a serious camera for the hardcore photo enthusiast? No, not really. But for the plugged-in member of the Internet generation who likes to share snapshots while sipping iced lattes, the Coolpix S7c is as good as they come.”
DigitalCameraReview - 1/20/2007 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they write - “Overall, I was pleased with the Nikon Coolpix S7c. The image quality was very good and the wireless features worked well. The camera is also very stylish and thin - you’re sure to turn some heads. If the looks aren’t enough, then just flash the large 3 inch screen and that should just about do it.
The camera includes a lot of great Nikon features, like their face priority AF, D-Lighting, and some nice scene assist modes. The Coolpix Connect service makes this camera more useful over wireless networks than previous WiFi-enabled Nikon cameras.
The Nikon Coolpix S7c is perfectly suited to the “gadget freak†that is looking for an ultra-compact camera and wants to take advantage of the wireless capabilities of the camera. The camera’s style will also appeal to a broader cross section of users.”
Ephotozine - 12/14/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they write - “The design is very nice in general terms – it’s glossy, sleek and attractive, which is exactly what you want in a style camera. The LCD is large and easily visible in daylight, but the auto-focus doesn’t impress and the portrait-enhanced mode doesn’t provide tangible benefits. The pushy flash system is a pain, because you’re always turning it off, and handling isn’t very good because its slippy and shiny, and the buttons are recessed.”
ImagingResource - 12/9/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they write - “Between capture and playback, the S7c provides a lot of picture-taking intelligence. The ED glass makes the most of the S7c’s small lens. The Feature System provides Nikon exclusives like face detection auto focusing, in-camera red-eye removal, and D-Lighting. The Scene modes are easily accessed, especially Portrait, which has its own button. Everything else is fun to find with the new rotary multi-selector. In short, it’s a smart choice.”
ComputerActive - 12/5/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they write - “The Nikon Coolpix S7c is a quick, easy-to-use and eye-catching snapshot camera, boasting a wealth of features that ensure you get the best pictures possible without stretching your patience too far.”
PhotographyBlog - 11/24/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they write - “As a camera that is good to look at, the Nikon Coolpix S7c fits the bill, but does it take good photos? Thankfully yes - on the whole pictures from this camera are well-exposed, relatively noise-free up to ISO 400, with little purple-fringing. The only flies in the ointment are blurred corners and vignetting at the 35mm wide-angle focal length and poor night shots. Obviously, as the S7c is strictly a point and shoot camera, it offers very little in the way of creative controls, but it’s perfectly suited to it’s target audience. If you’re looking for a stylish, slim, point-and-shoot compact camera with the added bonus of wireless connectivity, then make sure to take a look at the Nikon Coolpix S7c.”
TrustedReviews - 11/7/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they write - “The Coolpix S7c is another expensive Nikon S-series camera with major handling problems, and also some serious issues with image quality. It is certainly stylish, well made and has a number of clever high-tech features, but these qualities are overshadowed by its many weaknesses. Considering its high price and the stiff competition, the S7c has little to recommend it.”
CNET - 10/13/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S7c digital camera and they rate it 7.2 out of 10 - “Nikon’s Coolpix S7c is a nice ultracompact camera. Though there’s still plenty more Nikon can do to make its Wi-Fi functionality more useful, it’s done a good job of delivering what it promised in this area. If Wi-Fi doesn’t mean much to you, Sony’s Cyber Shot DSC-T10 delivers slightly faster performance and comparable or slightly sharper image quality.”
