Reviews of the Nikon Coolpix S10
-
CNET Review
The Good: Solid, fast 10X optical zoom lens; flexible, swivel-body design; sensor-shift image stabilization.
The Bad: No manual exposure controls; no flash compensation; noisy images at ISO 400 and above.
The Bottom Line: Nikon's S10 has some decent features, including a really nice lens, but it doesn't live up to its potential and can't compete with similarly priced superzooms.

Review Summary: Despite being an improvement over its predecessor, the Coolpix S10 still turns in battery life numbers that are about 10% below average for the group. Compared to the smaller ultra zooms, though, it's actually above average

Review Summary: Here is another compact ultra-zoom designed to appeal consumers by packing a 10X stabilized optical zoom lens into a compact body. While the Nikon Coolpix S10 manages to do so, it does it with very poor ergonomics which make using it rather frustrating.
