Nikon Coolpix S210 Review
S200 Update
An update of the popular S200, Nikon’s latest super-slim entry model ticks a lot of boxes for the price: 8MP sensor, Vibration Reduction (electronic), Face Detection, High ISO (up to ISO 2000), D-Lighting and, of course, a choice of snazzy colours.
Performance
The styling and build quality belies the selling price and unlike many small cameras it isn’t fiddly to use. The buttons on the back are a good size, well placed and easy to read, with a clear menu interface, too. In use the camera is a bit sluggish to start up but once on wastes little time.
Image Quality
Images look sharp and well saturated at normal sizes, though under magnification you can see a lot of processing has been employed to make it so. The exception is the high ISO mode where at ISO 1600 the results can be a ghastly noise-fest. Overall though, the S210 gives you a lot for your money.
Verdict
Good images, great value and its small form make the S210 a great entry-level model.
