COOLPIX S210, a stylish new camera that delivers stunning images

RRP: £179.99/ €263.00
Sales start date: March 2008

Nikon UK is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX S210, a stylish new camera that delivers stunning images. 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. Its digital image processing engine 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. The clarity and precision provided by a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens that covers a practical range from 38-114mm (35mm format equivalent) allows the photographer to capture everything from group shots to close-up portraits. Electronic VR image stabilization adds extra reassurance for sharper and clearer images, especially in lower light or when shooting moving subjects.

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 clean design of the back with large control buttons to the user-friendly rotary multi selector carefully positioned to provide intuitive operation.

The COOLPIX S210 will be available in a choice of Bright Silver, Urban Black, Pink, Blue, Purple, or Red body colours*.

Nikon COOLPIX S210 Feature Highlights

VR image stabilisation
Compensating for the effects of camera shake to realize sharper results, electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation frees you to enjoy capturing special moments without worrying about slight hand movements, particularly in lower light conditions.

ISO 2000 capability provides extended shooting range
Extended light sensitivity range with manual settings up to ISO 2000 makes it easier to take great-looking pictures in lower lighting conditions, or to capture moving subjects with outstanding clarity. Automatic sensitivity control is also available, freeing you to concentrate on the shot while the camera selects the optimal setting across a range between ISO 64 and ISO 800. And High-Sensitivity mode minimises blur by automatically selecting optimal light sensitivity.

Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor for quality viewing and menu operation
The COOLPIX S210 is equipped with a quality 2.5-inch LCD monitor that features 230k-dots of high resolution, a wide 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle, anti-reflection coating for better display in bright situations, and an acrylic panel that prevents scratches and fingerprints. Improved shooting displays with revised icons and information feedback help make framing and shooting easier.
