Who says taking pictures is all about the technicalities and no fun. Since point and shoot cameras are meant for the young consumers, it is best to make photography fun for them, failing which they wouldn’t want to have anything to do cameras at all. This could perhaps be the reason why Nikon COOLPIX S230 comes equipped with a touchscreen, a draw function that allows the user to draw whatever they want on the pictures taken and a Paint Function that adds colours, various stamps and so on to pictures to make it fun. It comes with resolution of 10.3mp and a zoom range of 3x.
Design and FunctioningLike any other compact point and shoot camera, the Nikon COOLPIX S230 comes across as a sleek, slim, colourful and lightweight. Weighing a mere 115gs, this camera comes in colours as sophisticated as Plum Red, Mauve, Cobalt Blue apart from Midnight Black and Metallic Silver. This camera incorporates Nikon's innovative touch screen LCD, offering the cutting-edge of elegant design and intuitive operation. Nikon has also provided with this camera, a stylus that brings an element of personalization and expression to the whole experience of clicking. With its Draw Function, users can write or draw on their pictures. The S230 also has the Paint Function, which enables users to add fun frames and stamps to their pictures. The camera saves the images as copies, so the user always has access to the original picture. One of its most endearing features is Nikon’s signatory 4-way Vibration Reduction which employs the use of Electronic VR to compensate for camera shake in its physical form, Motion Detection function which automatically sets faster shutter speeds and higher ISO values when the subject moves, a maximum ISO value of 2000, for better sensitivity, and the Best Shot Selector Function to select the sharpest and crispest pictures out of ten sequential shots. It comes with internal memory of 50MB and is compatible with SD/SDHC cards.
