Nikon Coolpix S210

Splurged a bit this month to get a new digicam. I've surveyed several brands and models but due to a tight budget, I've finally settled with the new Nikon Coolpix S210. This slim and compact camera first caught my attention at a camera store with its stylish and beautiful aluminum body and also, packed with all the necessary features that I was looking for.

A review was done by Steve Digicams and this was what he said "Nikon has introduced a new ultra-compact Coolpix model to their Style Series line. The super thin (less than 3/4- inch) S210 offers 8- megapixels resolution, a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens, and Electronic Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization technology. The S210 features Electronic VR Image Stabilization, which is designed to help produce sharper and clearer images, especially in lower lighting conditions or when capturing moving subjects. Users can also take advantage of extended light sensitivity settings as high as ISO 2000. Automatic sensitivity control is also included, which allows users to concentrate on a taking a photo while the camera selects the optimal ISO. To minimize blur, the S210 comes with a High-Sensitivity mode that automatically selects the optimal light sensitivity. The COOLPIX S210 utilizes Nikon's innovative EXPEED image processing system for enhanced noise reduction and improved the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio".

I'm going to start reading the manual ASAP in order to familiarise myself with the functions and start snapping away~
