Nikon Coolpix S640

The Nikon Coolpix S640 is on the face of it a rather run-of-the-mill compact camera, with a 12 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom lens and 2.7 inch screen. That's not telling the whole story though, as Nikon are claiming that the diminutive S640 is the fastest focusing camera in its class, and even...

Nikon S640 Review

I recommend the Nikon S640 for those of you looking for something simple, yet capable. It's a decent point and shoot camera, but not necessarily one that will stand out in the crowd.

Nikon Coolpix S640 Review

Alright, I have one more Nikon camera review before I move on to other things like the Canon PowerShot S90. The Nikon Coolpix S640 is a compact point-and-shoot that packs a 5X zoom lens and supposedly "very fast AF".
Pros:
  • Acceptable image quality
  • mostly for shooting in good light, Fairly fast autofocus performance, Good battery life
  • USB charging enabled, 5X optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization (though see below, Automatic scene selection, many scene modes, elaborate face detection/portrait features
Cons:
  • Edge softness and below average image clarity, Slow lens aperture range at telephoto end, No manual controls
  • scarce on-screen display details, No HD video recording
  • optical zoom and optical stabilization unavailable when recording, Slow burst mode and below average writing times

Nikon Coolpix S640 Review

Compact cameras have always been popular (at least in part) because they're unobtrusive and not intimidating to subjects. The inconspicuous little Nikon Coolpix S640 should fit right in – it does a remarkably good job across the board and it's tough enough to go just about anywhere.
Pros:
  • Fast
  • Tough and versatile
  • Easy to use
Cons:
  • Lots of noise at high ISO
  • No manul exposure
  • Weak flash

Pros:
  • Compact and light
  • great zoom
Cons:
  • Poor overall image quality
  • overpriced

I had just returned from a month-long trip checking out the top technology at IFA in Berlin and the World Expo in Shanghai when I heard that I had become editor...

Sorry but it's so plasticky so it is not true. Submitted my 2 times on repairs. Gently used with cover, yet loosens screws from it and now it's LENS. Total unsatisfied! Ledsen men den är så plastig så det inte är sant. Lämnat in min 2 gånger på reperation.
