Great Point and Shoot
This camera can power on and take a picture in 1 second, but if you don't take it right away you have to wait about 5 seconds. I'm happy with the camera's portability and quality, but would like it to take pictures in faster intervals (about 1-2 seconds between shots).

Nikon COOLPIX S640
Let's be honest here, the Coolpix S640 is an unremarkable-looking camera. However, appearances can be deceptive – under the skin, the S640 packs a lot of technology. Indeed, Nikon makes the bold claim that this innocuous camera is its fastest-focussing compact ever.

This Product Deserves 4.5 Stars
I've had this camera for about a year and it's my go-to camera for everything. It's so light weight and the perfect fit-in-your-pocket size that it's so easy to take it everywhere with you. It takes great pictures, especially if you have the right lighting.

Nikon Coolpix S640
Featuring a flat front panel and a boxy countenance, the S640 doesn't scream anything in particular when you take it out of the box. There are no dangerous curves, no odd protrusions or quirky exterior additions.
Pros:
- Quick autofocus
- Wide-angle lens
- 5x optical zoom
Cons:
- Quick to start-up but takes a few seconds to actually initialise
- No HD video
- Noisy above ISO 400

Nikon Coolpix S640
The Nikon Coolpix S640's MSRP is $50 more than its linemate, the S570. But that $50 buys you optical image stabilization, some slightly improved shooting performance, and a couple extra shooting options.
Pros:
- Nice design
- easy to use
- excellent photo quality up to ISO 200
- improved autofocus and start-up performance
Cons:
- High-ISO settings not worth using
- no HD video

Nikon Coolpix S640 review Review
The 12.2-megapixel Coolpix S640 ultra-compact camera doesn't excel in any one area, but it's a good all-rounder that should serve snapshooters well. There's no high-definition movie mode, but its pictures below ISO 200 are excellent, it has a high-end feel and it offers decent performance
Pros:
- Good design
- Easy to use
- Excellent photo quality up to ISO 200
- Improved autofocus and start-up performance compared to other Coolpix cameras
Cons:
- High ISO settings aren't worth using
- No high-definition video mode

Nikon Coolpix S640
Super-compact and luxurious, but sluggish in use and Canon edges it on desirability

I have been an avid Canon and Olympus camera user and finally decided to buy my first Nikon after reading the great reviews of the S640 online before it luanched in the market in Aug 2009.
