Nikon CoolPix S640 Review
A high-spec ultra-compact, the Nikon S640 not only boasts a 28-140mm 5x zoom lens, 12.2MP and a 2.7in 230k LCD monitor, but it also has lens-shift optical image stabilisation. Our Nikon CoolPix S640 review puts it through its paces
Pros:
- Image quality

Nikon Coolpix S640 Digital Camera Review
Review of Nikon Coolpix S640, the fastest camera in the Coolpix range with an autofocus speed comparable to digital SLRs. Let's take a look at this 12-megapixel camera.

Brilliant gadget for my handbag!
I already have a Nikon D80 and love the brand, but I wanted a convenient sized camera so I won't miss any snaps and that can also take video. I wanted the highest amount of MPs and optical zoom - I would have loved 7 or 12 X optical zoom, but would have had to compromise camera size- I already have...

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

The S640 is the latest evolution of the S600 line that's now a few years old. When we reviewed the S620 , we criticised it for feeling a little insubstantial. This model feels just a little heftier, which we like, and a little more compact too, with near-identical overall dimensions to the Canon...

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 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
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...
