Nikon CoolPix S640 review

With its 12-megapixel sensor, 5x zoom lens and 2.7in screen, the S640 risks blending in with countless other mid-price compact cameras. Not every compact claims start-up and autofocus performance to rival a digital SLR, though.

Nikon CoolPix S640

Impressively fast to switch on and focus but not so nippy from then on. Otherwise, it’s an unremarkable, slightly overpriced camera.

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

Nikon's COOLPIX S640 is a truly pocket-sized digital compact camera, optimised for the quick-draw shooting most compacts just can't manage. 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...
