Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Nikon Coolpix S1 offers 5.1 effective megapixels and a 3x optical zoom-Nikkor ED glass lens for beautiful 16 x 20inch prints. The incredible 2.5 inch LCD makes for easy viewing and image playback. This stunning camera has a compact metal body that's a mere 3/4 inch thick and is shirt pocket small. The included Coolstation dock makes it easy to download images, and Nikon's exclusive in-camera Red-Eye fix, automatically removes most typical instances of red-eye during the picture taking process. The D-Lighting feature automatically lightens overly dark images in playback mode. There's no guesswork, as on-screen help is available for all main menu functions.

5.1 Megapixel CCD and 3x Optical Zoom-Nikkor Lens - The Nikon Coolpix S1 combines a 3x optical zoom-Nikkor lens with a 5.1 effective megapixel CCD, which lets the user capture spectacular images at resolutions up to 2592 x 1944 (15MB file) and create amazing 16 x 20 inch prints. The 3x zoom-Nikkor lens offers a 35 to 105 millimeter zoom (35mm equivalent) and provides excellent image quality.

Incredible, Bright 2.5 inch LCD - The oversized and easy-to-see 2.5 inch LCD makes composing your pictures easier, as well as making it more fun to share your pictures while they are still in the camera.

Compact, Slim, Metal Body - The Coolpix S1 has a compact metal body that is a mere 3/4 inch thick. This shirt-pocket-small camera will come along everywhere you go! Its sleek and sexy styling is a delight to use and own.

Nikon Exclusive Face Priority Autofocus - The S1 can distinguish when the subject is a human face and sets the focus accordingly. Now all your portraits will have tack-sharp focus on the subject's face (rather than the wall behind them!).

Nikon Exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix - A hands-free solution for red-eye; this powerful software analyzes the image data and corrects most typical instances of red-eye in less than 3 seconds! The In-Camera Red-Eye Fix feature turns on automatically when the red-eye reduction flash mode is selected.

Nikon Exclusive D-Lighting - The Coolpix S1 incorporates D-Lighting, which automatically compensates for under- and over-exposure due to insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in a picture.

17 Scene Modes, 4 with Scene Assist - Selecting a scene mode automatically sets the camera for the optimum performance in most popular picture-taking situations. Scene assist further aids with composition, exposure and focus. Scene Modes: party/indoor, dawn/dusk, back light, beach/snow, sunset, night landscape, copy, fireworks, close up, panorama, museum, underwater and voice recording. Scene assist modes: night portrait, portrait, landscape, and sports.

Adjustable GUI with Help Button - Choose between the traditional menu item view or the all new ICON view. Press the help button and it will instantly display an explanation for all main menu functions on the LCD.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 15 Jul 2005
    By fu-rin (California, USA) - See all my reviews
    I researched into digital cameras in depth for few months, and decided to buy this camera for Nikon's renowned photo quality, reliability, large+quality LCD screen, long-life battery, numerous functions (scene selections) and for its stylish body.

    After waiting for nearly a month, my digital camera finally arrived about a week and a half ago. Since then, I had a chance to take photos under a lot of different situations; indoor - bright/dim, outdoor - bright/dim, sea, close-ups, portraits, movements, etc. Close-up function (within scene selections) worked perfectly, even without a photographic talent. Image was crisp and colourful. I took lots of photos of the Sea with Sea/Snow function (scene selection), and again, the photo came out perfectly, describing the joyous scene well. These are just few examples.

    The large LCD screen makes it enjoyable even just to look at the photos. It seems to have slower shutter speed compared to some of the other cameras, according to detailed camera features, but that has not been a problem for me.
    However, I could see that bigger fingers may have problems pressing some of the smaller buttons. - I suggest you go check it out once at a retailer.
    Otherwise, it is just great. I am so glad I chose this camera to Canon or other popular cameras I was considering during the research period.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Poor Indoor/Low Light Performance, 4 Sep 2005
    I've had my new Coolpix S1 for a few days now and have to say that I'm disappointed with its performance.

    Whilst the image quality is acceptable for this type of camera in well lit outdoor scenes, if fails to take acceptable images indoors or in poor light conditions.

    I have an ageing Kodak DC280 and a Sony K750i mobile phone with 2MP camera. Whilst the S1 has better general image performance than both of these two, in poor light conditions even the mobile phone takes better, more naturally coloured images with less noise visible.

    The camera only has basic manual settings, allowing configuration of ISO equivalence & White balance.

    The flash on the S1 is weak and does not give adequate illumination in many situations. The Slow Sync mode gives better results. The small form factor of the camera means that it can be hard to hold steady. This can give blurred results, especially with the flash off. Although the camera does provide a warning when this happens.

    There are good points about this camera. The small size and attractive design, the large LCD display, the abundance of scene modes that assist in composing images, etc.

    I find it hard to recommend this camera. It does however seem to get good reviews generally, so would suggest you try before you buy. In my opinion there are better ultra compacts out there.

    3.0 out of 5 stars poor low light capture, 27 Mar 2006
    overall i would said S1 is a good product. Big LCD screen, slim and handy.
    however, when it's come to low light or night view capture without using flash, the results is poor. no matter how stable your hand is or even when you lie the camera on something, the result is still blur.
    however,
    during the day time, the results is good . clear and sharp.
    the battery doesnt last long though. if you take around 60 photos a day, you have to charge the battery everynight.
