LetsGoDigital previewed the Nikon Coolpix S4. The S4 is a stylish camera designed for active people, the camera packs a high Megapixel count, a large LCD monitor and zoom capability into a swiveling body that allows independent movement of the lens and LCD sections. The Nikon Coolpix S4 features a 10x Zoom-Nikkor lens whose versatility in composition takes it beyond other cameras in its class. Its 38-380mm performance (35mm equivalent) gives the user the freedom to capture everything from extreme close-ups to architecture and landscapes.

LetsGoDigital added: "The Nikon S4 pleases me tremendously. The practical concept of the tilting lens that Nikon scored with on the Coolpix 4500 and 995, is familiar and trusty. It offers every possibility to shoot from any imaginable position. The optical range from 38-380mm (equivalent of a 35mm camera) covers a huge area offered by a rather compact size camera. As far as operation and possibilities are concerned, the Nikon Coolpix S4 is a lot alike the other Nikon cameras that were introduced. The menu is neatly arranged and is easy to navigate. The pre-programmed scenes are well-known but the combination of scenes and composing-assistant; "In Camera Red Eye removal" and Face Priority AF are strong trumps that lift the Coolpix S4 camera to a higher level of user friendliness."

The Nikon Coolpix S4 also features a new grip design that boosts the user's confidence when shooting. A large, bright 2.5-inch LCD makes it easy to compose pictures and simple to play back the results on the spot. The Coolpix S4 is designed to be highly portable, with a slim 37mm depth and a light weight of 205g. The Nikon Coolpix S4 makes it possible to improve recorded images in-camera with a range of unique Nikon functions. Available in Playback Mode, the ingenious D-Lighting function enables the user to 'rescue' shots taken with insufficient flash or excessive backlight. The user simply has to select the image in question and D-Lighting automatically creates a copy, but with enhanced detail and lighting wherever necessary.

LetsGoDigital concluded: "The Nikon Coolpix S4 is a most pleasant camera to work with. The functional tilting lens offers a lot of freedom for capturing images from almost any angle. Personally I regret the Coolpix S4 camera not having more extensive possibilities like shutter priority and aperture priority. My wish probably stands from the memory I have of the 4500 and 996 models. The target group the Nikon S4 is aiming at will welcome this camera as a user-friendly digital camera. A small compact design with 10x optical zoom and a high resolution of 6 Megapixel offer the user high quality, a lot of freedom and what's more important, more user's convenience and easy."
