Nikon’s Coolpix digital camera line has been well-regarded since its earliest days, and now includes a wide range of 17 models from entry-level to prosumer cameras. The Coolpix S3 fits in the middle of the range and is aimed at the user seeking style combined with ease of use. In the Coolpix S3, Nikon offers a subcompact design with great looks, a generous 6 megapixel imager, a 3X optical zoom lens, a large 2.5 inch LCD screen, and a feature set designed to make it easy to use, even for the beginner.
