The Nikon Coolpix S570 is the perfect companion for a day out. The wide-angle lens has a 12 x zoom that means you can shoot many different scenarios ranging from dinner with friends to a day on the mountain. Quality is lessened with the use of the zoom but not excessively so.
The screen is a 2.7 inch LCD screen giving clear previews to show to friends. A best shot selector will take 10 shots of your image and then choose the one most in focus. Photo sizes can go up to 16 x 20 inches as image resolution goes up to 12.0 megapixels. Four film options exist and the best produces films at 640 x 480 resolution at 30 fps. No HD functions keep the cost low.
ISO 3200 combined with a motion detector and a stabilization function allows for shots to be done in low lighting and shaky hands. The 16 modes for shooting scenes in varied situations allows for excellent picture quality no matter the setting. This is unusual in the budget digital camera.
Pictures of the family and friends larking about are easy to make with the smart portrait system. A function to airbrush skin improves the look of most faces and AF function allows you to focus on up to 10 faces in a group shot. The blink and smile functions allow you to capture your subjects smile and open eyes every time. A built-in flash reaches a width of 5 m if set on wide angle.
The Camera is finished in a metallic coating of black, blue, red, pink or silver on the front. The black back however is a non-glossy plastic with a thumb pad that is great for keeping a grip on your camera.
If you are serious about taking pictures but don’t have a great deal of money to spend, this will give you all the basics you need. The 47 MB internal memory and hi-speed USB connection, combined with D-lighting, auto sort/favourite picture function and a time zone setting rounds off a good buy.
You don’t have to know much about cameras, you just need to find the best digital camera reviews available online. The Nikon Coolpix S570 slimline device ranks as one of the top choices in its weight class.
