Nikon CoolPix S630 (jet black) review

By (cnet.com)

Excellent design; 7x optical zoom in a compact body; ISO range limiter; good photo quality up to ISO 400

Slow performance; photos can look over-processed, soft

The Nikon Coolpix S630 puts a little extra zoom in your pocket, but you might not find the high-resolution photos it shoots out pleasurable.

Nikon Coolpix S630

By PJ Jacobowitz (pcmag.com)

The 12-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S630 ($279.95 list) packs a whopping 7x optical zoom lens into its compact body, while other cameras in this size range typically offer only 3x or 5x zoom. But the extra zoom comes at a pricethe S630 lacks key features ...

Fast 7x optical zoom lens. Solid wide-angle image quality. Comfortable, ergonomic design. Negligible shutter lag. Low noise at high ISOs (up to ISO 800)

Images are soft and color fringing occurs when zoomed in. Sluggish face detection. Underwhelming user interface

The Nikon Coolpix S630 is a good choice for minimalists who want a compact camera with a powerful optical zoom, but photographers looking for the basics may be disappointed by the lacking feature set.

If all you need is a lot of zoom power in a small, attractive camera, the...

"Default settings are not your friends, change them"

By wendy_m (cnet.com)

The reasons that this camera gets four stars ... 

Great price for the features and resolution, good battery life (rechargable, not AA) sleek design, small and compact, great for snap shots intended for the web and good macro setting

This camera is not going to perform as a DRL, it takes rather crappy snaps for print. The flash color is greenish or bluish at times (which can easily be corrected in a photo editing program) and the color balance/contrast isn't great by default

"Tested for three weeks in Europe ... V.G."

By integritytrainer (cnet.com)

I purchased a Nikon Coolpix S630 just before ... 

Quality pictures, video and audio; 7x optical zoom in a small body; logical hassle-free operation; reasonable price; low light pics are outstanding; has many nice features (too many to list here)

Zoom speed as described above. 2) The S630 requires a special battery so you need to pay about $30 more for a spare battery that you need to keep charged at all times. 3) The software included has no editing capability just viewing and transferring
