Nikon Coolpix S01 Review

Would you believe if we said, “The camera we got our hands on is smaller than your palm?” The latest from Nikon, the Coolpix S01, indeed is so small that it can easily pass off as a Zippo lighter, not kidding! Let's find out what it packs in its...

Despite its miniscule form, the S01 is very comfortable to use. It’s designed for single-handed use while shooting. All you have to do is just point and shoot. Even the tiny zoom lever around the shutter release button is within comfortable reach of...

Nikon Coolpix S01

A camera of the tiniest proportions, the S01 weighs in at just under 100 grams and proportions that may make it the smallest camera on the market. Nikon has achieved this engineering feat by packing in a smaller, cellphone camera sized 10.1 megapixel...

Nikon CoolPix S01

The Nikon CoolPix S01 offers the smallest point and shoot camera available on the market and will be a great fit if you mostly plan to share images online. The image quality and available features could use some improvement, but if you just need to...

This camera is incredibly small and has a huge internal memory

The touchscreen is unresponsive, and the pictures are not high quality

The Nikon CoolPix S01 will fit in any purse or pocket and take decent pictures without much adjustment.

compact, easily accessible, and user friendly.

The camera is a conveniently sized addition to my collection. It's perfect for dinner and a going out night, especially with a small purse. Pictures are taken very quickly and easily, however the quality is not the best. It does get the job done...

the size

the picture quality isn't the greatest

Awesome camera for travel.

Love this little camera. Small size makes it easy to carry anywhere. It takes great pictures on the Auto setting, just point and shoot. Zoom function works great also for a camera of this size. Easy to operate so you don't have to know anything...

Just point and click for great pics

A little hard to open the cable connector cover at times

Nice little camera, but w/ real size features.

It's incredible that so many larger camera features are on this camera, including touch screen. It's too bad that they couldn't have magically had a larger screen, but after all it is a small camera. No slot for more memory (no room?). Lag time between...

Small size, larger camera features

Small display, no memory card, slow respond time

Technophobes rejoice!

I bought this for my wife. She's gone form Technophobe to Technoclutz in one fell swoop with this camera. On the fast track to becoming a Techoguru as she figures out how to use this. It fits perfectlyinherpurse and is always handy for a quick happy...

True point and shoot in a compact size

No support for RAW image format
