Nikon Coolpix S2900 Review

Ben Andrews reviews the compact Nikon Coolpix S2900 - available in a number of colours and ultra compact - but how does it perform?

Slim & light ; Easy to use ; Smart Portrait and Glamour Retouch options ; Available in a number of colours

No image stabilisation ; Very slow ; Average image quality ; Poor LCD screen ; Slippery to hold

The Coolpix S2900 is a slim, easy to use camera that produces vibrant, well exposed images. Battery life is also good, and you get some clever portrait-orientated features and processing tools.

Compact and very competent

" As a non-photographer, I wanted a small camera to slip in my pocket to take photos out and about. Have used it lots; it's well built and relatively easy to understand - still getting to grips with its various features but so far it's been great. "
