Photographers who take pictures in unstable environments can now rest assured that no matter how much they shake, the Electronic VR of the Coolpix S210 will produce stable pictures.

The S210 did not compromise on display. A large 2.5 inch LCD display produces crisp images for optimum previewing of images. Even in the dark or in blatant sunlight, you can clearly view images of your subjects before you take the shot.

There is marked improvement in the casing design of the camera. Glossy aluminum and chrome-plated body give the camera flamboyant look that makes it a presentable gift and a beautiful object to hold. The acrylic display is scratch resistant and will ensure that the display is free of all taints which can blur or minimize the quality of previews. Every shot is also previewed with a GUI display making use of advanced and intuitive icons.

The camera also earns some credits with its ultra-sleek design. It is now easier to hold, tuck in the pocket or purse. No bulky design means you can take it practically everywhere and handle it for long hours without aches or inconvenience. It can be held without much effort and will easily handled under all conditions.

The S210 advanced shooting technology is typified in the crystal clear images produced by the 3x Zoom-NIKKOR. Picture takers can now say goodbye to fuzzy images rendered by poor lighting and improper exposures. All that is gone now with the superfluous ISO 2000 light sensitivity standard.

The camera features the Electronic VR image stabilization which assures stable and crispy pictures when shooting moving objects. Sports lovers will shoot their favorite quarterback or NASCAR car in motion.

The S210 has smooth aluminum body with round edges. It is therefore easy to hold and manage. It has big controls and a user-friendly display for functions. Beginners and professionals will find the multi selector knob a delightful and convenient feature to use.

The Coolpix S210 is packed with innovations. It comes with an anti-reflection coating so no matter how you turn the LCD display or how bright the surrounding, each angle will show clear and bright pictures.

The Coolpix S210 however lacks a battery indicator. You cannot find out how much you have left so you can plan your shots accordingly. Again, the design could be better with the flash directly above the viewfinder and not by the side. The metal case is also too smooth, making it slippery in moist hands.
