The Nikon Coolpix S8 is a slim, stylish
compact digital camera with 7.1MP resolution,
a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor ED lens, and a large
2.5-in. LCD monitor with high resolution (230,000
pixels).
The Nikon S8 accepts the Secure Digital (SD)
card and has about 14MB of Internal Memory. One-Touch
Portrait Button automatically activates In-Camera
Red-Eye Fix(TM) and Face-Priority AF.
Pictmotion allows the creation of in-camera slide
shows with music. Included in the box is a rechargeable
EN-EL8 battery (that takes up to 200 pictures
on a single charge) and Docking Station.
A High Sensitivity mode automatically adjusts
the sensivity (up to ISO 1600) to make it easier
to shoot in low light.
Nikon In-Camera Innovations in the Coolpix S8:
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix(TM) automatically fixes
most instances of red-eye in the camera; Face-Priority
AF is Nikon's face-finding technology that automatically
focuses on faces; and, D-Lighting rescues dark
or backlit images by improving brightness and
detail where needed.
The Nikon Coolpix S8 should appeal to
point-and-shoot photographers desiring an easy-to-use
compact digital camera. [The Nikon S8 seems to
be available only to the Canadian market.]
