Nikon Coolpix S640 review
The Nikon Coolpix S640 is the latest compact digital camera from this popular manufacturer, with its main selling point being speed.
In fact, Nikon claims that the S640 boasts the fastest start-up time in its class (0.7 seconds). Ultra-fast autofocus and a short shutter-release time lag add to the camera’s speedy performance.
Another main selling point is the inclusion of Nikon’s proprietary Clear Colour Display technology in the 2.7-inch LCD screen, which helps reduce reflection and increase visibility when you’re shooting in direct sunlight or other bright conditions. 5x optical zoom and a wide-angle 28mm lens also weigh in on the plus side.
The rest of the package isn’t really anything out of the ordinary for a compact digicam in this price range. You get a 12.2-megapixel sensor with maximum sensitivity of ISO 6400, 5x optical zoom and 45MB of internal memory, expandable by SD or SDHC cards. While there are two movie modes, unfortunately there’s no HD shooting.
The Australian recommended retail price of the Nikon Coolpix S640 is $499.
