Abstract: Here is another compact ultra-zoom designed to appeal consumers by packing a 10X stabilized optical zoom lens into a compact body. While the Nikon Coolpix S10 manages to do so, it does it with very poor ergonomics which make using it rather frustratin...
Swivel lens allows odd-angle shots, good image quality, 10X optical zoom lens, good image stabilization, unique-looking camera
Initial cost is a little high, using a swivel camera takes some practice, shutter lag and shot-to-shot delays can be problematic
Segmented digital cameras that allow the lens to swivel separately from the body have always been able to capture the attention of customers. Swiveling lens digital cameras look cool and allow you to easily make odd-angle shots. Nikon was among the fi...
Abstract: Nikon continues the swiveling lens design that made the Coolpix cameras legendary. It all started with the Coolpix 900, one of the first cameras we ever reviewed back in 1998 and continued until 2002 with the Coolpix 4500 which Nikon said would be the ...
It looks like a blast from the past, and sure enough the Nikon Coolpix S10 struggles to match the performance of similarly priced compacts today. Its not awful but its far from great, and, in the final analysis if Id spent £300 on the Nikon S10, af...
2.5 inch LCD screen, joystick style 4 way multicontroller, very good image quality,
Like many recent Nikon P&S digicams the S10’s LCD screen is essentially useless in outdoor light and the tiny zoom switch isn’t very precise,
The Nikon Coolpix S10 is a bit over-priced; it’s menu driven/non-intuitive and there are a couple of irritating design glitches, but it is not a bad camera. If it had been introduced two years ago it would have absolutely skunked the competition - to...
Unique twisting body design brings real creative versatility, Very compact for a 10x zoom, Decent resolution and fairly good detail capture at lower ISO settings, Relatively natural looking output - not over contrasty or over saturated, Simple point and s...
Slow focus (hunting) at longer focal lengths, in macro mode and in low light, Some focus errors at long end of zoom and in macro mode, Large screen and lack of grip makes for rather poor handling, Too easy to accidentally knock the joystick and bring up m...
The Coolpix S10 follows in the footsteps of some of the most highly-rated compact cameras in digital photographys short history. I still remember reviewing the original Coolpix 900, a camera that quite literally set the standard by which all digital ...
Good image quality, 10X stabilized zoom, Excellent light metering, Excellent colour rendition, High definition 25inch LCD monitor, Easy to use, Body design allows for excellent flexibility in framing shots, Very compact
Relatively sensitive to noise past 100 ISO, Compression a bit too strong at the highest image quality, Wide angle barrel distortion when the subject is close by
The Coolpix S10 is the first Nikon compact camera to be equipped with a stabilized 10X optical zoom using the VR (Vibration Reduction) system. Retaining the overall design of the previous model, the S10s body is composed of two sections that pivot aro...
Abstract: The S10 has a 2.5” LCD and takes 6.0 megapixel photos, plus it has an Advanced Vibration Reduction feature (that’s image stabilisation to you and me) and sensitivity up to ISO 800.

Not much room for the right hand to grip
Small zoom lever
Awkward lens cap
Vertical flash next to lens on swivel design
EV adjustment hidden in menu system
No Manual, Aperture Priority, or Shutter Priority mode

Shooting with the Nikon Coolpix S10 was fun. The camera never got in the way, and often deftly avoided obstacles that would cause other camera designs to miss the shot. Ive used a swivel Coolpix since 1998, getting shots I otherwise wouldnt see. You ...
