G-Spot: Nikon Coolpix S230

This ultra compact touch screen camera is perfect for a night out on the town.

Features
Let’s skip the basics and go straight to the cool stuff. This point-and-shoot camera has a Smart Portrait System, which automatically reduces red-eye before saving the image. It can detect up to 12 smiling faces and has a blink proof function.

The Panorama Assist is perfect for taking wide angle shoots.

The S230 is also equipped with electronic vibration reduction (VR) imaging, which means you can take photos-on-the-go.

The large touch screen display reduces most of the confusing buttons other cameras have.

Design
The S230 has a brushed aluminum finish that’s available in three colours (gloss red, purple, and black).The gloss red looks more like magenta and the black is the closest to a unisex colour.

At 3.6 x 2.3 x 0.8 inches and 4.1 oz (about as wide as a credit card), the S230 can fit almost anywhere. From a pocket to a purse, the S230’s size and light weight is great to bring to any function.

Usability
The S230’s 10.2 megapixel image quality is great at capturing colour and light and can certainly take clean shots.

It has a slightly slower shooting speed, but its straightforward touch-screen functions and price value, $239.95 CAD, make this a great buy.
