Review

March 2008, COOLPIX S510 Review

by Mike Pasini

Imaging-Resource's Mike Pasini called the Nikon COOLPIX S510 an easy-to-use and well-designed compact digital camera. Pasini marveled at the S510's portability and stressed how easy it was to put into a shirt or coat pocket and bring along to all types of functions and events. Additionally, he was impressed with the versatile S510's quick start-up time and its combination of high-ISO sensitivity and lens with vibration reduction technology which helps take photos in low-light settings without always using the flash. He later concluded that the S510's user interface was easy to use and well organized.
