Key Features

9.0 Megapixels for stunning prints as large as 16 x 20 inches. Plenty of sharp resolution to capture the finest details, crop creatively and produce incredible enlargements.

New EXPEED Image Processor ensures high-quality pictures with stunning color and sharpness. Nikon's comprehensive digital imaging processing concept incorporates the know-how and the technologies acquired throughout our long history of photographic and digital imaging development. EXPEED is customer-tuned for COOLPIX and renders natural-looking pictures of incredible quality and quick response so you won't miss that special moment.

Huge, Bright 3.0-inch High-Resolution LCD offers 170° wide-angle of view making it easy to compose shots and play them back anywhere. The ultra-wide 170° viewing angle makes it easy for you to share your pictures with everyone at once. In addition, the high-contrast and anti-reflection coating on the screen assist in clear viewing, even in direct sunlight.

Auto adjusts up to ISO 3200 making new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking pictures in lower light conditions.

Nikon Image Innovations include: In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™, which will automatically look for and fix most instances of red-eye; Face Priority AF is Nikon's face-finding technology that can quickly find and focus on up to five faces in a group portrait; and D-Lighting will rescue those pictures that are too dark for printing by enhancing the underexposed areas of the picture while not touching the properly exposed areas.

High-Quality TV Movies with Sound are now just a press of a button away with your COOLPIX. Record TV-quality movies with sound whose duration is only limited by the available space on your SD/SDHC card. Connect your camera to your TV and you have instant home movies.

3x Optical Zoom-NIKKOR (38-114mm) Lens provides exceptional pictures. This lens is built on Nikon's proud heritage of producting precision camera optics that deliver superb color and razor-sharp results.

Optical Vibration Reduction Image Stabilization compensates for camera shake to prevent blur and produce clearer, sharper results in lower light or unsteady conditions. In addition, the benefit of Nikon's VR system extends to faster framing on the moniter and smoother action in the S52's movie mode

Slim, Stylish All-Metal Design slips right into your shirt pocket or purse! Not only is the camera easy to carry around, it is great to be seen with. Nikon's beautiful wave-surface design and sweeping lines make it the camera that takes great pictures, and looks great doing it!

One-Touch Portrait Button automatically activates In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™ and Face Priority AF to create stunning portraits. There is no more fumbling through menus or worriyng about pressing the wrong button. With the One-Touch Portrait Button on the top of the camera, it's as easy as a single press of one button to get a great portrait—without red-eye.
