Thread: Nikon Coolpix S8

Main Features:
Combining 7.1 effective megapixels of imaging performance with a 35 - 105mm (35mm equivalent) Zoom-Nikkor ED lens, the COOLPIX S8 can capture everything from wide-open landscapes to tight portraits with outstanding clarity and true-to-life color. And because it features a large and bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor with an unusually wide 170-degree viewing angle, it realizes smoother composition and high-quality playback anywhere. What s more, the COOLPIX S8 offers e-VR and other Vibration Reduction capabilities that can compensate for camera shake and unsteady subjects to realize sharper, clearer results.
