The Nikon Coolpix S610 is a powerful, budget-friendly, full-feature camera that packs a lot of punch in its small frame. The S610 is considered the cousin to the very popular but much more expensive S610c, which has a built-in Wi-Fi feature for wirelessly uploading photos to your desktop. If wireless uploading is more than you need, but you still like the in-depth features of the S610c, than the Nikon Coolpix S610 is the camera for you, all at a fraction of the cost.

If you are looking for a camera that has the manual features of a digital SLR and the size of a subcompact point-and-shoot camera then look no further than the Nikon Coolpix S710. The S710 offers some impressive manual controls that include a wide angle lens of 28 mm and sensitivity in the upper range of 3,200 when the resolution is full and ISO 12,800 at 3 megapixel. But perhaps most importantly, the S710 features an astounding high-resolution 14.5-megapixel sensor; a number which even just a few years ago would have been thought impossible. The result is, of course, clearer, crisper, brighter and more precise photos than you would never get from any other camera.

Nikon’s P6000 is a force to be reckoned with. It has a lot of cool features wrapped up into a nice little package. This is definitely the coolest little compact camera you could own. It’s small enough to almost fit in your pocket.

The coolest thing about this compact camera is that it is a 13.5 megapixel! That’s bigger than my D200. That means that you could possibly take a picture suitable to hang on your wall (20×30). Another appreciable fact is that it has the wired LAN connection. You can connect this guy to your cat5 and download your pics to Nikon’s picture town site for 2 gigs of free storage. It even has a GPS system for figuring out where the heck you took that last picture at.
