Nikon Coolpix S620 Digital Camera Review

Nikon Coolpix S620

First Impressions Review

The S620 is part of Nikon's Coolpix Style series, which also includes the recently announced S630, S230, and S220 models. The camera has 12-megapixel image capability and a 4x optical zoom all tucked into a slim, sleek design. The camera is also available in a variety of colors. Style and design aside, the S620 is also a decent little camera, although it definitely isn't for people who want access to manual controls. The Nikon S620 is available now with an MSRP of $270.

Conclusion
 

The Nikon S620 is definitely an impressive looking camera. It has a fashionable design, comes in a variety of colors, and is very slim and portable. It also feels comfortable in the hand and is well-built for the most part. Of course, that's not what most people buy cameras for, so the final judgment on this model will have to wait until we can test its image quality in our labs). The camera looks promising, however, and it may be a decent choice for consumers looking for a snazzy point-and-shoot that can go with them anywhere.
 

The S620 is available now and retails for around $270.
