Nikon Coolpix S710 First Digital Camera Impressions Review
Previous:
IntroductionNext: Page 2
ComponentsThe Nikon S710 is not the smallest or thinnest camera, at around an inch thick. But it's not that chunky, as it would fit nicely into a coat pocket or small bag. Just don't expect to put it in your skinny jeans and keep your svelte profile.
Front
The front of the S710 is dominated by the lens, which telescopes out of the camera body in two sections. The other interesting points here include the microphone (located to the left of the lens, under the three small holes), the self-timer lamp, the IR illuminator and the small, thin flash.

Back
The major feature of the back of the S710 is the 3-inch LCD screen, which has about 230,000 pixels. To the right of the screen are the controls; from the top down we have the zoom control, the flash indicator, the mode and playback buttons, the rotary multi-select and the memory and delete buttons. The rotary multi-select combines a scroll wheel with a 4-way controller, offering two types of control in one convenient place.

The left side of the camera has no
major features
The right side offers one important
connector, to the wrist strap.
The top of the S710 has a few significant features; the on/off button (with a small LED light to the left of it) and the shutter button. The zoom control is on the rear of the camera.
The top of the S710 is where the on/off button and the
shutter button call home.
The bottom of the S710 is where the cover for the battery and media card port is located, as well as the tripod socket and the cover over the small USB port.
The bottom is the home to the battery and memory card cavity
plus the USB and A/V port
