Conclusion
Succeeding a very popular Coolpix digital camera is the Nikon S7c, which replaces the S6 with its introduction in September. The 7.1-megapixel digital camera has wireless connectivity like its predecessor but adds the new Nikon Connect function that streamlines the emailing process straight from the camera body. The body itself is slim and sleek and consistent with the sexy metallic design we’ve seen in previous S-series cameras. The S7c has an internal 3x optical zoom lens that isn’t very impressive and a 3-inch LCD screen that is very impressive. With this camera, it looks like much of the features will be this way: you win some, you lose some. Users will enjoy the ultra-slim camera and its portability, but will curse it when their fingers ache from pushing around the zoom control. Users will enjoy getting proper exposures in low light with the new higher ISO sensitivities, but will be disappointed when they print the pictures and they’re speckled. The Nikon Coolpix S7c retails for $349 and will most likely be another popular sell for Nikon with its trendy form, WiFi connectivity, and Pictmotion shows.

    Panasonic Lumix FZ150

    Excellent image quality, speedy performance, and a great design add up to the best superzoom that has ever graced our labs. That distinction seems to change hands every week, but trust us when we say that the FZ150 is a truly great camera. Read full 16-part review

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
