Digital Camera Review

The Nikon Coolpix S7c was announced August 24 and released this month before being shown off at Photokina in Germany. The new digital camera succeeds the popular ultra-slim S6 model and comes with updated wireless technology. This time, the camera stores up to 30 email addresses so users can send pictures directly from the camera. The 7.1-megapixel digital camera has the same wave design as its previous S-siblings and comes with a 3x optical zoom lens with vibration reduction. The Nikon Coolpix S7c retails for $349.

Nikon S7C Digital Camera R...
 
Value
The price of wireless cameras has obviously gone down. Even last year, similar models were selling for $499. Now the Nikon Coolpix S7c is retailing for $349. The S7c has lucrative features like a skinny portable body and its wireless connectivity. It has an interesting one-touch portrait button that accesses cool technology and comes with the usual gamut of automatic and scene modes. At $349, this Coolpix is fairly priced.
 
Who It’s For
Point-and-Shooters – These consumers will love the wave design that allows comfortable storage in a pocket so they can go anywhere and take pictures. They will also appreciate the automated modes and the simple interface.
 
Budget Consumers – For $349, the S7c is a decent price considering it has wireless technology. The camera is ultra-slim and users pay for the convenience too. This is a decent price, but some budget consumers may have to pass up the wireless technology and aim for a similar camera without the frilly WiFi.
 
Gadget Freaks – Gadget freaks will appreciate the time lapse photography and stop-motion movies and will perhaps be intrigued by the wireless technology, but will otherwise be bored with the automated modes and limited settings.
 
Manual Control Freaks – These consumers will shun the Nikon Coolpix S7c because it only allows access to automated modes and offers limited access to manual functions.
 
Pros/ Serious Hobbyists – Not even a glance will be granted from pros or serious hobbyists. The automated options aren’t great, and neither are the pictures.
