Good: Compact, stylish design, Multipoint touchscreen, Full HD video with stereo sound and zoom

Bad: Sensitivity could be better, Lens isn't good enough for sharp 8" x 10" prints or for cropping, Slow interface, pinch to zoom doesn't work very well, Crazy LCD colour saturation, Autofocus is fast but not always accurate

Bottomline: The Nikon Coolpix S100 is certainly very different from the S80. However, although the new lens has a proper wide-angle setting, it's just not up to scratch. As a result, Nikon struggles to get the best out of the camera's new sensor. Plus, since the S...

Good: Great looks, Good screen, Wellconsidered interface

Bad: Difficult to hold, Some noise in shots

Bottomline: The Nikon Coolpix S100's performance doesn't quite live up to its looks, and, while this compact camera is packed with features, its price is too high for our liking....

Excerpt: Available in a pair of loud colours, and featuring an eye-catching sliding shutter cover design, the Nikon COOLPIX S100 is certainly pitched at the more style conscious. That isn't to say, however, that substance has gone by the wayside - the S100 in f...

Bottomline: The S100 is packed with full 1080p HD video recording and takes 360°/180° panoramics using the sweep method. On occasion there is some vignetting visible, the battery has a short life expectancy and noise effects image quality from ISO 400. The touch scr...

Bottomline: The new range of compacts from Nikon are certainly shaping up to be some of the most exciting we've seen from them in recent times. Based on looks alone, the S100 should be a pretty basic model with mediocre functions and performance results. But what...

Excerpt: Mit der Coolpix S100 bringt Nikon eine Digitalkamera auf den Markt, die dank kleiner Maße in fast jede (Hosen-)Tasche passt und deshalb als ständiger Begleiter geeignet ist. Damit konkurriert sie mit anderen kompakten Geräten wie etwa der Cybershot DSC...

Bottomline: Die Nikon Coolpix S100 ist eine einfache Kamera mit aktueller Touchscreen-Technik, die prima aussieht und zuverlässig funktioniert. Bei der Bildqualität ist allerdings noch viel Luft nach oben....

Good: gelungene Bildqualität, sinnvolles Bedienkonzept, gute Ausstattung, scharfer Touchscreen, ordentliche Verarbeitung, ansprechendes Design

Bad: Rauschen setzt früh ein, mangelhafte Ergonomie, Steuerung mit Handschuhen nicht möglich

Bottomline: Insgesamt ist der Schritt ins Touchscreen-Zeitalter gelungen: Die Nikon Coolpix S100 sieht gut aus und produziert auch vernünftige Bilder. Der Preis des Ganzen ist allerdings eine verbesserungswürdige Gehäuseergonomie....

Good: Style ultracompact et élégance du boîtier, Écran tactile multipoints, Vidéo Full HD avec son stéréo et zoom.

Bad: Sensibilité en retrait des meilleurs, Qualité optique insuffisante pour un tirage 20x27 cm ou pour recadrer, Interface peu réactive, zoom à deux doigts aléatoire, Saturation délirante de l'affichage, Autofocus ultrarapide, mais pas ultraprécis.

Bottomline: Le S100 est une refonte radicale du précédent modèle. Las, l'objectif utilisé, s'il a enfin un vrai grand-angle, est de qualité insuffisante, et Nikon peine à profiter pleinement des qualités du capteur. L'interface n'ayant pas évolué, le S100 n'est au...
