Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Magenta)
The Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Magenta) provides images with up to 10.0 megapixel of resolution, and a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens for incredibly sharp and detailed images. While the addition of Nikon's 4-way VR Image Stabilization technology that includes a sensitivity equivalent of ISO 2000, Motion Detection, and the exclusive Best Shot Selector (BSS) ensures that your photos will always look great - regardless of lighting conditions or subject movement. And all of these features are mediated by Nikon's innovative EXPEED image processing system which provides enhanced noise reduction and improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Furthermore, the cameras slim, quality-crafted aluminum body delivers high performance and ease-of-operation in a package that you can carry around with you - always.
Nikon's Smart Portrait System ensures beautiful portrait and people shots by combining Nikon's innovative smile mode that automatically releases the camera shutter at the moment that your subject smiles, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix which automatically detects and corrects for red eye, D-Lighting which compensates for excessive backlight or insufficient flash in images, and Face Priority AF which automatically finds and focuses on up to 12 people's faces within one frame. Furthermore, the S220 includes Nikon's Coolpix Software Suite for organizing, editing and sharing your photos.
The back of this slim camera is dominated by a bright, high resolution 2.5-inch LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle and anti-reflective coating that provides for easy composition and viewing of photos even in direct sunlight, and an acrylic panel over the LCD prevents damaging scratches and fingerprints. The camera also boasts improved menu displays, as well as revised menu icons that will make framing photos easier than ever before.

Bought Camera due to exceptional experience with one of the first cool pic bought years ago.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Magenta):
This is a great camera for a beginning photographer or someone who just wants a tiny digital camera for their purse, etc. It's thin, stylish looking and very simple to use.Picture quality, however, leaves alot to be desired. Pictures are grainy, exposures very unpredictable. In addition, the display is also very grainy and poor quality.For an average price [$], it's reasonable but if you're looking for quality, you'll be disappointed.
Pros
- Bright LCD
- Comfortable Controls
- Easy Setup
- Easy to Keep Clean
- Easy To Use
- Great Picture Quality
- Strong Construction
Cons

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Magenta):
This camera is easy to use, takes great photos and fits in your pocket. Only downfalls battery related. No warning of battery exhaustion in advance, battery charger is separate device. Would recommend buying second battery so you always have a charged spare.
