Furthermore, the S630 includes Nikon's Coolpix Software Suite for organizing, editing and sharing your photos.
The bright, high resolution 2.7-inch LCD monitor provides a wide viewing angle and an anti-reflective coating that allows for easy composition and viewing of photos even in direct sunlight.

- 4-way Optical VR Image Stabilization
- The Optical VR (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization system utilizes a sensor-shift mechanism to compensate for camera shake while the cameras automatically controlled high sensitivity of up to ISO 6400 allows for sharper images when shooting under low light conditions.

- The Coolpix S630 incorporates 16 scene modes that cover some of the more common difficult shooting situations to maximize the image quality. The scene modes automatically adjust focus, exposure, white balance and other settings to make getting a good exposure easy. The Scene Auto selector automatically selects the best fit from 6 commonly used scene modes - making the camera ideal for the quick shooter.
- Sports Continuous Scene Mode
- Shoot up to 20 frames at an incredible rate of 11 fps (3MP resolution or less) so you are guaranteed to catch that ultimate action shot. Combined with the cameras 7x zoom lens, the Sports Continuous Scene Mode makes the Coolpix S630 the ideal camera to take along to all kinds of sporting events.
- Smart Portrait System
- The Smart portrait system combines the functions of several exclusive Nikon technologies to ensure that portraits and group shots will always look their best. These include 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

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S630 Digital Camera (Royal Purple):
This is a great grab and go camera. Clear images on the screen and a wide variety of photo options for those who like to 'play' a little. Good battery life on full charge. I wish it had better zoom qualities, but for quick standard shots, I don't think it can be beat for the price. I use the video portion quite regularly so I also bought the AC adapter as to not stress the battery during playback on TV.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S630 Digital Camera (Royal Purple):
When looking for a pocket size camera that allowed carrying convenience with high quality resolution--luckily we were directed to this model of camera. Fits easily in a shirt pocket! If you're looking for a viewfinder, you'll be out of luck on this camera. However, it does reward you with a long list of features that make taking great pictures a snap. Used predominately by a restricted strength and mobility quadraplegic. No blurry pictures!

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S630 Digital Camera (Royal Purple):
I bought this camera to supplement my SLR. So far I have been pleased with both the quality of the pictures and the ease of use. I haven't tried all of the features yet but it has allowed me to get some great pics at places I wouldn't ordinarily lug my SLR to.
THINGS I LIKE: It has easy to use menu options, it takes great daytime outdoor pics, there isn't a long delay between when I take the picture and when the shutter releases, it is compact and it has a lot of options. I also like that it can share an SD memory card with my Nikon SLR.
THINGS THAT COULD BE BETTER: I have had some trouble with night shots and shots that require flash - although I do admit that this could be user error. I also would have preferred to have the option to take the picture through the viewfinder in addition to using the LCD screen on the back.
