Nikon Coolpix S630 Digital Camera (Ruby Red)
Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included. Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
The Nikon Coolpix S630 Digital Camera (Ruby Red) provides images with up to 12.0 megapixel of resolution and incorporates a remarkable 7x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens in a surprisingly slim camera body that is quality-crafted in aluminum, and delivers high performance and ease-of-operation in a package that you can easily carry around with you at all times.
Nikon's exclusive 4-way VR Image Stabilization technology utilizes sensor-shift Optical Image Stabilization, along with the cameras high sensitivity equivalent of ISO 6400, Motion Detection, and the exclusive Best Shot Selector (BSS), to ensure that your photos will always look great - regardless of lighting conditions or subject movement. And Nikon's Smart Portrait System ensures beautiful portrait and people shots by combining Nikon's innovative smile mode, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, D-Lighting, and Face Priority AF technologies. 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. The camera also boasts improved menu displays, as well as revised menu icons that will make framing photos easier than ever before.
- 12.0 Megapixel Resolution
- With 12.0 million pixels of image information, the Nikon Coolpix S630 can produce stunning, photo quality prints up to 20 x 30" without any loss of image quality.
- 7x Optical Zoom Lens
- The Zoom Nikkor Lens incorporates exclusive ED lens elements and provides an impressive 7x optical zoom (37-260mm equivalent), that is ideal for shooting everything from sporting events, to architectural details, to sweeping landscapes, while the Macro capability lets you get as close as 0.8" to your subject.
- 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 Motion Detection system helps to further compensate for subject motion and Nikon's exclusive Best Shot Selector ensures that your images will always be sharp and crisp.
- Movie and Voice Recording
- Shoot Broadcast quality QuickTime movies with sound with VGA resolution at 30 frames per second at a length that is only limited by the available space on the internal memory or your SD memory card.
- Light Sensitivity up to ISO 6400
- High light sensitivity up to ISO 6400 allows you to tackle scenes and situations that many compact cameras cannot, with the power to capture fast-moving objects with outstanding clarity and gives you great exposures in lower light.
- 16 Scene Modes with Scene Auto Selector
- 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
- Built-in and Expandable Memory
- The camera includes 44MB of built-in memory so you can begin taking shots immediately without having to purchase a memory card, and the memory capacity can be expanded dramatically with Secure Digital (SD/SDHC) memory cards.
- Bright 2.7-inch LCD
- The Coolpix S630 is equipped with a bright 2.7" LCD that is great for viewing images anywhere, anytime. The impressive 170 degree wide viewing angle makes it easier for everyone to see and enjoy images.
- Print or Show Pictures
- You can send images directly to print, without the need of a PC, when using PictBridge compatible printers, or connect directly to your TV for family slide shows and presentations.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S630 Digital Camera (Ruby Red):
I bought this camera to have with me when I want to take some pictures but don't want to lug a larger camera around. It has excellant low light performance and the 7x zoom gives me plenty of range. I am using this camera more often than I thought I would. I recently shot a H.S. graduation party with it and everyone, including me, were impressed with the quality of the pics.

After reading about the new S630, bought one for my girlfriend and it's all that they claim it to be. It handles beautifully, zoom is nice and smooth and color is right on.
Very user friendly, she had all the features down pat in just a short time.
