Nikon's Coolpix S4100 Digital Camera (Black) has everything you need in a compact camera, all beautifully contained in a stylish little pocketable package less than 1" thick, and weighing in at 4.7 oz (131 g). Start with a serious 14MP CCD sensor for great image quality, add a sharp 5x wide-angle Nikkor 26-130mm (equivalent in 35mm format) lens and a brilliant 3" LCD touch screen monitor with 460K-dot resolution--you can focus by just touching a point on the screen.

The S4100 isn't just another pretty face, either--it's got one-touch 720p HD video, 4-way VR image stabilization to banish blurry pictures forever, sensitivity up to 3200 ISO that lets you keep shooting even when it gets dark, Subject Tracking Autofocus that locks onto a moving subject to keep it in focus at all times, and a Macro mode that produces fantastic pictures by focusing as close as 4" from the lens.

The Smart Portrait System makes every person you photograph look good, by automatically capturing a smile, warning you when someone blinks in a picture, automatically correcting red-eye and smoothing out wrinkles and blemishes on faces. There are 20 scene modes, including Pet Portrait, Night Landscape, Sports, Party/Indoor, Sunset, and lots more.  This is a camera that's easy to live with, and will always treat you right.

Or, you can opt for playback on your TV or computer.
First It Turns Heads … Then It Shoots Their Pictures.

Hassle-Free Nikon Technology Produces Great Shots Every Time
Imagine an affordable, compact camera that's also smart enough to automatically correct for camera shake, take a series of shots and save only the sharpest ones, or intuitively adjust shutter speed when you're focused on moving objects. The remarkable COOLPIX S4100 does all that and much more. It's equipped with a four-way Electronic VR Image Stabilization system that minimizes blurred images. Its Motion Detection identifies moving objects and adjusts both shutter speed and ISO to create optimal settings to achieve the best picture.With the COOLPIX S4100, Nikon has thought of everything. When you're shooting in low-light, you're sure to get optimum results with high ISO speeds up to 3200. For both still images and movies that are sharp and clear, count on EXPEED C2 to heighten fine detail and image quality-and do it all with exceptional processing speed.

      I purchased this camera for every day use. I carry it with me at work in my shirt pocket to document incidents as they occur. I have had a S50 in the past and it wore out after 3 years and I've been very happpy with it. This version has a lens that extends and retracts. This feature quit working after a few days.
