Nikon Coolpix S3 Details

Editors' Comments

More than just a pretty face, the Nikon S3 has a lot to offer the substance conscious photographer who likes to have some fun. The Nikon Coolpix S3 is the kind of ultracompact that can give you what you need in a camera and also make your friends jealous. The tiny profile and feather weight make it perfect for situations where you want to have a camera on you, but not look like you have a camera on you. The 6 megapixel shooter slides into your pocket unobtrusively, ready to snap away at a moment's notice. The Coolpix S3 is available in the always stylish colors of ivory white, matte black, and platinum silver.
