Nikon Coolpix S210 Review Discussion

[Jim Keenan]

Looking over the press release for the new Nikon Coolpix S210 compact digital, words like "slim, elegant camera design," "quality-crafted aluminum body," "high performance," "ease of operation," "affordable," and "array of color options" jump out of the text.

Thanks for the the review.

Hi April77 -
J. Keenan may jump in on this at some point, but I'd draw your attention to his assessment under the "Image Stabilization" section:

"Overall, while eVR is certainly preferable to ISO ramping digital image stabilization systems, its hybrid nature makes it somewhat less effective than true optical/mechanical image stabilization."

Hope this helps,
