With touchscreen becoming more user-friendly and more commonplace in pocket devices, it is no surprise to see it has pushed heavily into the compact camera market. The Nikon Coolpix S230 is one such device, sitting at the lower end of Nikon’s offerings and as such, should appeal to those looking for a good quality point and shoot.
The dimensions play to this role, stuffing a range of features we’ll look at presently, into a package that measures only 91 x 57 x 20mm, so slips easily into the pocket of your jeans or a bag. This is accompanied with the high quality of build that we’ve come to expect from Nikon: the body doesn’t creak or flex and the battery and AV out covers stay put. An SD card slots into the bottom (not supplied) to store your images as there is only 44MB of internal memory.
The back is dominated by a 3-inch touch-enabled display, but you still get two buttons on the back for scene selection and playback. The top of the S230 sees the shutter button encircled by the zoom ring, sitting next to the recessed power button, which will ably resist accidental power-ons whilst in your pocket. The screen has an anti-glare coating on it, which does (literally) take the gloss off things: you can still use it in bright conditions, but the display isn’t the sharpest around.
