 The Design

One of the first things that you will notice about the Nikon Coolpix S2800 is that its quite small and could easily fit in a top shirt pocket, hand bag or where ever else you may choose to store it. The lens has an automatic shutter cover that will extend and open when the device is powered on and ready to use. There is also a dedicated LCD screen for cycling through the cameras options and previewing your shots, the general button placement is intuitive and you should have no issue finding your way around especially if you have used a point and shoot digital camera before which is great in terms of a hassle free experience.

 The Picture Quality

Point and Shoot Digital Camera

The pictures taken by the camera are very sharp and vivid with lots of detail which makes it the perfect carry along for a vacation trip where you don’t want a big camera that will get in the way. The 20.1 Megapixel sensor on this camera is not for show and it does a marvelous job of taking pictures that really captures the essence of a moment. Even with fast-moving subjects you will have no problem getting a good shot approximately 90% of the time.

Point and Shoot Digital Camera

The Value of this point and shoot camera cannot be denied as a value that’s too good to pass up at the price point that gives you great pictures with stunning detail in a small form factor that will have you hardly ever noticing this camera as you go along your day. A simple word of advice make sure to keep the camera lens clean as if after a while you notice a change in the quailty and clarity of your pics its a simple matter of the lens being smudged or being dirty, but a simple cleaning will have you back on top in no time.
