Nikon Coolpix S225 ReviewTrimming all of those technologies found in those full-frame models down to size is very difficult, but the Coolpix series is showing huge signs of potential. These compact digital cameras become more advanced than ever capable of taking higher megapixel photos and observing greater color accuracy. The Nikon S225 is one of the cameras that try to be smaller than the others, but still deliver good results. Nikon Coolpix S225 Camera Design
The design of the Nikon S225 looks very similar to the S220 sold in
other areas.The front layout isn't anything new, but the back end is very minimalistic which should favor people who never used digital cameras before. Unfortunately, the screen size fails to make a huge impression with it just measuring 2.5 inches. Most compact ditigal cameras start at 2.7 inches, but the anti-reflective coating makes it visible even in direct sunlight. Nikon Coolpix S225 Camera Features The Nikon
Coolpix S225 comes with the standard 3x zoom
and the results are fairly good when using it for outdoor
shooting. Its main source of power is the EXPEED Image Processor which can be found in many of the midrange and high-end models. It's capable of achieving great sharpness and color effects for high-quality pictures overall. It is tweaked to blend in well with the COOLPIX series ensuring that shots are speedy so that moments aren't missed. It also has some decent image stabilization features that improve the overall look of the photo in 4 ways. First the Electronic VR Image Stabilization automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed based on the amount of camera shake to still achieve clear and sharp results regardless of conditions. If motion is the main cause of the blur, the Motion Detection kicks in by calculating the same parameters. Low light situations are solved with the High ISO 2000 setting and the Nikon exclusive Best Shot Selector obtains the sharpest photo possible by taking up to 10 shots continuously after the shutter is pressed once and then choosing from there which photo is sharp. Nikon Coolpix S225 Extra FeaturesThe Smart Portrait System is another set of technologies that benefit portrait shooters. The Face-Priority AF is well supported detecting up to 12 faces in a group shot and the Smile Mode captures the right moment.The In-Camera Red-Eye Fix solves the common instance of red eye photos after the shot is taken and the D-lighting does the rest by balancing the brightness and shadow levels based on the picture.  Unlike other cameras, the scene doesn't have to be manually set from a group of scenes because the Scene Auto Selector often does it accurately. The Nikon Coolpix S225 isn't really the most stylish camera around. But it makes up for that with its features, price and quality. With its small format it is well-rounded enough for shooting all types of scenes. Click here to learn more about the Nikon Coolpix S225 Wish to know more about digital photography?
