  • While our test shots were a little disappointing, the compact and well-designed Nikon Coolpix S510 was an immediate hit with me. I packed it along to three trade shows where it caught the action with ease, whether it was a dimly lit ballroom, a close-up o...

  • The Nikon Coolpix S510 makes a rather unexciting entrance into an already dense market of similar cameras with 3x optical zoom lenses and small portable bodies. The Coolpix S510 has some noteworthy qualities, including optical image stabilization and a...

  • Looks good, image quality and detail, VR, Screen, Good pricing, Responsive, Specification.
  • Rotary Multi Selector turns too easily, No optical viewfinder, Image noise, No manual shooting options.
