"The CoolPix S230 is a new 10-megapixel ultra-compact with a 3x zoom lens, and that touch-screen monitor has a large 3-inch 230k screen...Thanks to the current popularity of PDAs and Smartphone, touch-screen technology has improved considerably over the past few years, and the screen on the S230 does work very well...For a camera that relies so heavily upon the quality of its monitor this is obviously a fairly serious handicap, especially for anyone thinking of buying an S230 for their summer holiday snaps..." read more »

"Zippy, well executed touch-screen interface; great tap-and-shoot feature; attention-getting design....Leisurely performance; battery charging done in camera might bother some; tricky to hold....Select Touch Shutter from the menu and you can tap on your subject and the S70 will focus and shoot...Since the entire back is the screen it can be somewhat tricky to get a good grip on the S70...Performance for the S70 is below average for an ultracompact at its price......" read more »

"Great Looks/Build Solid consumer-driven features Easy-to-use interface Great Color reproduction/AWB...ISO performance inadequate Lacks manual features...Nikon's garnered quite a reputation for manufacturing commendable ultra compacts, and it continues to impress with the Nikon S630...This sexy devil comes with a gray metallic finish shell with an impressive raw metal polish...Besides the buttons, there's a 2.7-inch LCD screen that displays 230,000 pixels,..." read more »

"Relatively speedy; tiltable LCD; two custom settings slots on mode dial....Subpar photo quality; poor battery life....With the exception of the improved LCD and some changes on the mode dial, the P90's body doesn't differ much from the P80...In addition to matrix, center-weighted, and spot metering, the P90 offers spot-AF area for use with the AF-area modes...The LCD is pretty good, it has a wide viewing angle and doesn't wash out in direct sunlight...Comparing..." read more »
