Next up in the new Coolpix models which Nikon has recently introduced is the S710 digital camera featuring an effective 14.5-megapixel CCD sensor with 3.6x optical zoom which can cover a wide-angle 28mm. This ultra-compact Nikon camera also boasts of four exposure modes (P/S/A/M) which give you full control of the camera’s settings. But if manual operation is not your thing, you could also use the S710’s scene auto selector feature.

Additionally, the S710 also has four anti-blur features which give you sharp images even when taking photos of moving subjects and these are the lens-shift Vibration Reduction, ISO sensitivity range of up to 12800, Best Shot Selector and Motion Detection.

The S610c complies with WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup which secures internet connectivity to Wi-Fi routers.

Both cameras offer easy operations and a first time feature called Scene Auto Selector which automatically selects portrait, landscape, night setting or close up mode depending on the environment. Aside from this, the S610 and S610c also features Active Child Mode and Smile Mode settings.
