Nikon Camera Coolpix S3300
The Nikon Coolpix S3300 was announced in February 2012 as a replacement of the S3200. It is a budget compact camera which has a 16 megapixel sensor, 6x optical zoom and is available in black, blue, purple, red, green pink and silver for £99.99. Its slim body and low cost make it an ideal camera for the casual user who likes to take pics when out with relatives and friends.
The S3300's body is 19.5mm deep, meaning you can basically over it around in your pocket when out and about. There is a 16 megapixel CCD sensor and the 6x optical zoom lens is a 35mm equivalent of 26-156mm. To help counteract camera shake, the S3300 has lens-shift vibration reduction (VR).
Auto mode changes the camera settings automatically depending on the scene. Other shooting modes include 18 scenes and smart portrait method with smirk timer, blink proof, skin softening and red-eye fix. The camera has a 99-point autofocus method and subject tracking AF.
Images can be edited after shooting by the retouch menu, which has a range of filter effects. The S3300 shoots videos at 720p which also allows the use of optical zoom in the coursework of recording.
