Votre avis :

Nikon’s second touchscreen camera is lightweight, affordable, and ideal for casual shooters.

The Nikon CoolPix S230 is attractively designed, and it is certainly well made, but the trendy touch-screen interface can’t hide the fact that this is actually a very average camera. It suffers from slow performance, a very limited range of features including lacklustre zoom range and surprisingly poor lens quality, especially considering its relatively high price.

The Nikon CoolPix S230 is an impressive compact camera that ticks every box on the casual photographer’s wish-list. With that being said, the cheaper Nikon CoolPix S220 offers an identical imaging performance, albeit without a swanky touch screen.

One point we shouldn’t overlook when talking about touchscreen devices is battery life. Nikon rate it at 160 shots, however you’ll probably not reach this number once you take into account all the extra viewing and playing around. We did get over 100 shots from a full charge however, using a typical mix of flash and playback. It performs better than some cameras in this space, whilst still being compact. If you need better battery life, then losing the touchscreen and opting for the Coolpix S220 will perhaps suit better.

But when all is said and done, the Nikon S230 is an easy to use compact camera that delivers relatively good results without getting too expensive. The screen is responsive and functions are not over-complicated, so it should appeal to happy snappers looking for a touchscreen compact for everyday use.
