'all the exposures seem brighter, regardless of metering setting, then they were with the D300.'
'Well-made.'
'lovely, vivid images'
'The button layout is extremely similar to what was used on the D300, so anyone familiar with that camera should have a relatively easy time learning the control interface on the D300S.'
'we found the Delete button a little difficult to reach'
'I wasn't terribly impressed with Nikon's version of face detection -- at best I got it to recognize one face in the photo I've been using as a test lately.'
'unique twist lens design'
'a point and shoot digital camera without any really tricky features to confuse you.'
'The camera also preserves the original image so you aren't stuck with the altered result if you don't like it'
'6 megapixel Coolpix S4'
'The twopart design still takes a little getting used to, at least until you realise that holding the screen steady and moving the lens assembly gives the most workable configuration.'
'with its only average performance and handling, this product will struggle against similarly priced and specced offerings'
'It has less zoom, fewer manual controls, and poorer performance than most of the competition, making it a tough camera to recommend enthusiastically.'
'the image was somewhat dull, with a cold, cyanic cast.'
'The key controls are easy to get to, with sensitivity, white balance and image size/quality accessed directly from the mode dial.'
'the Coolpix 8800 forces you to take the additional step of setting the camera to one of its continuous shooting modes--or (if you don't switch to continuous mode) to press the shutter three to five times for a complete bracket.'
'the ISO 400 image is quite noisy, with a lot of missing detail.'
'The Nikon Coolpix 8800 has very impressive specifications.'
