Nikon has announced the new Nikon COOLPIX S70 along with the S640 and S570. The S70 seems to be having all the features of S640 and S570. With the S70, Nikon seems to have preempted competition from Samsung’s “Tap and Take” cameras to be announced on August 13.
The S70 comes with a 3.7″ wide OLED screen, with 288 KP resolution that is touch responsive in operation and is capacitive in design. But the difference between the S70 and its other two cousins is the touch enabled shutter release mechanism which you may find in 
the coming Samsung cameras. The S70 comes with the same Image Stabilisation as the S640 and has all the scene modes of S570 including the automatic scene selection by the camera.
The form and the look of the S70 also seem to have been given a retouch with multiple shades of color.
You would like to check out the parameters like HD resolution and scene selection and performance in low light along with noise parameters once the reviews are out.
The S70 is likely to be available at $400.

Compared to the S230 the S570 also seems to have designed for night land scape. You can always check out on the performance of the S570 in low light conditions once the reviews are out. While the S640 is packed with image stabilization features the S570 seems to have electronic VR, Vibration Reduction meaning the lens may not be optically stabilized.

one that has the best focus. The other two include shooting at High ISO with fast shutter speed and detecting motion and compensating for ISO and shutter Speed and camera shake.

Then for portraits there are features like detecting a smile and correcting for blink, automatically detecting up to 12 faces for AF and refocusing on a moving subject especially tracking children, if he goes out of the camera range and comes back with in 3 seconds.
