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.

Nikon has announced its Nikon COOLPIX S570 compact. The S570 has been announced in conjunction with S640. Both the compacts are similar as far as portrait modes and all the features of the S640 exist in the S570.

But the S570 in addition to portraits appears to have been designed for outdoor photographs. It has the EXPEED processor and has 16 scene modes that includes portrait mode and night portrait mode. 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.

Nikon Digital Camera COOLPIX S570 Specifications

Nikon has announces its Nikon Coolpix S640 compact. The S640 appears to be arriving with features and specifications packed in it. As they come to my mind I will lay them out for you and not necessarily in their order of importance

The S640 has a 5 x optical and 4 x digital zoom. The images that the S640 captures range from a minimum resolution of 640 x 480 to 4000 x 3000. I am sure you would like to check the performance at higher resolutions.

The S640 incorporates 4 features for Image Stabilisation that Nikon calls Vibration Reduction. First is the optical stabilization of the lens correcting for pitch and roll. The second is Nikon’s BSS, Best Shot Selector, automatically shoots a series of frames and selects the 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.

Nikon seems to be following the skin toning or smoothening features of the recent spate of compacts, only it makes it automatic. 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.

The Nikon Coolpix S640 will be coming in 5 colors.
