Cool Pix S70 Views
The Nikon Coolpix S70 is an impressive leap forward in design and functionality from its predecessor, the S60. That camera, while it had an excellent design, had a touch-screen LCD that was occasionally frustrating to use; that's not great considering its operation was nearly all touch-based. The S70's OLED screen is not only bright and beautiful, but also very responsive, allowing for a few cool new features along with improvements to older ones.

The Nikon Coolpix S70 is an impressive leap forward in design and functionality from its predecessor, the S60. That camera, while it had an excellent design, had a touch-screen LCD that was occasionally frustrating to use; that's not great considering its operation was nearly all touch-based. The S70's OLED screen is not only bright and beautiful, but also very responsive, allowing for a few cool new features along with improvements to older ones. It's a little slow for shooting much more than portraits and landscapes, and its photos are merely very good for a point-and-shoot--which is hard to swallow given its price. But if you love having a touch screen and don't mind paying for it, the S70 is a lot of fun.
Summary: I've owned a bunch of pocket digital cameras, Olympus, Canon, Fuji etc. but my Nikon Coolpix S70 is the slickest. It has ALL the great editing features and light/event settings you could want. The screen is among the biggest on the market and who needs more than 12 megapixels for personal photography. Just remember to keep your fingers out of the lens while shooting. If you have ginormous hands don't buy this camera. Otherwise, you will get used to placing your hands out of the way.
