The Nikon Coolpix S3000 is a 12 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. The lens has wide angle capabilities. This can come in handy if you enjoy taking photos of wide scenes such as landscapes, interiors or groups of people.

Aside from image stabilisation the set of features Nikon has included for this camera are inline with those you might expect to find on a standard point and shoot digital camera. This helps greatly with ease of use and there is not very much about the Coolpix S3000 that makes it difficult to use. It is likely to appeal to anyone who is looking for a simple, straightforward digital camera that will fit easily into more or less any pocket. It is around 19mm wide.

Nikon has incorporated their portrait system into the Coolpix S3000. This can help you to produce more flattering portraits by softening skin and reducing red eye in photos taken using flash.

If you like the idea of being able to choose your own colour for a digital camera you will be pleased to hear the Coolpix S3000 is available in orange, green, blue, plum, black and champagne silver.
