Conclusion

Nikon had a cool thought with the Coolpix S70 by putting an OLED on it rather than the super common LCD. The OLED screen gives you a huge advantage in bright light situations but it isn’t better when you rate the resolution. Something that is also unique about the Coolpix S70 is that it’s OLED screen is touch screen enabled.

The thought of using a touchscreen show isn’t that new but still new to most people who don’t pay attention to that sort of thing. The touchscreen on the Nikon is the only button on the back of the S70 which isn’t excellent because with the touchscreen we experienced iffy performance.

The Nikon Coolpix S70 features lots of fun things that are sweet appealing and would be cause to buy any other camera but the negatives just outweigh the positives. The S70 looks fantastic and is slim and sleek but it’s just to expensive and the touchscreen technology on it isn’t exactly perfect and the resolution isn’t better than the other cameras in the price range of $250-300.

Pros:

Small and portable design Looks excellent HD video capable OLED viewfinder/show a excellent thought and saves power Touch Shutter

Cons:

Image quality is questionable at times Faulty touchscreen Over-exposed pictures OLED doesn’t have high resolution
