FotoArt reviews the Nikon Coolpix S3 Scuba Diving Camera

Amsterdam, September 1st, 2005. Nikon has given the stylish COOLPIX range a makeover with the launch of its sexy, sassy S3 compact digital camera in Platinum silver, Ivory white and Matt black. Sales start in September 2005 at a price of xxx Euro.*

The COOLPIX S3 is sleek and hip, with a stunning performance to match its incredible looks, making it ideal for people who want to take pictures anytime, anywhere. It packs 6 megapixels into its slim 19.7mm deep frame, a large, bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor and a powerful 35-105mm 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens.

…………

Using a single rechargeable EN-EL8 battery, the COOLPIX S3 can take up to 190 shots. It starts up in less than a second and can perform continuous shooting at 1.6 frames per second.

Point and shoot even underwater. The COOLPIX S3 has 17 Scene Modes - four with Scene Assist - including an Underwater Scene Mode, which means users can take photographs while snorkeling or scuba diving. All it needs is the handy optional Waterproof Case WP-CP5.
