DPInterface 's conclusion / rating - 04 September 2009 |
“ The Nikon Coolpix S220 is a cheaper, non-touchscreen version of the Coolpix S230. The camera packs the same lens, sensor and most features. Unfortunately, the Coolpix S230 wasn’t flawless, and neither is the Coolpix S220 here.
10 megapixels, 3X optical zoom and a 2.5 inch screen, the Nikon Coolpix S220 has a specifications sheet alike other entry-level digital cameras. The camera has good ergonomics with relatively simple operation – there are no manual controls on this budget camera, neither would I expect any. There are lots of scene modes along with Nikon’s “Smart Portrait” system and auto scene selection, which should please people wanting to take pictures with minimal fuss.
Perhaps the camera was made to be a bit too simple; it barely shows you any on-screen information. Its very basic lens is also on the crummy side with no image stabilization (Real IS at least) and poor sharpness.
Quite unfortunately, the Nikon Coolpix S220 doesn’t take high quality photos – and the images speak for themselves. Nikon makes very good digital SLR cameras, decent high-end compact cameras but decidedly poor low-end compacts (I’ve seen the S220, S230 and L20 this year). Even if you’re looking for a super cheap camera, you can definitely find better $100 cameras than this one... ”

CNET 's conclusion / rating - 10 July 2009 |
“ The Nikon Coolpix S220 is what it is: an inexpensive, lightweight, ultracompact camera that takes pictures. Those pictures might not always look too great--especially viewed at full size--but it really comes down to what you're after? If it's capturing the moment to post online for sharing with friends and family and you're sick of using your phone to do it and want more control over the end results, the S220 is an option... ”

“ Replacing the Nikon CoolPix S210 from 2008 is the new S220. Although the camera is the exact same size, it has a few changes that seem to be trade-offs. It has been upgraded to a 10-Megapixel imaging sensor, but has been downgraded to a 2.5-inch LCD with 150,000 dots and 44MB of internal memory (230,000 dots and 52MB of internal memory on the S210). Some of its other features such as; Electronic Vibration Reduction (VR), a new Expeed image processor, Scene auto selector and Nikon's smart portrait system, all add quality to the already simple-to-use Auto shooting mode.
A couple new features on the S220 are the 4-way VR image stabilization and the Smart Portrait system. They combine multiple smaller features that work together to improve the quality of your images. 4-way VR image stabilization uses the camera's motion detection, High ISO 2000 and the Best shot selector (BSS) to capture images that are as crisp as possible. Nikon's smart portrait system works the same way, combining the Smile mode, Blink proof, Face-priority AF, In-camera red-eye fix and D-Lighting to assist you in producing high quality portrait shots.
Bottom Line - The Nikon CoolPix S220 is just a slight upgrade over the S210 that came out last year. They have added a couple new features, including a 10-Megapixel imaging sensor and some shooting modes that make the camera even easier to use. However, the image quality and performance really hold this ultra-compact model back. With a MSRP of US$149.95, there are several other cameras worth looking at as well. For a camera with comparable features and better image quality, check out the ultra-compact Olympus Stylus FE-5010 for just a few dollars more... ”

“ While some lens, LCD, and image quality is sacrificed in the Coolpix S220 for its affordable price tag and ultra compact body, overall this unit undoubtedly offers a lot of style and portability for a very little asking price. One certainly worth considering if looking to purchase a stylish but positively simple compact camera within this price range... ”
