Nikon Coolpix S4000

Prasad Naik, Aug 12, 2010 1701 hrs IST

Possibly the cheapest touchscreen camera available, but is more gimmicky than productive

Slim, compact design, large touchscreen display, 720p video recording

Unimpressive image quality, unreliable focusing, touchscreen response not up to the mark, too few image adjustment options available, no optical zoom while recording video

Expert Review

The Nikon Coolpix S4000 is a slim and stylish point-and-shoot camera on a budget that also happens to have a 3.0" touchscreen display on its back. Today we will find out how well it performs.

The S4000 has a very nice clean design. It is sold in five colors; red, silver, pink, plum and black. The body has a matte finish to it with glossy chrome at the top and sides.

On the front is the 12 megapixel wide angle lens with 4x optical zoom. On its top left is the flash and on the right is the focus assist lamp. The flash, thankfully, is away from the left edge, so you don't have to worry covering it accidentally with your finger while taking a picture. On the bottom right of the lens is the microphone for the video recorder. On the top is a recessed power button and the camera shutter button with the zoom ring around it.
