Nikon Digital Cameras Reviews

Seize the day, moment by photogenic moment, with the Nikon Coolpix S510. With the 3x zoom Nikkor lens, you've got the quality optics to capture a great image, while the 8.1 megapixels ensure a fine high resolution for large prints and images. This model also has VR Optical Image Stabilization built in, eliminating motion blur from even the shakiest photographer's work. High Response allows the camera to power-up within 0.7 seconds and shutter delay of only 5ms. You can use the One Touch Portrait Button to focus on faces and instantly fix red-eye, and the Auto adjusts up to ISO 2000, so you can even shoot in low light. When you're done, you can review and show off your pictures on the 2.5 inch high definition LCD monitor.

I'm a digital portrait photographer, and I have a DSLR and alot of equipment that I lug around whenever I'm on a shoot. My digital SLR is a workhorse... however, it's heavy and it's an expensive camera (not to mention the lenses that I work with), and it's just not practical or logical to carry it around when I'm not doing a formal shoot with a client. So, I looked into getting a small, compact, and cheap (money-wise) point-and-shoot camera that I could slip into my pocket or my purse for everyday moments, that I could whip out at any second and start taking pictures. I had a Canon SD800 IS for awhile... and while it was an okay camera, it tended to blow out the highlights more often than not... so I searched again... and knowing that Nikon tends to be a bit more conservative with highlights, I came across this little camera, the s510. I didn't need a high-end point-and-shoot. I already have my DSLR, and high end compacts tend to be larger than a pocket... and I wanted something cheap, around $150 or so, and this fit the ticket.

Nikon's most compact Micro lens for close-up and general photography
Close Range Correction system provides high performance at both near and far focusing distances
Nikon Super Integrated Coating for minimized flare and ghost, providing good color balance
Close-up to approximately 8.75 inches
90.4-millimeter working distance

Lens-making is an art--Nikon artisans craft Nikkor optics from the finest materials, taking pride in adding their intellect and technique to bring the world's finest lenses to life. They push the leading edge of lens-making in their effort to provide the "glass" that makes the world's greatest pictures.

This would most probably be the sharpest lens in Nikon's arsenal. The 60mm on a 1.5 crop factor camera would be about 90mm in 35mm format. this lens would be a dual purpose portrait lens + close up lens. The 60mm is a bit short if you want to take insects (but not impossible), and the 105mm or 200mm Micro-Nikkor lens would be better for that, but if you take still life, flowers, objects, food, etc. This lens would be perfect for it. The minimum focusing distance is a bit too close for most inscets' comfort.

I read the manual and installed the Grip to my D200. What a big difference It handle better. I order this grip even though I have total of 4 batteries for my D200. Now I have more peace of mind that I can carry AA for spare in my Back Pack. For the latch to hold the cover, I finally figure out not to break it by pushing the cover gently while slowly turning the latch without forcing it , so not to break the locking mechanism inside. I love the feel in my hand , use it to my tripod without removing the grip and it is very stable. Plus I also ordered the cable release for really sharp picture shooting. For the price you can't go wrong. Very easy to shoot potrait now. I have wedding to do this March so, I'm ready to rock with my Nikon D200, SB 800 and my Spare Nikon D70. Now debating which lens to get between 17-55 f/2.8 or 70-200mm F/2.8 VR...need help

This accessory is great. You have the advantage of using the battery pack or 6 AA batteries. It holds two battery packs and switches from one to the other as needed. If you are out and about and can't charge the packs, you can use AA batteries!

I would like to say that this is a first rate compact camera. I also own the Sony DSC-T200 and I believe that the S510 matches it in image quality. The photos the S510 takes are also sharper than the T200, but each camera has it's own "image look", with the T200 having more saturated colors while the S510 being more conservative in saturation, even with the vivd mode set to "on".
