If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive Digital Camera then the Nikon Coolpix S220 could fit the bill. This is one of the smallest and most lightweight Digital Cameras around. It is only 18mm wide and weighs 100g without batteries or a memory card. With the Coolpix S220 Nikon has produced a Camera with a fairly standard design. It has a rectangular shape with one end being given a polite curve. The edges are rounded slightly to stop the Camera looking quite so boxy. As is now becoming typical the camera comes in a amount of distinct colours. These are plum, warm silver, aqua green, level magenta, cobalt blue and black. Quite a choice!
For me one of the biggest attractions is ease of use. It is fair to say that at least part of the suspect for this is that Nikon have gone easy on the features the Coolpix S220 has. It honestly has fewer features than say similar sized models from Panasonic and Canon. I like the produce of the menu system. It is easy to find the operate you are looking for. The menu has clear text. This helps to make reading easy. If you prefer you can switch to an icon based menu screen.

Zoom is controlled straight through a ring on the top of the camera. On the back of the camera you will find buttons to operate the shooting mode, playback of Photos you have already taken, self timer, macro mode, deleting Photos, exposure compensation and accessing the menu.
More standard features include 10 megapixels and a 3x optic zoom Lens. That is abundance of megapixels for super sized prints or for cropping Photos before production smaller prints. The Lcd screen is 2.5 inches in size. There is a continuous shooting mode and you also have access to a amount of colour options to make your Photos look a itsybitsy different. These are vivid, black and white, sepia, cyanotype and pastel.
Picture capability is suitable for most snapshots. It is not surprising with such a small Lens that the camera is at its best when the branch is fairly close, such as for portrait shots. Distant scenery type scenes tend to push the camera to its limits. Even so any problems are only likely to come to be an issue if you plan to make prints of your photos.
This is not the best pocket sized Digital camera when it comes to sharpness, but taking the price into list picture capability is about right. Talking of price this is one of the economy small cameras, especially for one this slim and lightweight.
Electronic image stabilisation is available. There is an foremost incompatibility between electronic and mechanic image stabilisation. Electronic image stabilisation works by adjusting Iso rating and shutter speed. This can lead to increased noise levels in a photo. Mechanical image stabilisation does not affect picture capability in this way and works by production tiny compensating movements whether within the Lens mechanism or by shifting the sensor inside the camera. Nikon has not included mechanical image stabilisation with the Coolpix S220.
Motion detection is ready too. This works in a similar way to electronic image stabilisation. It allows the camera to detect arresting subjects and ice motion. You need to be aware that while request for retrial detection can come in handy it can also lead to a decrease in picture quality.
Other models you may wish to consider include the Panasonic Lumix Dmc Fs6, Panasonic Lumix Dmc Fs7 and the Olympus Fe-5000. These all have similar price tags to the Nikon Coolpix S220. In terms of ample value for money, taking into list price, picture capability and features I would propose taking a close look at the Panasonic Lumix Dmc Fs6.
