If you are finding for a relatively reasonable 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 approved design. It has a rectangular shape with one end being given a polite curve. The edges are rounded slightly to stop the camera finding quite so boxy. As is now becoming typical the camera comes in a number of dissimilar colours. These are plum, warm silver, aqua green, smooth 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 intuit for this is that Nikon have gone easy on the features the Coolpix S220 has. It of course has fewer features than say similar sized models from Panasonic and Canon. I like the form of the menu system. It is easy to find the control you are finding 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 control the shooting mode, playback of Photos you have already taken, self timer, macro mode, deleting Photos, exposure payment and accessing the menu.
More approved features include 10 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom Lens. That is pLentifulness 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 entrance to a number of colour options to make your photos look a microscopic different. These are vivid, black and white, sepia, cyanotype and pastel.
Picture potential is favorable 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 become 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 inventory photograph potential is about right. Talking of price this is one of the cheaper small cameras, especially for one this slim and lightweight.
Electronic image stabilisation is available. There is an important inequity in the middle of 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 work on photograph potential in this way and works by production tiny compensating movements either 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 available too. This works in a similar way to electronic image stabilisation. It allows the camera to detect keen subjects and freeze motion. You need to be aware that while request for retrial detection can come in handy it can also lead to a decrease in photograph 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 comprehensive value for money, taking into inventory price, photograph potential and features I would suggest taking a close look at the Panasonic Lumix Dmc Fs6.
