Review summary: Super-slim and shiny, this tiny digicam offers a well-balanced set of features

Verdict: Make no mistake, Nikon's latest digital camera is incredibly small.

Review summary: The Nikon Coolpix S200 is currently the smallest, lightest, and thinnest digital camera in Nikon's product catalog.

Pros: Ultra-compact ; Quick and responsive ; 2.5" LCD screen ; Excellent image quality

Cons: No manual exposure options ; Battery/memory card bay cover seems a bit flimsy

Verdict: I recently spent a month using Canon's new SD1000 Digital Elph and while the tiny S200 doesn't match the SD1000 in creative flexibility or manual exposure options - it is only half as thick - and it does (in my opinion) compete on equal terms with the ...

Pros: Slim, sturdy design

Cons: Soft pictures, lots of haloing, colour reproduction below par, slow shot-to-shot time

Pros: Good image quality with good lighting ; Excellent colour rendition ; Excellent metering ; 2.5-inch monitor with a good resolution and high refresh rate ; Simple to use ; Very compact and light

Cons: Wide angle images a bit too soft ; Some distortion at both ends of the zoom ; Sensitive to noise above 200 ISO
