Description — Nikon S01
The Nikon COOLPIX S01 is a point-and-shoot compact camera designed around maximum portability. Its body is smaller than a credit card, making it exceptionally easy to carry. The camera features a 10MP sensor of the 1/2.3-inch type, processed by Nikon's EXPEED C2 engine, and shoots at a maximum resolution of 3648x2736 pixels.
The ISO range runs from 80 to 1600, covering a reasonable spread for everyday photography. A 2.5-inch touchscreen LCD with 230k-dot resolution serves as both the primary viewfinder and control interface — there is no optical viewfinder. A built-in flash handles low-light snapshots, while Digital / Electronic IS helps manage camera shake.
Autofocus is handled by contrast detection. Video recording is limited to 480p at 30fps. Connectivity includes USB, though Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available.
Storage is internal only, and the built-in rechargeable battery is rated for approximately 190 shots per charge.
