Description — Nikon S570
The Nikon COOLPIX S570 is a compact point-and-shoot camera designed for straightforward everyday photography. Its 12MP sensor — housed in a 1/2.3-inch format — is paired with Nikon's EXPEED image processor to deliver images at up to 4000x3000 pixels. The ISO 100–3200 sensitivity range provides a usable spread for various lighting conditions.
Framing and playback are handled through a 2.7-inch LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution, and autofocus relies on a contrast detection system. The S570 keeps things lean on connectivity: USB is available for wired transfer, but there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Storage is via SD and SDHC cards.
Video capture tops out at 480p at 30fps, suitable for casual clips. At 120g and 3.6 x 2.2 x 0.8 inches, the camera fits easily in a pocket. Note that there is no image stabilization and no weather sealing, so it performs best in steady, dry shooting conditions.
