Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix S640

The Nikon COOLPIX S640 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Nikon's Expeed image processor. It covers an ISO range from 100 to 6400, giving it a reasonable spread of sensitivity options for a camera in its class. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display resolves 230,000 dots, serving as the primary framing and review tool since there is no optical viewfinder.

There is no weather sealing, and the body is constructed from a plastic and metal composite, measuring 91 x 55 x 20.5 mm and weighing just 110g — making it genuinely pocketable. Autofocus relies on contrast detection with single-point focus selection, without subject or eye tracking. Image stabilization is listed as Optical (OIS), with digital IS also available.

The camera supports burst shooting at 0.8 fps. Video tops out at 480p at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. Storage uses SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity is limited to USB — no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or HDMI output.

The built-in flash offers Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill flash, and Slow sync modes. The EN-EL12 rechargeable Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 250 shots per charge under CIPA testing conditions. Color profile options include Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, Cyanotype, Cool, and Warm.
