About the Nikon Coolpix S01

David Brown

This tiny camera captures all the big moments

If you want to capture great moments when they happen, then your camera has to be there. At 3/4 of an inch thick, Nikon's Coolpix S01 is small enough to slip in your pocket and take everywhere — so no great shot is lost to that sad phrase: "I didn't feel like lugging my camera along." And because it's a Nikon, you can count on its high-quality lens and advanced image processing for detailed photos and crisp HD video, instead of relying on your smartphone's limited picture-taking prowess.

Nikon Coolpix S01

The ultra-compact Nikon S01 is small enough to take everywhere. (Silver model shown).

If you want to capture great moments when they happen, then your camera has to be there. At 3/4 of an inch thick, Nikon's Coolpix S01 is small enough to slip in your pocket and take everywhere — so no great shot is lost to that sad phrase: "I didn't feel like lugging my camera along." And because it's a Nikon, you can count on its high-quality lens and advanced image processing for detailed photos and crisp HD video, instead of relying on your smartphone's limited picture-taking prowess.

Those spur-of-the moment photos and videos, whether it's your child's first steps or an impromptu get-together with friends, will look sharp, no custom settings required. Auto mode lets you point and shoot without worrying about lighting details. Plus, the intuitive touchscreen display means you won't spend more time trying to learn to navigate a complex menu system than you do reviewing your photos and movies.


Creative touches and built-in memory

Despite the fact that it can fit in the palm of your hand, the S01 includes powerful editing features, such as pre-shot special effects like Monochrome and Sepia for stylized shooting modes. Or apply creative filters like Fisheye and Miniature after shooting. The 7.3 GB internal memory ensures you've got plenty of room for storage without having to bother with memory cards or sticks.

    Recording Features

    Overview: The Nikon Coolpix S01 is the smallest Coolpix camera ever. It is only 3" wide and 2" high, and weighs only 3.4 ounces, and comes with a built-in Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery and a 7.3 GB internal memory. This 10.1 megapixel camera is equipped with a versatile 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens, and a 2.5" touchscreen display.

    2.5" LCD Monitor: The Coolpix S01 has a 2.5" TFT LCD touchscreen monitor, featuring approximately 230,000 dots, and an anti-reflection coating. The LCD monitor has approximately 96% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode and approximately 100% coverage in playback mode. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera.

    Image Sensor: The Coolpix S01 features a 1/2.9" CCD image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 10.34-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 10.1-million.

    Optics: The Coolpix S01 digital camera uses a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens for superb image quality. The 4.1-12.3mm lens has an angle of view equivalent to that of a 29-87mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 12x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of an approximately 348mm lens (35mm format).

    Vibration Reduction: The Nikon Coolpix S01 offers Electronic Vibration Reduction (VR). Vibration Reduction reduces blurring caused by camera shake when shooting. Slight hand movements causes blurred photos, especially when shooting at slow shutter speeds or when zoomed in.
