The Nikon Coolpix S640 is a 12 megapixel digital camera. It has a 5x wide angle lens. The Coolpix S640 is small enough to fit into most pockets and is also a lightweight camera. I like the design of the camera. Although the design is quite simple the camera has a touch of elegance about it. Other plus pionts include ease of use and a macro mode that can get you in as close as 2cm from your subject.
Features include image stabilisation, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and a standard definition mode.
The time taken to take a single photo was 0.22 seconds. This is a fast time all other times were about average. Five photos were timed at 11 seconds. With flash turned on times were 0.51 seconds for a single shot and 20.1 seconds for five.
Looking at the specification Nikon claim the Coolpix S640 has a very fast start up time. Strangely this was an area where I struggled and try as I might I found it slow to start up and take the first photo. In fact I found this to be one of the slower cameras taking 4.97 seconds to capture the first shot.
Thanks for the detailed look at the Nikon Coolpix S640 — it’s always nice to see older compact cameras remembered for their contributions to casual photography. The S640 stood out with its slim design and straightforward controls, making it a good option for people who wanted an easy‑to‑carry camera that still produced good image quality for everyday use. Cameras like this helped many beginners get more interested in photography without a steep learning curve.
