The Nikon Coolpix S-230 is the “fancy and capture” compact that comes in somber colors and is meant for those who are not nocturnal creatures and is also meant for those who are not unsure of their grip but whose fingers are nimble enough.
Well you should also be not a fanatical purist who rues over creeping noises that hallucinate you when you see them.
What we mean is that it is a good compact when the lights are O.K and you don’t want to focus on too many faces at a time and do not expect your camera to be over intelligent and are patient enough to tell the camera which of the 15 modes you are going to shoot in so that it gets on with the business of setting focus, white balance, contrast and shutter speed and ISO settings etc.,. 
Nikon Coolpix S-230 is a touch responsive screen enabled compact. That’s why the nimble fingers and the steady grip because its image stabilization is generally not “earth shaking”.
The Nikon Coolpix S-230 comes with a 3 x zoom and the lens has 35-105 equivalence of a 35 mm and tele photo equivalence. The touch responsive LCD screen is a roomy 3.0″ and has a 230 K resolution. It takes only 0.53 secs to capture an image including shutter lag and has a continuous capture rate of 2.2 frames per second. The S-230 can shoot videos at 640 x 480 VGA or 320 x 240 QVGA. The battery life is good enough for 260 shots.
If you are not fussy the Nikon Coolpix S-230 can take some very nice images with vivd colors never threatening to saturate with a capability of lifting the shadows on a nice warm day which brings out the sunny and warm side in you.
