November Giveaway: Nikon Coolpix S01 Camera

  1. Due to the size it becomes a companion. The touchscreen will make it a pleasure to use, and it’s powerful enough to leave a smile on your dial! (get it?)

  2. despite the great small size, the Nikon’s fast EXPEED C2 processor is a biggie in terms of compactness without a slow speed normally associated with compact camera’s

  3. The 1/3″-type CCD sensor – a size more commonly found in smartphones to allow it to offer a 29-87mm equivalent zoom in a device just 77 x 51 x 17mm in size

  4. The 2.5″ touch screen on the back makes for a really handy feature…… and the fact that it can fit into your jeans pocket, makes for a very cool little camera 😉

  5. The S01 is the smallest Coolpix camera Nikon has ever produced –
    it will slip into any jeans pocket, so it’s always ready for those
    spontaneous photo-moments. Despite it’s minuscule form factor, the S01
    packs a Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens, a 10.1 megapixel sensor, built-in
    flash and Nikon’s fast EXPEED C2 processor. On the back you’ll also find
    a 2.5″ touch screen for swiping through your photos.

  6. COOLPIX S01 captures stunning Nikon-quality photos and HD (720p) videos. Its 3x optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens lets you zoom in for a flattering portrait, then out for a playful group shot; and it delivers sharp, bright images to a 10.1 megapixel CCD sensor. Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED C2 processing engine provides fast operation, onboard intelligence and creative in-camera effects. Your photos and HD movies will be as beautiful as your camera.

  7. The 10.1 megapixel sensor, which is more than adequate for happy snaps, the EXPEED C2 processor, that can pack a punch and the 2.5″ touch screen that obviously allows it to be that tiny in the first place.

Please email us at francois at ormsconnect dot co dot za as soon as you can – if we don’t hear anything by next week Friday, we’ll need to redraw the giveaway!

  26. What a tiny little camera! It’s adorable. I am impressed by the fact that they’ve gone full touchscreen, so you have more space on the rear for a display instead of buttons. Would love to give it a test. Also, that they’ve managed to pack a decent processor and 3x optical zoom into such a tiny little body!

    The white one is probably the prettiest. The best camera in the world is the one you have on you when you need it. With one of these, I wouldn’t go anywhere without a camera!

  27. It fits in your pocket, comes in 5 colours, has 3x optical zoom, 10.1 megapixel sensor, built-in flash and a fast processor and is touch screen.have liked your facebook page. following u on twitter. Have tweeted this giveaway and shared post to facebook as well twittername: online61524

  28. What makes it awesome? Oh I don’t know maybe the touch screen, no wait the 10mega pixels, no wait the size, damn I can’t decide… I guess it’s just because it’s a nikon and an awesome little gadget!

  29. Being the smallest Coolpix camera Nikon has ever produced so that it fits in a pocket so easily – this is such a big plus. I saw this advertised the other day on TV and thought that it would suit me down to the ground. I carry my camera around in a fitted bag which then has to go in my bag, and it’s heavy. This looks really lightweight.

  30. What makes the Nikon Coolpix S01 unique is the fact that is carries a Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens, a 10.1 megapixel sensor, a built in flash, Nikon’s fast EXPEED C2 processor, and a 2.5 inch TOUCH SCREEN!!
