Nikon Coolpix S4150 Review
At just 0.8-inches (or 18.4mms) thin, the Coolpix S4150 (the S denotes this compact sits within Nikon's Style range) offers a beefed up specification on it's sibling the S3100. Thinness, stylish design and clever features including a full touch screen interface, all help to make the Coolpix S4150 an attractive proposition for those looking for a smart, small but high spec digital compact. Nikon S4150 review sample image gallery The S4150 arrives in five flavours, red (the model tested here) black, purple, silver and gold and the attractive and nicely tactile body that looks like metal but, well, feels like rubber, is very nice indeed. Solid and sleek it is and it is also crammed with nice features.In fact, Nikon has used the word "intuitive" for the camera and its interface and I have to report that yes, it is intuitive thanks to a nice touch screen control system which I'll deal with in more detail shortly. A 14-megapixel 1/2.3-inch RGB CCD sensor sits behind the same 5x optical zoom lens that graces the S3100 and provides a 26mm to 130mm focal range so there's plenty of scope for wider vistas or close up work.

Released in August, the Nikon Coolpix S4150 is a mid priced compact in the Coolpix range, with a 3 inch, 460k-dot touch control LCD screen, 14 megapixel CCD image sensor and NIKKOR wide-angle 5x zoom lens.The Nikon Coolpix S4150 can be picked up for around £140, placing it in the middle range of compact cameras. It offers three different shooting modes - auto, scene and smart portrait. There are twenty scene modes to choose from including portrait, macro, pet mode (where the shutter noise is muted), museum (no shutter noise or flash) and fireworks. Alternatively you can choose "smart scene" and the camera will pick the scene it thinks will work best for your shot. The Nikon Coolpix S4150 utilises five different flash modes depending on what mode you're using, including redeye reduction and fill flash. Smart portrait offers users the option of letting the camera take a photo when a subject is smiling and also offers blink detection.The Nikon Coolpix S4150 doesn't offer a manual mode, but you are able to change aspects such as the sensitivity which ranges from ISO 80 to 3200, the exposure compensation and the white balance, including creating your own custom white balance, which is straightforward.
Nikon Coolpix S4150 review
Bigger isn't always better, which is why the S4150 is such an interesting proposition. As the smallest of Nikon's latest releases it boasts specs that come close to matching those on a far bigger snapper -- one that would also ship courtesy of a weightier price tag. There was only one way to see whether this £139 camera was a match for its bigger, more expensive rivals: put it to the test. Small and neat, with rounded corners and a matt metal case, the S4150 is roughly the size of a playing card, and less than an inch from front to back. Yet despite the size it packs a 14 megapixel sensor and 7.5cm (3in) screen. The 5x optical zoom is eqivalent to 26 - 130mm in a 35mm camera, and there's a 4x digital zoom on top, taking the total to 520mm. It's impossible to review this camera without comparing it to its close neighbour, the S6150, with which it shares many features. They both shoot video at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720, despite the S6150 boasting a higher native resolution of 16 megapixels. They both share an admirably low minimum sensitivity of ISO 80, and a maximum of ISO 3200, but the S4150 has a brighter lens overall, with an aperture range spanning f3.2 - f6.5, compared with the S6150's metric of f3.7 - f5.6.
