Nikon Coolpix S31 review

 

Rugged waterproof compact for the whole family

Waterproof ; Durable and solid feel ; Easy for children to use ; HD video recording, even underwater

Limited shooting options ; Power button can be fiddly ; Underexposed in some situations

This is a basic camera, for a basic price. Although the waterproof function works well, we can't help wishing the day to day shots had a bit more punch and brightness. While we were satisfied with the overall performance of the Nikon S31, it's not...

. This new model is even more shockproof and uses a rechargeable Li-Ion battery instead of AA batteries. The S31 is available in blue, pink, white and yellow for £84.99.

Nikon Coolpix S31 review

 

The Nikon Coolpix S31 is a durable and easy-to use-camera. It doesn't offer the best performance or image quality, but it fills a place in the market for an inexpensive yet hardy point-and-shoot camera.

Its performance isn’t the best, and its image quality won’t give you museum-quality enlargements, but when taken for what it is – an extremely durable and easy-to-use camera – the S31 is a success. We wouldn’t recommend it as a primary camera, but if...

Nikon Coolpix S31 Preview

 

Nikon has introduced an extremely affordable "life-proof" rugged point-and-shoot digicam, the Nikon Coolpix S31. While there is no "Freezeproof" rating found on more expensive models, the capable S31 can swim down to 16.4 feet, survive 3.9 foot falls,...

Nikon Coolpix S31 Review

 

The Nikon Coolpix S31 sticks out oddly in the entry-level point-and-shoot segment. Priced below Rs 6,000, it's the most affordable digital camera that can take a lot of beating and shoot underwater. This means, be it shooting in a swimming pool or...

The scene mode includes the usual bunch of scene presets like close-up, food, underwater, interval shooting (good for time lapse), burst and fireworks as well as effect filters like mirror, soft picture and diorama (similar to miniature). The ISO speed...

Nikon Coolpix S31 Review

 

The Nikon Coolpix S31 is a simple, easy to use digital compact camera featuring a waterproof casing that's also shockproof. Inside resides a 10 megapixel CCD sensor, 3x optical zoom, digital effect filters and 720p video recording. Available in five...

We need to look at the Nikon Coolpix S31 for what it is - a cheap and cheerful waterproof camera that's designed for everyone in a household to use, from young children to grandparents. With that in mind, the S31 is very well thought out. The build...
