Nikon Coolpix S7c - Trusted Reviews

CoolpixS7c.jpg

The Nikon Coolpix S7c Digital Camera has been reviewed by Trusted Reviews. 'At its widest point the camera is just 21mm thick, making it one of the slimmest cameras on the market. Its other measurements are also diminutive, although thanks to the large screen it isn’t among the smallest available. Nonetheless it will slip unobtrusively into a shirt pocket or handbag, and weighing 140g dry it won’t rip through the lining.

Having a big screen on a small camera means there isn’t a lot of room on the rear panel for anything else and here we come to one of the S7c’s main problems. At the top right of the rear panel is something that is clearly supposed to be a thumb rest and it even has a little pattern of four raised dots to give it some grip, but it’s only 7mm wide. Unless you have a right thumb the width of a pencil it’s virtually useless. You have to grip the camera by the very edge, and it feels awkward and insecure. That pretty matt finish is quite slippery, and several times while I was testing only the wrist strap saved me from having to write a grovelling apology to Nikon for having dropped their camera.'
