The Nikon Coolpix S570 is another one of those cameras that makes me doubt the whole “choice of colors means a bad camera” concept.

It’s a twelve megapixel camera with forty seven meg of onboard memory, compatibility with SD and SDHC memory cards, a 2.7 inch LCD screen, a 5x optical zoom, image stabilization and the Nikon smart portrait system.

In many ways, this is a significant step up from the Coolpix L20 we covered not too long ago right here.  Considering that it retails for nearly two hundred bucks, depending as always on where you shop, it’s not surprising that it’s a significant upgrade, and frankly, that’s as it should be.  But just because it has more bells and whistles doesn’t make it a better camera.  Thankfully, it doesn’t PREVENT it from being a better camera, either, and the extra cash does, in this case, mean an increase in overall quality.

The Nikon Coolpix S570 is a high quality choice, no matter what color you want to get it in.
