Chronology
PredecessorNikon Coolpix S4

The Coolpix S10 is a model of digital camera formerly produced by Nikon and first released in 2006 as part of the Coolpix Series. Its image sensor is a CCD with 6.0 million pixels. It has a 2.5-inch (64 mm) thin-film transistor liquid crystal display device with 230,000 pixels. The S10 incorporates Nikon's popular swivel design first seen in the Coolpix 900 which allows for a powerful Nikkor 10X Optical zoom lens while retaining a compact form. Other features include D-Lighting and Face-priority AF.

The 2006 Nikon Coolpix S10 has a similar 10x swivel lens design as the 2005 S4, but with more advanced features such as vibration reduction and a lithium-ion battery.

Noted use

The Coolpix S10 was used by photographer Noah Kalina to capture a series of self-portraits in his video Everyday. He began using this camera for the project in 2009.[1]
