It looks like a blast from the past, and sure enough the Nikon Coolpix S10 struggles to match the performance of similarly priced compacts today. It’s not awful but it’s far from great, and, in the final analysis if I’d spent £300 on the Nikon S10, after my initial enthusiasm I’d be feeling pretty deflated. My chief frustration with the Coolpix S10 is the way it struggles to find critical focus time and again – the lens hunting more than it should – and happily takes the shot even if it has failed to find it.
