With some of Australia’s leading camera manufacturers turning their heads toward touch screen digital cameras, how are we to know what’s good and what’s bad? The new Nikon Coolpix S230 is a great place to start - combining simplicity, style and quality into one to create a top-of-the-range touch screen digital camera.

Blending the use of an infamous, high quality Nikkor lens alongside the strong performance benefits of Nikon’s Expeed digital image-processing concept, this camera is sure to impress. A large 10 megapixel sensor guarantees that you will capture everything from near to far - with rich, sharp image quality. The 3 inch touch control LCD screen offers a world of editing and capturing options, for any skill level. If you are not accustomed to a touch screen style, the screen may take some getting used to.

The Nikon Coolpix S230 comes in a sleek, strong aluminium design that is suited to any individual. There is the option to select silver, red or purple - expanding options for any taste. The camera is certainly user friendly - with simplicity that means little bedtime manual reading. However, becoming a master of the touch screen may take a couple of goes. There are many features and abilities that will assist to make any photographer look like a pro, such as Food Mode and Sports Mode. Here are a few key features:
