The Nikon Coolpix S520 is a straightforward, pocket sized digital camera. Weighing 115g without a memory card or battery it is one of the more lightweight models too.
The emphasis is on ease of use and the camera does not really have any more advanced shooting options. That makes it a good choice for someone who is looking for a camera that you can just turn on and start snapping photos.
Features it does have include a 2.5 inch LCD screen, face detection, D Lighting and image stabilisation. Face detection can help give you sharper portrait shots, while image stabilisation cuts down on blurred pictures. D Lighting is applied after a photo has been taken. If you think your snap is too dark then you can use this feature to lighten it up.
Power is supplied by a lithium ion battery. Both a battery and charger are supplied with the camera by Nikon.
