Description — Nikon Coolpix S3200
The Nikon COOLPIX S3200 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built for casual users who prioritize portability and simplicity. The camera features a 16MP sensor on a 1/2.3-inch chip, housed in a plastic body that weighs just 120g and measures 95.3 x 58.2 x 19.5mm — compact enough to slip into a jacket pocket. The 2.7-inch LCD with 230,000-dot resolution serves as the primary composition and playback screen, as no viewfinder is fitted.
Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system with 99 focus points and subject tracking to help with moving subjects. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, providing some adaptability in different lighting environments. Video is recorded at up to 30fps. Digital/Electronic image stabilization is onboard to help counter camera shake.
Storage uses SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB for file transfer, though Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available. The lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 180 shots per charge.
