    Comments about Nikon Coolpix S10 Digital Camera:

    I originally got an S4 and loved everything about it but wished it had image stabilization to reduce the amount of blurred photos I'd end up with. I gave in and purchased the S10 one month later to compare the two. The S4 feels more solid and is more compact and sleeker than the S10. The S10 feels slightly cheaper and is a little lighter than the S4 and is also larger. I don't like the location of the SD card slot; under the battery cover; this means you can't remove the SD card when the camera is on a tripod. The zoom button isn't as intuitive on the S10 as it is on the S4 and the shutter button is hard to find by feel. The only thing that makes the S10 worth anything is the vibration reduction feature; which isn't the best image stabilization I've seen in point and shoot digital cameras. If you're looking for an easy-to-use camera with image stabilization and 10x optical zoom this camera is worth a look.
