The Nikon Coolpix S630 is a sexy beast with gray raw metal finish plastic, that both looks and feels great. It features a really easy-to-use interface, 7x optical zoom (which is brilliant for its small size) and really good image quality. The proverbial icing on the cake is its strong backbone of features that's nothing short of impressive.


Its incredible macro mode could focus on objects as close as an inch and a half from the camera, which is brilliant by any standards. Its great picture quality was evident in macro shots too, where there was no loss of detail. The ISO performance wasn't the best though, so if you plan on taking relatively low light macro shots, you'd better get yourself a tripod and stick to a slower shutter speed than high ISO.

Fujifilm A100

The Fujifilm A100 is amongst the smallest and lightest compact cameras out there, so those with tight pockets should love it. Speaking of tight pockets, at Rs. 6,999 the camera's very reasonably priced, so even those short on dough can expect to get good performance for the price. While the camera isn't extraordinary in any way, it's a well-rounded performer with only a few flaws.
