The Coolpix S630 is a high quality compact digital camera featuring 12 megapixel resolution and a 7x optical zoom lens. The Coolpix S630's unique design combines straight and curved surfaces with a unique Sure Grip that allows the camera to be held comfortably. Quick response and 4 way VR image stabilization system and sport continuous mode allows images to be captured at up to 11 frames per second.

EXPEED
Nikon's smarter approach to digital imaging technology. From image capture to processing, Nikon's comprehensive EXPEED digital imaging concept encompasses the entire picture-taking operation. EXPEED is much more than a processing engine; it is a revolution in digital photography.

4 way VR Image Stabilization minimizes the effects of camera shake for sharper results

  • Nikon's Optical VR image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by moving the image sensor.
  • Motion Detection automatically detects a moving subject and adjusts shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
  • High ISO 6400 capability helps give you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects.
  • Nikon's original Best Shot Selector automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and saves the sharpest image.

Exceptional Image Quality
The Coolpix S630's exceptional image quality and consistently sharp results from it's 12 megapixel sensor and precision 7x Zoom-NIKKOR are just the beginning. The creative freedom of the Coolpix S630's zoom range of 37-260mm lets you capture the full delight of all those special moments, from entire scenes to tight close-ups.

Compact, fast and stylish for just the right fit
The Coolpix S630 packs stylish elegance, swift response and advanced functions into an ultra-compact design. Optimized performance, large controls and the reassuring fit of its Sure Grip help ensure that you will capture all those precious moments.

Nikon's Scene Auto Selector
Automatically recognizes the scene and selects from one of six scene modes for best results. The Coolpix S630 will choose, Portrait, Night Portrait, Close-up (macro), Landscape, Night Landscape or Backlight mode.

Beautiful portraits with ease
Smile Mode helps you faithfully record special moments by automatically releasing the shutter when your subject smiles. The new Blink Proof function automatically shoots two sequential shots and saves the one in which the subject's eyes are open.

Quick Retouch
Quick Retouch adds the right finishing touch to your photos by automatically creating a retouched copy with the best balance of contrast and saturation.

    Awesome new camera

    "It took a while to find someone who was selling it but that's just because it's so new but it was worth it. I love some of the newer features such as the 12 face finding and smile capture. It takes beautiful pictures with it's 12 megapixels and the video quality is actually pretty good. I've already used it to upload small snippets onto youtube. Nikon always puts out great products...." Read Full Review »
