Coolpix cameras by Nikon are designed to be compact cameras you can take with you anywhere.
CoolPix is the name given to the line of point and shoot digital cameras manufactured by Nikon. The cameras range from entry level models which retail for less than $100 right up to more advance models that can cost nearly $500. These cameras feature zoom lenses and a number of automatic shooting modes. While the cameras differ from model to model, operating them is very similar as Nikon keeps the menu screens and control buttons in similar positions from model to model.
