Nikon Coolpix S630
Competitors

As well as being compared against other compacts, the Nikon Coolpix S630 is also often compared to ultra compacts, travel zooms, pro digicams and super zooms. The Nikon Coolpix S630's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix S4100 and the Coolpix S6300) and Sony (such as the Cybershot W570 and the Cybershot DSC-W620)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon S630 compared to other compact competitors include: it has better image stabilization (lens vs none), slightly higher maximum light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs 3,200 ISO) and shoots faster continuously (11 fps vs 3.2 fps).

However, on average it has a significantly narrower aperture (f/3.5 vs f/2.7), records lower quality movies (480p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 15fps), has a much narrower wide angle lens (37 mm vs 24 mm), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 460k dots) and doesn't record movies in 24p.
