August, 2009 |
As well as being compared against other compacts, the Nikon Coolpix S70 is also often compared to pro DSLRs, travel zooms, ultra compacts and entry-level DSLRs. The Nikon Coolpix S70's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix S80 and the Coolpix S4000) and Canon (such as the PowerShot A1200 and the ELPH 300 HS)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon S70 compared to other compact competitors include: it has a much larger screen (3.5" vs 2.7"), has better image stabilization (lens vs digital), has a touch screen, has an OLED screen (OLED vs LCD) and slightly closer macro focusing (3 cm vs 5 cm).
However, on average it has a much narrower aperture (f/3.9 vs f/2.8), has a slightly smaller sensor (1/2.3" 6.2x4.6mm vs 1/1.7" 7.6x5.7mm), is older (august, 2009 vs august, 2010), doesn't shoot RAW and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel).
