The Nikon Coolpix 2500 was announced on 21st February 2002 as a part of Nikon's new offerings at the PMA 2002 show. The 2500 marks a stylish design departure from the 775 and 885 but also brings familiar echoes of the split & twist bodied Coolpix 900, 950, 990 and 995. The 2500 is clearly targetted at a relatively young 'trendy' market, those who are looking for quick easy to use (and stylishly designed) digital cameras but cameras which can also deliver a certain level of image quality.
The Nikon Coolpix S2500 is a budget digicam with a sense of style thanks to its all-metal body and wide variety of colours. Costing around £100 / €115, the S2500 offers 12 megapixels, 4x wide-angle lens, 2.7 inch screen, and a range of do-it-all auto modes, all at a price that won't break the bank. Read our in-depth Nikon Coolpix S2500 review complete with sample images, video and more to find out if this is the right point-and-shoot camera for you.
