The Coolpix S710 can produce good, clean images, although at ISO 400 and above, noise can become noticeable
The panorama mode worked really well and it’s easy to set-up the three shots that are stitched together in your PC. The supplied software is very simple to use and does a good job.

The D-Lighting system is useful for bringing out detail in underexposed shots, such as those taken against a backlight
The macro mode isn’t bad, but we've used compacts that let you get even closer to the subject
The camera’s 3.6 optical zoom (right) offers a 6-21.6mm focal length, equivalent to a 28-101mm lens on a 35mm camera, so it’s quite handy for shooting at the wide angle setting (left).
