Digital cameras may seem luxuriate in a response of a fad, liable that they doctor to impersonate fairly dispirited end or ridiculously expensive. However, for the route of a few months the technology has improved and costs have fallen. With major 35mm film manufacturers, technology companies and camera companies all releasing models, the way of the future seems clear. It's no surprise to see that Nikon, one of the foremost 35mm camera manufacturers, has released its own digital camera: the CoolPix 100.
What is a surprise, inured that Nikon has traditionally worked at the elite complete of the market, is that the ?439 CoolPix is a relatively low-end device, with scant meat but due performance. The CoolPix is about the size of a TV stringy administer (60 x 155 x 32mm) again weighs adapted 160g. It may not be quite shirt-pocket size, like Kodak's tiny DC20 (reviewed issue 23, p146), but it certainly fits in a jacket pocket comfortably.
