Nikon has finally replaced the 4500 with a new swivel-body design, the Coolpix S10, which was 
launched last month. The new model features a 6-megapixel CCD, a big 10x optical zoom lens, a 2.5in 230,000 pixel LCD monitor, 800 ISO sensitivity and all the latest technical gizmos, including face detection and vibration reduction. However it has lost the one thing that made the 4500 special, that 28mm filter thread. What are all the astronomers, birdwatchers and forensic pathologists going to use now?
As usual with Nikon cameras, build quality is of a very high order. The swivel mount is reassuringly solid, as are the controls. As with previous swivel-body Nikons, the part housing the lens is made from high-impact plastic while the main part housing the monitor, card and battery is metal, although both are finished in the same matt silver. The lens doesn’t extend or retract, but the camera comes with a snap-on hinged lens cover to protect it when not in use.
The swivel body design is something you either love or hate, and I’ll admit right now that I’ve never been a big fan of it. I’ve been reviewing digital cameras long enough to have tested the Coolpix 900 when it first came out, and I didn’t like it then either. I just can’t get used to the handling, and I’ve had longer to try than most. Some people really seem to like it though, so I guess it’s just a matter of taste. TrustedReviews - Nikon Coolpix S10
