Nikon's Coolpix S01 is an ultra-compact digital camera that, at 3.1 x 2.1 x 0.7 inches, fits easily in the palm of your hand, costs less than $200, and boasts a number of nice features to make camera navigation and taking pictures easy and fun.

At the top of the feature list, the 2.5-inch touchscreen display features a new graphic user interface (GUI) and menu system. You can also signal the camera to focus and take a picture simply by tapping your photo subject on the screen. Smart Auto Mode will automatically optimize camera settings by selecting one of six pre-programed modes based on current shooting conditions. There are also in-camera retouching capabilities to make every shot look as though it was perfect when you first took it.

As a camera, the S01 offers a 10.1-megapixel CCD image sensor, a 3x wide angle optical zoom, and 720p HD video recording. Not the best of the best, but at this price and size, it's pretty hard to beat.
