I don’t make all my decisions around what camera to use based solely on their photographic ability, if that were the case I would have settled on a few really good cameras and that would be the end of it.\u00a0 I also use some cameras just because they are interesting or were a technological milestone.\u00a0 The APS film format was a dead end that a few camera makers went down but not for long with the advent of digital cameras right behind them.\u00a0 Although when they did make APS cameras they were more innovative than they had been for years and some of the design touches made it into the digital camera realm.\u00a0 The Nikon Nuvis S though is pure APS\u00a0design and it stands out for it.\u00a0 Taking the idea of the clamshell a step further\u00a0than a simple lens cover when closed nothing but the flash remains exposed.\"NikonNuvisS-8680\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The camera is made from metal instead of plastic and sports a 22.5-66mm lens with 6 elements (two of which are aspherical).\u00a0 That works out to a focal length equivalent to 28-83mm on 35mm film which\u00a0is nice and wide\u00a0just what I like.<\/p>\n

It is a nice looking camera both closed and open, and that’s some bad outdated APS film.
