Our comment:
There were not too many available reviews of the Coolpix S700 yet, both from actual users and expert reviewers, so if you are having second thoughts in buying this camera, better wait for more reviews to come out. But if you are satisfied with its published features and specs, and you are a loyal user of Nikon cameras, then the Coolpix S700 is for you. Though a bit pricey, the 12.1 megapixel camera resolution is in itself worthy of the price you have to pay for it.

Dear Sir,
The sellsmen at Ritz Camera told me that a software will be included in the package of Nokon Coolpix S700 and it will make a panorama picture conversion from serval photos. Is this true? Thank you!
