We round out the 'style' range with the S700. Brushed aluminium body, 12.1 megapixels, 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD screen, sensor-shifting optical image stabilisation -- it's a compact camera all grow'd up. Start-up is instant, yes, instant.
There's all the face detection and auto focus whistles and bells, the usual 15 scene modes and that cheeky little scroll wheel. One feature we're interested in is distortion control, which Nikon claims will correct barrel distortion automatically. The results can be checked in real-time on the LCD monitor.
The S700 is available in silver or urban black, but frankly they both look like grey to us. It's not available just yet, but will cost the wrong side of £250 when it is. -Rich Trenholm
