The Nikon takes care of photo basics at a recession-busting price, so you can save your precious pounds for beers and holidays. Read more
- Picking up a Nikon for under £100 is like finding a Van Gogh at car boot sale, and the slimline S210 certainly splashes around colour like an Impressionist master. Photos are sharp and bright enough, and the flash is perky...
