Nikon's kid-friendly rugged compact — 10MP CCD, 3x zoom, 3m waterproof, AA power, 2012.

The Nikon Coolpix S30 was announced in February 2012 as an entry-level rugged compact aimed squarely at families and children, launched alongside the L810 and L26. Despite the S-series name it broke from that line's slim styling, using a chunky sealed body with oversized controls; the S31 and S32 continued the concept in later years.

It used a 10-megapixel CCD sensor and a 3x optical zoom with apertures of f/3.3-5.9, behind a protective front cover. The body was waterproof to 3m, shockproof to drops of 80cm and dustproof, with a 2.7-inch 230k-dot LCD. Power came from two AA batteries rated at about 240 shots with alkalines or 410 with NiMH cells, storage was SD, and it weighed 214g. UK launch price was 99.99 pounds.

The S30 was designed so a child could use it: two-handed grip, big shutter button and simplified menus, with enough sealing to survive the pool, beach or a drop from small hands. It remains a sensible first camera or knockabout holiday compact, with image quality firmly at basic snapshot level from the small CCD.

AA power is a real advantage on the used market — no discontinued battery to chase — but check the contacts for corrosion. Waterproof integrity depends on the door gasket, so inspect the seal for sand and cracks and be sceptical of submersion on well-used examples. Confirm the zoom and shutter respond and the screen cover is not badly scratched.
