The Nikon Coolpix S52 is a slim digital compact from Nikon's S-series, released in 2008 as a stylish everyday point-and-shoot for casual users wanting simple automatic photography.
It uses a 9-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD sensor behind a 3x optical zoom lens equivalent to roughly 36-108mm at f/2.7-5.3, built-in image stabilisation, a 2.5-inch LCD, SD/SDHC card storage, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Image stabilisation and a bright f/2.7 wide end helped it cope better in dim indoor conditions than many rivals of the time, while its slim metal body kept it easy to slip into a pocket for everyday carry.
It now sells cheaply on the used market as a simple point-and-shoot. Buyers should test the zoom for smooth movement, check the LCD for scratches or dead pixels, and confirm the battery and charger are both included and functional.
