[With Sample Photos] Rich and Glossy...? Even Daido Moriyama Loved It: COOLPIX S7000

Hello, everyone!

Today's camera is the Nikon COOLPIX S7000!

It looks like an ordinary compact camera, but it is actually a model known to have been used by the world-famous photographer Daido Moriyama!

Let me show you what makes this camera so appealing.

First, the shot we used for the thumbnail.

My first impression was, "Is this a CCD sensor camera?" But it is actually a CMOS sensor. CCD rendering has been enjoying an unprecedented boom over the past few years, and you can sense that same atmosphere in this camera. Above all, it is the color: vivid to the point of being glossy and seductive, a look you won't forget once you've seen it. The easiest way to describe it might be that it captures scenes just as you remember them, in "memory colors."

In this second photo as well, the rust on the metal and the small patches of moss growing on the road are rendered strikingly. I mentioned memory colors earlier, but the palette here almost looks like a painting.

Despite this distinctive look, it also offers a 20x optical zoom and Wi-Fi, so you can easily post images with a different flavor from your smartphone to social media. Quite handy and appealing, don't you think...? If you spot one, please pick it up and give it a try!
