Speed - The Coolpix A10 isn't the fastest camera, and focus can be quite slow, particularly in low light. The camera can take a photo every 0.8 seconds when shooting in continuous mode, which isn't very fast. Nikon Coolpix A10 Performance Hi-Speed USB, supports Direct Print (PictBridge), also used as audio/video output connector (NTSC or PAL can be selected for video output.) The Smart Portrait system is activated by selecting it from the mode menu using the Scene button on the rear panel. The mode menu also includes the default Scene auto selector shooting mode, along with a standard Auto mode that lets you take control of white balance and ISO sensitivity, as well as activate continuous shooting. The camera’s creative effect filters can also be accessed from the mode menu, as can fifteen user-selectable scene presets. Unfortunately these don’t contain a sweep panorama mode, or even the Panorama Assist setting that Nikon includes with the Coolpix A100.

The Nikon Coolpix A10’s flash has four settings when shooting in standard Auto mode: Auto, Auto with red-eye reduction, Fill flash & Slow sync. Shooting a white surface from a distance of 1.5m shows the flash provides even illumination with the lens zoomed in, though some minor vignetting is visible in the wide-angle shot. Despite the slow image processing, the Nikon Coolpix A10 powers up and snaps a shot in an adequate 2.7 seconds. Of course, you’ll have to wait at least the same time again to view the shot, and if you’re shooting in low light, the A10’s autofocus system will require a couple of seconds to find its mark. The camera usually indicates accurate focussing no matter what the conditions, however we encountered a disappointing number of shots that actually turned out to be out of focus. Nikon COOLPIX A10 equipped with a 16MP CCD sensor captures beautifully images for impressive large prints.

Images shot with the Nikon Coolpix A10 look fairly good at first glance thanks to vibrant colour reproduction and accurate exposure metering. The aging 16.1MP sensor doesn’t capture much dynamic range though, so shadow have a tendency to be overly dark. Detail is well resolved when shooting close subjects, but the sensor limitations show up again when capturing more distant scenes like landscapes, where fine detail is soft and smoothed by image processing. Using a card slot or card reader, copy the “firmware” folder to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera.
