Nikon Coolpix S700

Normally, we're not too big on pocket cams — they tend to be light in weight and light on image quality — but that might change with the Nikon Coolpix S700 ($380; Sept. 2007). This new metal-bodied cam boosts image quality with features like a 12.1 megapixel sensor, the same EXPEED image processing engine found in the D300, optical vibration reduction — a must for those with shaky hands — and ISO of up to 3200. A sleek, stylish shooter with the optics to back up its good looks.
