Create images as unique as your imagination.

With functions like Quick Retouch you can give your photos the exact look you want. And for even more versatility, this camera comes with several filter effects like Soft Focus, Selective Color, Miniature, Cross Screen, and Fisheye.
Capture superb image quality.
Nikon’s reputation as a world leader in digital photography only gets better with the COOLPIX S3100. This easy to use, easy to carry camera is loaded with innovations that assure outstanding images. Our high ISO speeds also mean you can shoot fast moving objects with optimum results.

Its four-way Electronic VR Image Stabilization system automatically ensures that your images will be sure and steady. A Motion Detection feature also identifies moving objects in your images and adjusts both shutter speed and ISO to keep them crisp and clear. And you’ll love Nikon’s Best Shot Selector, which automatically takes up to ten shots with a single press of the shutter, then selects and saves the sharpest one.
Powerful yet fun and easy to use
Can a powerful camera fit in the palm of your hand? Yes, if it’s the ultra-light, ultra-thin COOLPIX S3100, engineered with a 14.0-megapixel CCD sensor that assures superb image quality with every shot. This remarkable camera lets you put your creativity to the test, with its 5x wide-angle optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens. Its versatile 26-130mm lens ranges wide to capture a sunset over the ocean or zooms in on a windsurfer catching the last ride of the day. Whether you’re shooting winter landscapes, portraits of your favorite pet, or can’t miss shots of your friends, you’ll do it effortlessly with this camera. And you’ll love composing images from the vibrant 2.7-inch LCD display that brings still images and HD movies to life.
One Touch HD Movie Recording
When you want to tell a great story, nothing does it like a movie. Whether you’re capturing the excitement of a live concert, the heart stopping action of a sporting event, or the casual fun of a family vacation, the COOLPIX S3100 makes it easy to shoot high quality 720p HD movies. It has a simple One-Touch recording capability, so the action will never get away. And, it lets you digitally zoom in on your subjects while recording, so you can pull in tight on your subject whenever you choose. When you’re ready for playback, you can do it instantly in-camera or quickly connect to your TV or computer.
Convenient features
The COOLPIX S3100 isn’t just the most stylish and convenient camera you’ll ever own, it’s also the smartest. Consider our Smart Portrait System, which includes amazing advantages like our Smile Timer that automatically releases the shutter when your subject smiles, and Face-Priority AF, our latest face-finding technology that detects and focuses on up to 12 faces. Blink Warning tells you when a subject may have blinked—and alerts you to re-take the photo.
Tired of red eyes ruining your portraits? Our in-camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects for red-eye as you shoot.

And the COOLPIX S3100’s rechargeable Li-ion battery lasts for approximately 220 still shots—so you’ll have juice to shoot an entire party. The COOLPIX S3100 is a remarkable blend of simplicity, convenience and advanced imaging features.
