Nikon S630 expands to a 7x optical zoom lens
While the brand new S620 was a sequential update, the brand new Nikon S630 has a new 7x optical zoom lens, giving the S-series yet another alternative. Wide-angle fans will be disappointed however, as this camera starts at 37mm, and has the 35mm-equivalent focal range of 37-260mm but with sensor-shift image stabilization (VR).
