With its recently released Coolpix S3000 digital camera, Nikon is looking to hit a sweet spot that mixes style, low price, and good beginner-level features.

None of the S3000's photographic features are going to "wow" you -- 12.1 megapixels of resolution, a 2.7-inch LCD, VGA movies, and a 4X optical zoom lens -- but with its $149.99 MSRP, its features are about what you'd expect. (Compare Prices)

The S3000 is now for sale in six different body colors (black, blue, champagne silver, green, orange, and plum), which is great for making this camera match your sense of style. Beginners will appreciate this model, which measures only 0.8 inches in thickness.
