If you’re looking for slim and sophisticated then the Coolpix S100 is the most compact camera from Nikon's new line-up. Coming with a couple of eye-catching features in 3D and touchscreen control, it is destined for the pockets of party people.

Measuring a svelte 99 x 65.2 x 18.1mm, it is almost entirely free from physical controls, it’s just a solid-feeling slice of camera.

It's a design move we’ve seen from the likes of the Sony TX55, with a similar looking feature set on offer here too. Sliding the cover to one side powers the camera up, ready to start shooting.

Of course, as there are no buttons for the controls, you have to change the settings using the touchscreen. We didn’t have long to explore the interface or a chance to see how it performs under a true Pocket-lint bashing, but it seemed responsive enough to our exploratory pokes.
