The Nikon Coolpix 2500 practically screams "party!" color and unusual shape are certain to attract attention, but under the metal skin is a capable camera with surprising flexibility. Its excellent value and feature-packed frame earned our Editors' Choice nod. Like many other Coolpix models, the 2500 has a swiveling lens mechanism. But the 2500 is unique in that its swivel lens hides neatly inside the camera's frame when not in use, where it is protected from dust, bumps, and fingerprints. This clever design twist let Nikon's engineers pack a 3X (35-mm lens equivalent is 37- to lll-mm) zoom lens into the 2500's thin body. The extra space also makes room for an extended focusing mechanism that lets you focus on objects as close as 1.6 inches from the camera.
