Nikon has announced that the Nikon Coolpix S220 was Europe’s best-selling digital camera in 2009. According to research by German market research agency GfK, European consumers purchased more than 740,000 Nikon Coolpix S220 digital cameras in 2009. Commenting on the results, Mark Pekelharing, Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon, said: “When we launched the Coolpix S220, we wanted to offer simple yet functional digital camera that was small enough to take anywhere and suitable for everyone. These figures show we have achieved that exact goal. Overall, the good price point of this camera combined with great colours, design and performance has truly appealed to our audience and we look forward to introducing them to our new range of Coolpix cameras, including its successor model, the Coolpix S3000.”
