Nikon have announced the Coolpix S02, a replacement for the S01 which features a resolution increase. The new version uses a 13 megapixel 1/3.1 inch CMOS sensor (up from a 10 megapixel CCD). It ships with a 30-90mm (33mm equivalent) f/3.3-5.9 lens. Video recording capabilities have also increased from 720p to a full HD 1080p.

The S02 is a diminutive little camera measuring 77.1 x 51.3 mm x 17.5 mm. It is ideal to be carried around in a pocket without weighing too much. Due to the small size the battery is not removable and there is 7.3GB of memory built in. On the rear of the body is a 2.7 inch touch sensitive screen.

The Nikon CoolPix will be available in September in pink, white, blue or silver for $180.
