Nikon Coolpix SQ
The Nikon Coolpix SQ is a compact digital camera from Nikon's early-2000s Coolpix line, distinguished by a swivel body that lets the lens section rotate independently of the screen. It was positioned as a style-led point-and-shoot rather than an enthusiast model.
At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for the Coolpix SQ have sat in a narrow £60–£80 band, with a median around £70 on the limited recent saleroom evidence. Today the value is driven almost entirely by cosmetic condition and whether the swivel mechanism still operates cleanly, since working examples are increasingly scarce.
