Review summary: MAWhat the S51 gains in portability, it loses in slowness and hard-to-use controls.
Pros: Large LCD display ; Crisp, well balanced pictures
Cons: WiFi abilities essentially pointless ; Tiny controls can be fiddly ; Raised LCD picks up scratches ; Flash can be overbearing
Verdict: In a nutshell, this is a point-and-shoot that would suit nimble fingers, but lacks the speed many photo opportunities demand. Though the pictures are good, navigation is painful and compared with the latest Canon digital compacts, this new Nikon ...

Read Full ReviewReview summary: The Nikon Coolpix S51c is the camera that everyone wants to take to a party. It is tiny and cute, with stylish looks and has a large LCD screen so friends can gather round for a slide show. The 8.1-megapixel S51c looks sexy and has trendy features, ...
Verdict: The Nikon S51c is deceiving. It looks good, but doesn't deliver. It's like buying a new pair of shoes, putting them on and discovering that there are no soles on the bottom. Those shoes looked great in the window, but aren't functional on your feet. ...

Verdict: The slim S51c's body is smooth and almost feels greasy. It is nice to stroke, but awful to handle. The controls are tiny and there just isn't much to hang onto. It's the compact size that makes it so convenient for cramming into a pocket though
Read Full ReviewReview summary: Nikons latest addition to their line of WiFi-enabled cameras comes in a familiar package: the Nikon Coolpix S51c is nearly identical to its predecessor, the S50c, offering the same 3-inch LCD display, an 8.1 megapixel sensor, and some minor changes to ...
Pros: Large, bright display ; Optical image stabilization ; Slim design ; User-friendly menu systems
Cons: Slow auto focus, especially in lower light scenes ; Too-small zoom toggle ; WiFi still more about novelty than function ; Lackluster image quality
Verdict: The S51c's large 3-inch, high resolution (230,000 pixels) LCD makes for great image viewing. The screen has an anti-reflective coating that aids in composing images in bright sunlight, and the display gains up automatically in low-light situations. ...
