Nikon Coolpix S51 Details

Editors' Comments

The Nikon Coolpix S51 is a simple, sleek ultracompact looking to make a splash with a large LCD screen and some handy image stabilization. It's a nice looking camera, with a solid array of specifications that should please any casual photographer. It's close relative, the S51c is essentially the same camera, but with added Wi-Fi capability. We're not too keen on the Wi-Fi, especially for the price bump, so we say stick with the S51 and your plain old USB cable.
