starsnikon coolpix s51
I have obtained this camera in the hope that would be better of my Kodak v 530, the only better thing was the screen lead from 3 inches except that the pic they are right but it is sense to delay it in taken pic the return to wish in order to put to fire and untied a goot has shot my old camera puts this nikon to the senses of the inall of shame except the great screen municipal has previewed more best


starsGood little camera
I bought this to replace my Coolpix 5000 which had decided to give up the ghost after six years. After looking at various cameras I decided to buy the S51. After a month of owning the camera I can say, I am most pleased. The image quality is excellent and I find the image stabilization really helpful after few too many espressos or when dealing with the Oklahoma winds. I found the menu system to be pretty well laid out, and the 3 inch LCD is great for seeing what you are shooting and has very good accuracy. My only minor complaint would be the lack of a protective coating over the LCD, I mostly likely would have removed it anyway, but it would be nice to have the option since it smudges rather easily. All in all it is a great camera, which will serve me well until I buy a DSLR.


starsI was disappointed
Unfortunately I was disappointed with the Nikon Coolpix S51. It looks nice, but when taking a picture, it takes it like a second after you push the button, so the lag always messes up your shot. In the movie mode, it has a very awkward zoom that's very blocky and looks terrible.

The 3-inch screen is pretty nice but easy to get smudged.

However, despite my bad experience, if you don't use the movie mode or don't really care about lag, this seems like a nice camera otherwise. It has a lot of features (some a little too specific; but it's nice to have). I just didn't really like it, that's all.


starsLove the Coolpix!
A great small digital camera -- very self-contained and practical -- can easily be carried anywhere and available for photos at anytime!


starsNice pictures, but I am so afraid of the screen
This camera really takes the images good for that what is and I love it therefore a lot. The color is PERFECT and is therefore cute and feminine. The only problem that I have with it is enormous the posterior screen, benchè is enough impressive, I always therefore is frightened of whom it happens. Except those, this camera oscillates. It is easy to use and it is enough small to take wherever.


starsGreat Point and shoot
Love the set up and ease of use of this great little camera. Great size for taking out on the town, with proven Nikon performance. Only complaint would be lag time between shots.


starsNikon s the best!!!!!!!!!
That is an excellent camera with nearly all the pics of the returns of the characteristics... It not only good but also free crystal necessity of videos........U verifying the pics that I have sended to the page...... Its of the really fantastic product to just a camera like this... which is polishes, the light weight.....n also with a reasonable price......


starsLove it!
The Nikon Coolpix S51 is fantastic! It's slim and fits nicely in my purse. The picture quality has been great and the vibration reduction really works. I wouldn't trade it for another.


starsNikkon S51 8.1 MP Digital Camera
This is the third Nikon digital camera that I'd used; my new Nikon S51 with 8.1MP is excellent equipment for all types of environments and situations. It is easy to handle, has a beautiful frame and yields excellent pictures. I fully recommend this product. Nikon: keep up the good work !


starsnikon S51 great deal!
That is the better camera and simpler that it has bought for my moglie in all of the years that I am buying them blots some photographic for. Pic large easy to use and the better value for the price! It is hardly sure to obtain the case that of the camera of kroo it is perfect for this Nikon


starsnot worth the money
We have bought this camera hardly before the birth of my daughter. Useless in order to say, we have been disappointed. The images overexposed and underexposed. We have been disappointed with the quality of the images and when we have tried to take care itself of Nikon same they we have perceived the customer service much poor one. Initially they have tried to dirci that our images seemed large. Then they have accosentiti them that there was a problem with not lascerebbero the camera but to exchange for an other camera. Therefore hour we have one renewed camera. That is the second time has had problems with a Nikon - so as to task that is a customer of the Canon here over outside!


starsNikon Coolpix S51 8.1 digital camera
Excellent product, easy to use even for the beginner. Small pocket size with good viewing area.


starsthis camera is awesome
I lost my old coolpix camera, so I had to buy a new one. I first bought a kodak 7 mp camera assuming all high mp were the same. but they are not! so i went back to good old nikon, and of course the picture quality was amazing. the only slight downfall is that the lens is on the side so sometimes my finger gets in the picture.


starsNikon Camra
The delivery was fast it has come double packed in order to assure damages happens in the sending process. The camra it is easy to use and it is door much joy to the person ch' was equipped also.


starsMarines Dream camera
We purchased this camera for my son, a marine , who is going to Iraq soon.He needed something that could stand the brunt of being crunched in his pocket or withstand temperature fluctuations and at the same time be a very small item to carry since he is already carrying up to 120 lbs on his 165 lb frame.This camera is thinner than a deck of cards and so light that you could forget you were carrying it.Plus he likes the color black.So far the pictures are extremely clear and the window on the back is larger than most. Great camera.


starsGreat Buy!!!



starsGreat budget camera
Use a Nikon DSLR and I have wished one camera of economic pocket complementarlo. Nikon seems less popular that Canon in the P


starsGreat Pocket-Sized Pont-n-Shoot
First of all, the product photo does not do this camera justice. I expected a flat red finish, but it's a beautiful deep red lacquer. This camera is sexy! Overall, photos are as good as any camera I've used at this size (Canon, Sony compact cameras). Looses one star for what appears to me to be slightly slower AF performance than I expected. Overall a great looking camera with very good results in the pictures.


starsBeware!
The LCD lens on this camera will BREAK very easily.
I had it in a purse in a case and when I opened it up, there was a huge crack on the inside.
I took it back to the store and they want $199 to replace the lens.
Nikon says to mail it to them and they will decide if it was "negligence" or not.
This camera was not dropped or misused in any way.
If they deem it negligence I am out $269 on a 3 week old camera.


starsThe Best Camera with a Good Value!!
I have owned different brands camera like Cannon, Sony, Kodax and Pentax. This Nikon S51 so far is the best. Very clear images even if you download them in the computer. I rarely have any blurred pictures even if I am not using any tripod and my hands are little bit shaking when I take pictures. A good size screen 3" LCD and it is large enough when I view my pictures. This camera is good when I take outdoor and indoor pictures. However, when I go out at night and take pictures outside the street, unless the object is very close by, otherwise, I do not see any objects in my pictures. It is a very good value for a Nikon, 3" LCD camera.


starsgift for sis
My sister wanted a camera and knew I only bought decent ones, this was a nice surprise for her for Christmas. Small enough to take anywhere and its a Nikon.


starsNot a bad camera but missing ease of use
The biggest plus is the big LCD screen. The biggest minus is that there is no easy way to select presets such as landscape mode, macro, etc..

Since I need to quickly go from preset to preset, this camera is better as a back up portable. Get a Nikon DSLR for a real camera.


starsgreat camera
If appreciate blots some to them photographic thin that is much easy to use and durable, this is the camera for you. I have bought this camera so as to I can put it in my pocket comfortable. Moreover I have had need of a camera that has had a zoom inner so as to he would be less fragile and it would not extend in my pocket. I love the great screen so as to a group can observe and the navigator easy of the seam in order to observe the pics quickly. The red covering I polish is definitively a collector of the eye. I have fallen this camera before and only small aesthetic of left it scratches. I have appreciate this camera therefore a lot that this is what second I have bought. A my first (coolpix s50) swimming pool has entered in one. Also after the pond, still it has fed in on and that it has allowed that me you recalled the pics conserved. Nikon makes a good product and would suggest to anyone.


starsGreat little camera for those unexpected moments
It does not preview that for being all and knowing it it is limitations. It can supply turns out to you fantastic.


starsGreat pictures..but slow...
I have received this for been born them from mine hubby. I have wished a camera that it was enough small to transport within my ag and I have appreciate it the look I polish. It takes to pleasant images figure once to them towards the outside the different ways. Only the claim is the slowness once that you are waited for in order to take an image. I have small kidskin and those means that are not still based!! Therefore are lotteries lacking good blows. Otherwise he is large.


starsgood -- with a couple of flaws
Features work as advertised. LCD is good BUT is scratched VERY EASILY, so be careful. Battery life is on the low side. Else, for the money, you will be hard pressed to get a better camera with image stabilization, movie mode, small size, 4 cm macro focus capability and Nikon lens.


starsgreat camera, great price
A lot of features in a little camera, so far so good, haven't printed any pix yet.


starsnikon cool pix 8.1mp
I had bought the nikon pix cold 8.1mp and to be honest love of it takes the images that large the video recording is large the characteristic of survey of the face is more therefore the camera was great transport like was previewed and all it has been sealed like meant to be...


starsWonderful!
I love this camera! It has so many options and different functions. The pictures are clear and the camera is fun to use. It can fit right in your pocket!


starsCoolPix Camera
It arrived quickly and was exactly as advertised. My daughter loved it - fits in a small pocket. Less expensive here than in stores.


starsA bit disappointed
I have had a Nikon Coolpix before and I was a po happier with the oldest version. I have bought this in order to obtain more megapixels and a greater screen. Up to now, poichè they are not excited like I have thought I would be. They are one heads taken care for the opening for the battery and the card of memory that seems a flimsy of the tip. Moreover I have noticed that on many blows of the inside, the points white men appear. I have called Nikon and this is not considered a defect. The camera blocks powder particles in the air when a flash it is used. You can try to obtain the image inabilitando the flash or can clean up them in on on the calculating. I have not never had that the problem before with any other camera and it is annoying. Still I am considering if or not to maintain it, they are disappointed totally.


starsMost bang for your buck...
My mother has this camera, less that it is the version 6mp. has paid $250 in the city of the circuit. I am wishing to steal it to it for the years, but I was in university, so as to every time that has offered to buy it one I have said it hardly to transmit the moneies to me, lol. In any case, I have spold several hours that make my search. I have read every single review of the customer. Some of the reviews are deceptive. The claims that people a lot have approximately many of these blot some photographic are that they do not read the handbook. One that or hardly it does not obtain. My sister has had a long relationship of love/hate with a lot its electronics and she has taken it in order always in order to calculate it outside. Hour loves them all. Therefore, yes, task that is better a lot, more imagination, blots of it photographic etc towards the outside here.... but not for this price. They are not a customer who tries the price more low. That one is stupid. I try the article that it offers the greater part of the explosion for buck (the quality of value). Mine mom it has had its camera for 3 years and it has not never had a problem. My cousins has one, but its is a model the much oldest one and its has lasted in order always! This camera oscillates!


starsSomewhat disappointed with quality but price ok
I have bought this camera for my daughter for Been born them. The price was of right and is sure that it will be fine for that what will use it for. I would not personally wish to have this camera for the being followed reasons. The video of the LCD has recreation horrible of color to the inside. If you have de light bulbs florescent in your house (more and more people), the green coloration of the objects on the video that the screen is terrible colors and particularly more luminosity (the objects white men are greens), it is better when only the incandescent lighting system is used but still remarkable. The good news is that the regulation white woman car of the equilibrium of the camera makes a good job in the rappresentazione of the colors in the images enough good same they. To interest enough, using the regulations incandescent white women florescent or of the equilibrium of the camera for one or the other circumstance has produced to the images the much poor (instantaneous way has not helped one). The colors are very well in the video when it observes the images in the way of playback, are in the same moment in which taking them they are here are a problem. In more, they are not sure if it is the 3"lcd screen or not, but like pointed out from others, the duration of battery has seemed short of the tip to me. While sure you can buy an additional battery, that one is qualcos' other that just you must transport around with your camera of pocket. A viewfinder with an option in order to turn the LCD outside it could have been pleasant adding to this camera. Moreover, like pointed out, the images same they are in some way granular also to the regulation of iso more lowland and to the highest regulations than quality of image. That is much remarkable one like complete format of image, but not poichè Badly when it observes the measure to the screen on your video. There are to times moreover some that ombreggia around to the edges. Sincere however, I reasonably find the quality of image for being decent for a camera to this price and something the customer of the shooting and the point would not have probably to be interested approximately. I have not printed any is some of the images and said to a 7 format that 5 x the ruvidità degree would be even less than an edition. Moreover, like pointed out on other starter shafts, the inserita/disinserita switch is many sensitive and several times that I have accidentally ignited the camera while in it it is the case hardly taking it with attention. Moreover, the AF aid that exposes to flash burst short of light in order helping in the focalization in the situations of the low light will blind your objects and is enough annoying. It can be extinguished, but then you can have focalization of editions. Moreover, the camera is much slow one to the inside. Not like Evil to the open when the aid and the flash of AF are not necessary. I cannot imagine as someone could interfere with someone that jumps towards the outside the candles. From the side more, the camera is much thin and clear one and can enough easy be transported around. Of new, the images are probably very well for the accidental customer. I have found the commandos easy to handle, also for my fat inches (that was one worry of given mines the formed small of the commandos). The system of the menu is very well, even if to withdraw itself of the way screen is not intuitivo as I would hope, I am sure that practical one is not an edition with one little. I have a slr digita them but I would want comprargli a point and a shooting for. It will not be this camera for the reasons that I have given hardly. I have bought mine other daughter a SONY Cybershot DSW55 for Been born them and program on the riesaminazione of the that one once that I have one probability to play with it, probably to the inside of the following week or the two. Moreover I am watching Canon SD1000. One laborer of Co as soon as he has obtained one and is supposed in order to carry in some images. It knows that a small something approximately blots some photographic and dictates he to them was much happy one with the SD1000.


starsCamera Distorts Images
This camera distorts images, almost like looking through a fisheye lense. It is going back.


starsGREAT choice for an Easy Camera for your pocket or purse
I have always wanted a Nikon from my very 1st SLR in the 70's but could never afford one. My Minolta DiMage X20 dies recently and I needed to replace it for general photos (always carry a compact camera in my purse). I went searching and found this one would fit in my budget and have features I couldn't get anywhere else. I have not been a minute sorry and it's capibilities are far beyond what my other compact would do. The VR image stabilization minimizing the effect of camera shake is worth the price alone since my hands are not as stead as they once were. Read the details of the features and understand they are as described. You'll be happy you made this choice, even the panoramic mode is very cool and so easy to use.


starsNikon Coolpix S51 Digital Camera
Reputable manufacturer. Quality product. Large viweing screen. Numerous options for creating photos under a wide range of situations.


starsGreat pictures, but S.......................L.......................O........................W
The images that I have taken with this camera were all beautiful. Not there is question - camera is one much intelligent one. I have not obtained talked nonsense that it was dimmed, overexposed or a dusk. The two claims that I have with it are how much slow one are and that one I have obtained "to orbs" a lot in my images. This camera works so as to hard and it carries out many calculations that are impossible "to block a moment." For the moment in which the camera it is aspects in order to talk nonsense, the moment has gone. They are not sure that what to say approximately the orbs except what they were here. It is concluded me on the restitution because I could not be taken care hardly of how much slow one was.


starsRead the manual people!
I keep seeing all of these review with silly problems, just read the manual! If it seems slow to take pics, change the shutter speed to the higher/faster speeds and the camera will keep up with your multi fast action photos, no delay as described by others. The power button is just like the one on the L series, although easy to turn on, the camera has an automatic sleep mode before it actually turns off. I love this camera, and when in high resolution photo mode, the display is vivid and quite clear, unlike the grainy lo res pics show on it. I give it a 5+ for outstanding ease and wonderful functions.


starsCoolpix S51
I have been shooting with Nikons since 1984. This is a great, pocket sized, QUALITY camera to use when you don't want to carry the big guns with all the lenses and accessories.


starsExcellent image quality
That is really large compact camera. They are not really in blots some photographic compact while use usually SLR, but the quality of image is exceptional for the relative code category. Low noise in the high iso, the pleasant colors and the cutting image. The 3"lcd is real pleasure. Menu and the keys are easy to use and to regulate themselves in the logical order. The downside it is the absences of viewfinder and the acknowledgment of the face is not really sure.


starsGreat compact camera, especially for the price
I have wished to replace my P aging


starsStopped working one month after purchase
I have this camera in the red color and appreciate it therefore a lot I have bought one for my husband in the black one. The great exposure was large and the thin and small format is to adapt in all the ag or pocket! , before that it used never its black one, my unfortunately red it has stopped to work. We have taken on the vacation to Tahoe over thanksgiving and has begun to take the quality images terrible and take/show completely it would blacken, sfocate images instead of focalization on the object in the photo. They are put to me in contact with Nikon and I must transmit it they in order to see if they can repair them... hope so as to becasue that of really I have appreciate it before that has gone crazy! In the meantime, I have given back the black one opened one of my husband in the case is not a problem with the model of the camera.


starsLOVE IT!!!
This is the best camera I've ever had. It takes incredible pictures, and very easy to use. The camera has never given me problems- it works perfectly. The screen size is great and makes it easy to see what your taking a picture of.
I was stupid enough to put it in my pocket once- and then ended up falling on it and breaking it --- i sent it to get fixed- and it came back perfect.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this camera!


starsCompact, slick, and slow to respond
I purchased this camera as an all-around point-and-shoot for my family's use, and plan to return it and pick another - probably a Canon SD850 or similar.

First, the good. Photos are very good overall, with the exceptions noted below, and much better than my previous camera, a Nikon 4300. The camera is small, nice looking, and has a huge LCD. I also appreciated the integrated (and internal) lens cover and non-protruding optical zoom. The image stabilization was another selling point for me.

Then I got the camera home... The slick look is slick (as in slippery) to hold, too. The tiny buttons are not well differentiated, and like other reviewers I found myself accidentally hitting the power switch frequently. The big LCD always looks grainy, making me think my photos weren't very good until I viewed them on my PC monitor. I also found the interface confusing (and I'm no electronics newbie).

But the real killer is the camera's speed. Although it snaps open and lights up extremely quickly, it refuses to take a photo for about two seconds. Press the shutter button again, and you're waiting 1 or 2 more seconds while it focuses and processes - by then the kids have turned away and are on to something else. In short, it's just unbearably slow in everyday use.

Back in the box, then.

UPDATE: I returned this camera and purchased a Canon SD850 IS as a replacement. I am much happier - the Canon is SUPER quick so I no longer get photos of the backs of the kids heads, their ears and hair, or the background when I was setting up the shot... Other quirks with the Nikon that I noticed in a week of use: The battery/card door is VERY hard to open and feels flimsy; the charger requires a big bulky power cord; the slim design fit very nicely in a pocket.


starsTo the guy that said the image quality is horrible...
A camera is only good how much the person using. If you are not familar with like recording the regulations in order to satisfy the atmosphere running (full luminous sun day, dark cloudy night etc) then that you it cannot incolpare of the camera, incolpate to you of. If you come to lack a code category, it is not the defect that of teaching is above all yours. Similarly, if you cannot use a camera in order to take the images then you have same to incolpare of.


starsCool Coolpix
This is our second Coolpix. We bought this one because of the large viewing screen plus our good experience with the earlier one. Now that we have used it several times, we find the small slim profile makes it very easy to carry around in purse or pocket -- so it's available on many instances where a bulkier camera would be sitting at home [we also have a D-70 which travels in its own luggage what with accessories and all]. Very easy to operate and surprisingly intuitive so there has been little running back to re-read the manual.


starsGreat Little Camera for the Price
I'm sure you could find a better camera for a similar price and a MUCH better camera for alot more money, but I'm not sure you'll find too many cameras with this many features that take such great pictures...& in a compact design that you can literally take anywhere. I have a Canon Rebel that I take with me on trips and to do "serious" photography, but I just love carrying this little camera with me everythere I go in my bag. You'd be surprised how many cool things you come across that you'd take a picture of...if you only had a camera with you. Well, now you can! ...& cell phone cameras don't count! :-)


starsPretty Good Cammera
That is the first camera that digita them of the shooting and the point I have bought. Use a DSLR but wished something I can slip in my pocket and usually take with me all the time. This camera measure the invoice. As with all it blots some to them photographic digita them of the shooting and the point the relative image becomes to granulate in the situations of the low light that render to instantaneous use a common event. The relative design renders large in order to slip it in one pocket of breast and the front part wherever. The image is approximately on par for all the camera of the shooting and the point, nothing to write to house approximately. Posizionare of the key of feeding and the objective is a little an annoyance. It is easy accidentally to ignite the camera when it slips in your pocket and over in the several occasions they are interfered to me with mine barretta over the objective. I would not suggest and I would not indicate and I would not shoot to the camera if yours to smooth on making some fotographia, but if yours trying something to schiaffeggiare in your pocket and possession to disposition wherever this camera will work to you large for. Amazingly great list of the options has one comprised the equilibratura manual white woman. Moreover it has a key for the taken one of ritratti of people, it uses the face that it traces in order to assure the just object is in the fire (this option only works writes if you have light enough).


starsI do like it
Camera of Nikon Coolpix S51 8.1MP Digital with zoom optical of reduction of vibration 3x (black opaque) it I have had for one week. It is wonderful when on a travel and I the picturs can be arrested to THAT chain of the storees of coffee and the email to the family. The quality very well observes for the camera of format the iso normal. The DEFECTIVE thing is the cursed key of the ower. Also often in the case of nikon it turnes over accidentally. Defective design


starsImage quality is horrible
The image quality of this camera is below average. For a camera priced at $270 +, I would expect the image quality to be at least good if not best. I tried both indoors and outdoors and 9 out of 10 images came out grainy. I would not recommend this camera.


starsVery good, but I have a problem (Muy buena, pero tengo un problema).
It is very comfortable and easy to use. The 3 inches screen is fabulous. The revolving wheel is a different way to show the multiple customized options and allows the reproduction of photos in multiple ways, one of them as a carrousel that turns when it rotates.

The stabilizer of real images works efficiently! As if it was firmly supported.

The problem I have is that the on/off button, located on top, reacts to very slight pressures unexpectedly turning on. It usually happens when sliding it into the protective case and into the trousers pocket. Although it turns automatically off in five minutes, the frequency of this occurrence contributes to unload the battery.

I have found that 150 photos by battery load is very little. It forces to buy an extra battery. The battery icon appears too late when very little load on battery is left. It should be present when the camera is turned on as it does for the amount of available photos and the actual setting. This was one of the few things that made me angry about my old Nikon model which I still keep in working.

-=+=-

Muy cómoda y fácil de usar. La pantalla de 3" es fabulosa. La ruedita giratoria en una forma diferente de configurar las múltiples opciones personalizables y permite reproducir las fotos de varias formas diferentes, una de ellas en un carrusel que gira al rotarla y que simultáneamente presenta la selección en una imagen adjunta más grande.
El estabilizador de imágenes realmente funciona, es como si estuviera apoyada firme.

El problema que tengo con ella es que el botón de encendido y apagado, ubicado en la cara superior, se presiona con suma facilidad. Un simple topadito y ya está prendida. Al entrarla en el bultico protector se activa fácilmente. Y en el bolsillo de los pantalones, también se prende a cada rato. Aunque se apaga automáticamente a los cinco minutos, descarga la batería.

Encuentro que 150 fotos por carga de batería es poco. Obliga a comprar una batería extra. El medidor de batería solo se presenta cuando queda poca carga para mostrar la batería floja. Debiera enseñarlo siempre al prender, como hace con la cantidad de fotos disponibles y la configuración actual. Esto era de las pocas cosas que me hacían incomodar de mi viejo modelo Nikon que aún conservo funcionando.
