From Nikon
Seize the day, moment by photogenic moment, with the Nikon Coolpix S51. With the 3x zoom NIKKOR lens, you've got the quality optics to capture a great image, while the 8.1 megapixels ensure a fine high resolution for large prints and images. This model also has VR Optical Image Stabilization built in, eliminating motion blur from even the shakiest photographer's work. You can use the One Touch Portrait Button to focus on faces and instantly fix red-eye, and the Auto adjusts up to ISO 1600, so you can even shoot in low light. When you're done, you can review and show off your pictures on the 3.0 inch high definition LCD monitor. Finally, its slim, compact design lets it find a home in any pocket or bag until the next memorable moment comes along.
Very nice features, easy to use. Picture quality seems to above average. I was concerned about a noise the camera made upon start up, i think it is the lense and/or cover just getting started. I asked someone else who also has the same camera, and theirs did it too. Also, if you gently shake the camera, you can also hear a noise, like something is loose inside the camera. The others did this too. But it hasnt seemed to affect the camera use or the pictures. I am guessing/hoping it is normal. Battery life isnt as good as I would like, but not too bad. I am thinking of buying an extra battery. Size is very nice. Overall, so far I am very satisfied with the quality and the value.
