February 2008, Nikon COOLPIX S51c

by Lindsay Holloway

Lindsay Holloway of Entrepreneur magazine applauded the Nikon COOLPIX S51c for tapping into the communication aspect of digital cameras and photography. Holloway raved that the lightweight, 8.1-megapixel S51c had the ability to email pictures to family and friends directly from the camera with only the push of a button. Additionally, Holloway was impressed with the S51c’s ISO settings up to 1600, 3.0-inch LCD screen, Vibration Reduction that compensates for camera shake and the S51c’s ability to make audiovisual slideshows of images with Pictmotion.
