GOOD PICTURE BUT SHORT BATTERY LIFE TIME April 11, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It takes excelent pictures and has nice shape and advantages like other Nikon cameras ( I have another coolpix S700 camera). The battery life is too short. The battery charge is ended in less than one hour. It is necessary buy another battery pack
 Magenta is the new black..... April 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My friend has the sl7 Nikon Coolpix and loved it. So, I decided to check it out. I found that there was the S5.1 in a variety of colors and has the 8.1 megapixels. The standard black and silver is nice but, to add a little spice the magenta was perfect.
Color aside..I read the manual and practiced a bit. Our first outing was at a get together in a rather dark bar. This little camera was able to collect enough light with the flash and internal flash to take excellent pictures. There was a delay that was fixed by setting the ISO to 1600 and using the flash option in the menu. The delay was about half a second. Using the updated settings, I was able to reduce it to about nil!
Excellent for getting candid shots!
The large screen was impressive and the slim design was great for putting in my pocket. I bought a screen cover with helps ALOT with messy fingerprints.
There are color settings: b/w, standard color, vivid color, cyan, and sepia. I got to play with them that night and all the shots had great character because of the different colors.
There was red eye issues - but, there is a red eye reducer in the camera that corrects this. Also, you can dock your camera in the cradle, plug the usb cord from the camera to the computer and manually fix any distortion (rare) or red eye(possible) using any photo program.
The transfer time from camera to computer is short and the software was VERY easy to load.
Great camera!!!!
 Great features but terrible results April 6, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I recently bought this product after a lot research and was very upset with the results I got with it. Before anyone says, "well the camera is only as good as its operator" I would like to add that I am a professional photographer that was looking for a compact camera to take with me on family trips. The exposure of my pix were perfect, the focus however was not. Even though it looked perfect in the LCD screen they came out only partially in focus, either the foreground or the background or just part of my subject was actually in focus. I have always bought Nikon cameras, for about ten years now, but this one was not worth the money. I would suggest getting the Smasung NV3. This camera has most of the same features the coolpix has and takes way better pictures.
Great Camera, Great Deal April 5, 2008

Amazon offers a great price for this little camera.
It's attractive, tiny, and takes great pictures. The screen on the back is HUGE for such a small camera, which is great but I tend to get fingerprints all over it. It has tons of nifty features that lead to hours of fun.
My only complaints are about the same as everyone else's: The On/Off button is right on top, and when you press it, the reaction is instant. I guess that's a good thing if you want your camera to turn on quickly, but it's easy to accidentally hit when taking a picture and if you keep it in your pocket or purse, it'll turn on and off all day and run the battery down. Also, there's a pretty big delay when you try to snap a picture. If you like spontaneous portraits of your kids, pets, or anything that won't sit still for long, this may not be the best camera for you. However, it's still a great camera and those things really haven't been a big problem for me.
If you buy this camera and intend to use it often, I'd suggest buying an extra battery (make sure it's a genuine Nikon, or you'll void the warranty). To charge the battery, you must take it out of the camera and place it in the battery charger. A fully exhausted battery takes about 2 hours to charge completely. But, if you keep an extra, fully charged battery around, you can just pop it in and continue snapping pictures.
 Major On/Off and Shutter Lag April 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you are one that cherishes taking photos of precious moments in an instant than this camera isnt for you. There is a lag to turn the camera on then then anther lag when the camera attempts to focus and shoot. If you have children then dont' get this, you'll lose out on those natural/unposed/instant shots. Product is also Made in China and build quality is not as solid as my old Fuji Finepix V10. ON/OFF Button is Raised and not flush with the body so it always goes on in my pocket. Pass on this item and look into a Casio (Zero shutter lag), Canon (Solid and Made in Japan) or Finepix (Option to take 2 simultaneous photo's with and without flash at once).
