  The pictures are sharp and very clear. I love the huge LCD screen. It makes reviewing pictures really easy. The Wi-FI upload takes a little getting used to and a little while to set up but it works well. Great camera overall!
  
  

• Nikon style but not function

  This has been my most unhappy purchase from Amazon to-date. And only because I shipped this to an address in the USA when I visited and now live outside the USA, I cannot return it. If I bought it from a store directly it would have definitely been returned for another brand.
  
  For the past two years I have been using my CASIO EX-Z750 7.2mp and loved everything bout it: Shooting modes, picture quality, body durability and most importantly superb battery life. But after its been battered around in my travels I though I would get new one. Since I have previously purchased via Amazon ( gift received) a Nikon D200, I thought I would stick to the same brand......BAD IDEA
  
  The Body of the Nikon S51C seems fairly fragile and is extremely sensitive. The battery/Card lid underneath seems insecure, the shooting modes are limited, have not figured out the WiFi features as it is time-consuming nd I am constantly on the move and the battery-life is pathetic. I no sooner get out at night, take 10 shots and the "Exhausted battery" signal comes on and that is it! So much so, that I hve just hd to spend extra money to buy an additional battery and charged (via Amazon)
  
  I cant wait to get rid of this camera and find a suitable replacement. Sorry Nikon, I thought I was being loyal and have purchase endless lenses and other accessories for my D200 which I absolutely love and more recently purchase the Nikon SLR/LAPTOP nap-sack as my loyalty to the brand, but this product has disappointed me.

  I previously had a cony cybershot that took grat ourdoor photos, however inside in dark situations the pictures would never come out. I was tired of not being able to take good pictures of my children's concerts or school activities that were indoors.
  I got this camera last night and turned off the lights and snapped a picture in pitch blackness. The picture came our clear and bright as day. The small size is great.
  
  This camera is great for someone who just wants to take pictures of family or vacations.

  The S51c Coolpix camera is a very well thought out camera. It has some features that my D70 could use. I just wish that the battery had a longer life between charges. But , since the battery is so small, that can not be helped. Just charge more often. I really like the internal lens. nothing extends from the camera. The flash works well.

  I love this camera. I went up to Mt. Rainer in WA and it was snowing. The different scene options are so useful. I have caught some orbs upon taking pictures at night at my local graveyard. I mother has a Kodak, and I had to use it for the longest time. I HATED it. But this camera is definatly an improvement. The pictures are so clear. In Vibrant color mode it's even better. Now, I have a very unsteady hand. But this camera does a very good job of NOt showing it. The videos are really nice and I just love this camera. Hope this helps you decide to get this.

  Nikon Coolpix S51c 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom (Silver) My family has used over six point and shoot digitals. This camera takes the best picture by far. It takes clear clean shots even if you shake the camera while taking the picture. It really is a fantastic camera. I plan on buying three more for other family membersl.

  This is a great camera, easy to use, the wireless is really slick.
  
  All around nice package--big viewing screen and good controls.
  
  I have old guy eyes, so the big screen and easy to read menu and prompts are very helpful.

  The camera arrived sooner than I expected, in perfect condition. It is one of the easiest camera's that I have ever used and has features that are great. The screen is large making the images easier to see in most any light and the camera adjusts itself to make picture quality better. It can be hooked up to a TV and view the pictures there and of course they can be e-mailed and downloaded quickly. Great buy. Good price.

  The view screen is very large and makes it much easier to see what you want. The actual sequence of taking a picture is a little long. In other words after you press the button it takes a few seconds to complete the snap especially when using the flash.

  Its a good camera. Not as good at the Nikon D80 but it does the job. I hate the short battery life though!!!! AUGH!! I am takin pictures and than the thing dies on me. So I end up with half on my camera and half on my phone. The pictures are good. I have not ordered any of them yet So I hope that they print out well.
