And with the advantage of an anti-reflection coating, it allows images to be seen clearly even in direct sunlight.Not only does the COOLPIX S51 have the power to take simply stunning pictures, but it's also exceptionally elegant. Its eye-catching wave-surface design sets a high standard for quality throughout the camera, while its smooth curves and beautiful finish blend operational ease with stylish sophistication.

 not as sturdy as prior nikons July 4, 2008
Admittedly the camera arrive broken (with some piece rattling arround inside) and was returned for refund. I didn't want a replacement because the camera felt like a plastic toy. This was my third nikon coolpix( the first I killed by going swimming with it in my pocket; the second still works well but the lcd is cracked which, without a view finder, makes for some guesswork). I'd always been pleased with the others but the S51 just wasn't the same caliber of material. Can't say how it performed, though...Still looking for another one with metal construction!
Camera fine,free battery-unobtainable June 7, 2008
Nikon Coolpix S210 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Plum)Camera came in good time frame. Was very disappointed that code for free battery didn't allow battery on check-out. had to purchase locally.
 Worth every penny! May 22, 2008
I LOVE this camera! This is my third digital camera, and easily my favorite. It's so small and compact that I can fit it in my back pocket. I get compliments on the sleek design and the color (I have the pink one) all the time.
My mom had this camera when she came to visit me last year, and I fell in love with it. For a reletively inexpensive point-and-shoot, it takes very clear pictures. I love the HUGE display on the back.
What really sold me on it is how well it does in low-light situations. I rarely use the flash, and the pictures still turn out very nice using natural light, even if it's not a very bright setting. I've printed tons of pictures up on flickr.com, and they've turned out as nice as film pics.
If I had to do it over again, I'd buy the same camera. You're not going to get all the bells and whistles that a more expensive camera would come with, but you're getting a lot of bang for your buck.
Great Pictures, not as quick as canon May 20, 2008
This camera takes great photos: I took a picture of my cat and you can see every hair and whisker detail. The black is nice too, its a very sharp looking camera, and the screen size is another good feature.
The things I am not so happy about:
- time it takes to snap a photo - although not quite as long as an older digital would take, the newer Canon camera snaps photos much quicker (the only reason we didn't by the Canon is because another family member has it and we didn't want to always get it confused)
- The picture quality - the pictures aren't the best quality I've seen, they tend to look a little washed out with the flash.
- The battery life really is not good with this camera, but this could have to do with the placement of the on/off button and it accidentally turning on when putting it away.
All and all, I am probably just being picky, as the camera was only $170 and I would say it is definitely worth that, especially if you're looking for a small portable one.
Nice camera... May 15, 2008
I researched long and hard for a new camera after the disappointment with my Samsung NV3. It had the worst "orbs" imaginable and never took a decent shot at night. I am very pleased with my new Nikon. It is light weight, compact and easy to use. I love the large LCD screen. This is my first Nikon camera, and I have owned a Canon and a Samsung, and personally this model is my favorite so far. Obviously it is not going to take the most fantastic photo's as let's say a $500 camera would, but for the money and style, this camera cannot be beat.
