Do population as a matter of fact buy cameras because they think it enhances their image? With a name like Coolpix, apparently the good folks at Nikon seem to think so. The million dollar examine here though, is either buying a Nikon Coolpix S51 Digital Camera will allow you to take cool pictures like the name suggests. I hypothesize not, but lets take a look anyway.
Why Buy A Nikon Coolpix S51 Digital Camera?
One of the nice things about ultra contract cameras like the S51, is their portability. Being able to reach into a pocket quickly, grab your camera and snag a picture at a moments is a nice feature. If it works. Don't count on catching many of those candid moments with a Coolpix. It tends to take a few seconds to start up once you've powered it up, followed by an additional one few seconds after you've squeezed the shutter button. Hopefully your subjects are slow (translation... Not kids), and don't go scurrying off the second they see a camera in your hand.
Nikon, must know that the S51 is going to be carried nearby in all kinds of strange places. Pants pockets full of dust and beach sand, backpacks along with your paper clip collection, and car consoles right beside all your loose dimes and nickels. You'd think, they'd make the Coolpix Lcd a limited more durable for these hostile environments. Especially since there's no viewfinder, and your stuck staring at a scratched up Lcd to frame all your photos.
