Nikon Coolpix S1 5.1 MP Description
The Ultra-slim Nikon Coolpix S1 Digital Camera is a 5.1-megapixel camera featuring state-of-the-art technology like the exclusive Face Priority AF (Auto Focus) feature, enhanced image quality and improved speed, within a smooth, compact design. Along with the bright 2.5-inch LCD screen, the 3/4-inch thin Coolpix S1 is perfect for the photographer who values style and sophistication on par with traditional Nikon performance. With improved designs and exciting new exclusive technology, Nikon has narrowed the picture-taking process down to three simple steps - turn on the camera, frame the shot and snap the picture. It's that simple! The Coolpix S1 uses intelligent technology to help ensure a balanced exposure, sharp images and much more. Nikon's exclusive D-Lighting function automatically compensates for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting, Blur Warning alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene, and Nikon's renowned In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology, which detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations without the need to press buttons or the hassle of additional software. Add to this 17 Scene modes, 4 of which offer Scene Assist, and you'll have the easiest and most pleasant photo experience possible - you'll only be limited by your imagination.

Top Point and Shoot digital camera - excellent design! ,posted June 7, 2005
Reviewer: Anonymous from Chicago, Illinois The design is really good - it fits very comfortably in any pocket you have, and despite rumours that the screen would be hard to see in daylight, I haven't had any problems at all with it so far. The start up time is quick enough to whip it out of your pocket and shoot at a party - especially once you disable the intro screen. The zoom works well - and the quality of the photos has been as good as I expected from a Nikon quality camera. The only issue I had was on the very first night I took it out - after downloading the pictures, it seemed every picture had some sort of weird circles on it - after a gentle blow on the lens though, I haven't seen them since - so am guessing it was just some dust on the lens from the factory.
The features are well thought out and easy to use - I was quite impressed by the templates and built in help in scene modes (this is my first Nikon camera by the way) - and the panorama assistant was really well made and easy to use. Also of note, I've found that the flash is incredibly bright and really lit up the dark bar and everyone in the frame - almost too much so.
Make no mistakes though - this camera is not meant for the semi-pro. You won't find all the controls, shutter speed, reliability, etc that you'll find on an SLR. I've read several pre-reviews on this camera that critisize its ability to do complex photography - but at the end of the day - that's not the target consumer for this. It's firmly targetted at the lower end consumer that is looking more for a replacement for APS or disposable cameras - that is, something that is extremely portable, simple point and shoot, but still able to come out with great quality photos. And on that front - it performs incredibly well.
