Excellent low cost camera

Strengths: Small, easy to use, produces high quality pictures.

Weakness: No vibration control but it doesn't appear to hurt the quality of prints.

I bought this camera for my daughter to take to college. The small size is a big plus. She loves it. She has been sending a lot of great shots home, including some movies. a few days before I embarked on a cruise. She didn't want a larger camera. She has told us that many of her friends have talked about getting the smae camera. Best of all we found it at Sam's Club for $ 149.

Great General Camera that does have its flaws -...

Strengths: Great shape and feel for small hands like mine. Easy interface to use (I'm used to NIKON Coolpix). Easy to use in general.

Weakness: When using flash, sometimes spotting does occur in pictures. No vibration reduction. Does not support USB 2.0.

This generally is a nice camera with not really any great features. The body of the camera is curved and fits my small hands/fingers perfectly. Someone with big hands may not like it. The 2.5 inch screen is a perfect size and elminates the need for a viewfinder unless you are in bright/sunny weather. The only real big problem is that there sometimes is some spotting in your images due to the...

Great in bright lit environments, but horrible...

Strengths: - Small and compact - Nice design - Very low noise on lowest ISO - Well exposed images and nice colors (if lighting is good) - Less prone to breaking due to internal lens - Alot of scene modes

Weakness: - Absolutely horrible in low light (which means anything less then bright sun light) without flash, - No viewfinder - Not many manual controls

Basically, this is who this camera is for: If you want to take quick pictures in places such as partys and get-togethors, or just need a camera for very general usage, this camera is for you considering you are NOT very picky with the flash and do not mind using the flash for pictures in anything less then bright sun light. This camera, in most cases, NEEDS the flash to take sharp pictures that...

Cool Camera

Strengths: compact size, beautiful design, quality images, and easy use

Weakness: It would be better if it has vibrating reduction.

I am quite satisfied on this camera. I love its design and its quality images the most. Also, it has functions easy to use and 20 languages, not only English, French, but also Thai, Indonesia, which make more convenient to me to know how to use it. However, photos are not good enough in low light. You might have to take a photo with a flash, but I think the pictures will be not natural as same as...

CoolPix S5

Strengths: Wonderfully compact. Easy to use. Sharp photos with and without a flash.

Weakness: Granted it doesn't have the Vibration Reduction of many other compact cameras.

I bought this camera a few days before I embarked on a cruise. I didn't want to lug a full size camera in a camera bag. Learning to use it was a relatively simple matter. A beginner can start out using the S5 as a point and shoot. Then learn to add features as time and motivation permits. Photos have been sharp. A 5" tripod is a great accessory since it permits much slower shutter speeds. Also,...

Very nice package with a major flaw

Strengths: Very well designed physically. Good menu. Small. Excellent lens in a small package.

Weakness: Flaw in flash design resulted in poor indoor picture and ghost bubble

This is my 6th digital camera so I have come a long way - from Sony to Nikon to Sony to HP to Casio and back to Nikon. I always have faith in Nikon's optical, especially when the camera is not at the very bottom of the food chain. This is a good package in a tiny body. Everything works to my expectation including speed, picture quality, with the BIG exception of pictures taken with the...

This camera is worth $120 and it cute looking without the lends coming out. For this price as a backup camera we love it. The only problem is in low light conditions its doesnt take good pictures.

Nikon Coolpix S5

Strengths: sleek design, light weight

Weakness: low resolution

future version should increase resolution. Great price. I love light weight camera, since you can carry it to any place you want. First time buy Nikon camera, will consider Nikon brand in future shopping.

A choice for pocket DC

Strengths: Small, compact and user friendly, multi-language supporting

Weakness: Low ISO sensitivity

Small, compact and user friendly, multi-language supporting. The LCD viewer has great definition and clarity, and so are the pictures it takes. It is fun when using the rotating navigation button to select the menu. The ISO sensitivity is to low and even the highest ISO is merely 400 (200 for auto mode) and there is no VR (vibration reduce) system, so do not expect it to take pitctures with...

It is such a nice camera, which is portable, and has very nice lcd screen. It looks so cool and takes high quality photos. Really like it. I ranked the photo took by this printer much better than Samsung S630 ones.

Nikon Coolpix S5 Digital Camera Review

The 6.1-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S5 is the slim sister to the flagship S6. The cameras offer very similar feature sets, with the distinguishing feature being the S6’s wireless functionality. The Nikon S5 has a Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens that stays within the innovatively-designed wavy camera body, a 2.5-inch LCD screen on the back, and a one-touch portrait button on the top that accesses all of...
