The Nikon Coolpix S5100 has a set of features that are inline with a standard pocket sized digital camera. You should find this digital camera quite straightforward and easy to use. The design has a touch of style about it. The Coolpix S5100 is available in four different shades; black, pink, purple and blue.
Key features include 12 megapixels and a 5x zoom lens. The lens has the ability to shoot wide angle shots, such as landscapes, cityscapes and groups of people. If you switch the Coolpix S5100 into movie mode you can shoot High Definition movies. The maximum resolution of a movie is 720p.
The LCD screen is 2.7 inches in size. Close up photography is catered for by a macro mode that allows you to get to within 2cm of your subject. Nikon have built image stabilisation into the camera too. This helps to negate any blur that may be caused by camera shake. This feature is now quite commonplace on this type of digital camera. There is also a best shot selector setting. When you use this feature the Coolpix S5100 fires off up to 10 shots and then selects the shot it considers to be the sharpest.
