Nikon Coolpix S5 Digital Camera ( Style Series )

[chandoo]

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 Nikon’s portraiture technology: face priority auto focus and red-eye fix in recording and lighting compensation in playback. It includes a Pictmotion by muvee mode that upgrades the standard slide show into dancing pictures with techno music in the background. The Nikon S5 may not be able to wirelessly transfer pictures to a computer, but it comes at a much cheaper $349 retail price.
