Nikon Coolpix S5 Digital Camera

Sudeep Naik, Oct 26, 2006 1800 hrs IST

We reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S6 some time back. Now, let's take a look at its similar looking sibling, the Nikon Coolpix S5.

Slim, Sleek, Extremely good looking, Easy to use interface, Good quality still pictures, Battery life.

Red eye reduction systems fail most of the times, No support for USB 2.0, Camera dock required for USB or A/V output, No Image Stablization Fuctions.

We reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S6 some time back. Now, let's take a look at its similar looking sibling, the Nikon Coolpix S5.

The Camera

The S5 almost looks like a Siamese twin of the S6 sans the onboard Wifi adapter and the large 3.0-inch screen is replaced by a smaller 2.5-inch one. It looks simple and subtle, just ready to pounce on any photographic challenge.

Measuring 93 x 59 x 20 mm and weighing 135 grams, it's a teensy weensy bit smaller and lighter than the S6 but lacks nothing major in capabilities.

Bundle

Nikon Coolpix S5 Digital Camera.
EN-EL8 rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
AC adapter.
Cool-Station camera dock.
USB cable.
A/V cable.
Wrist Strap.
CD-ROMs featuring Nikon PictureProject.
Printed Manual (95 pages.)

I bought this camers in US few months back. But sorry to say it takes extremely dull pictures indoors. even with flash quality isnt that good. i have tried all kinds of settings but if the picture is bright it is blurred. NOT GOOD FOR AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS LIKE ME. Lastly not value for money as I paid $350 for it. Lot of cheaper models available which take great pictures.

I dont undrstand why reviewer has given so less points to this camera while on the other hand his review is full of praise most of the times. nikon produces very good quality cameras and such a poor rating doesnt specify its worth. i also use nikon p2 which is very good and the red eye reduction is very good compared to those of canon or sony

,Delhi, on Oct 26, 2006 09:17 PM

dude.. U have a nikon p2 and evidently havent a cuckoo flitting about your head while you write this.. so shut your trap and talk about the S5.. i know for a fact that this review does justice to this product..

hey u crap i never invited u to reply. It was just my personal opinion. U could have said this thing in a more positive way but i pity your frustration which u have gathered from somewhere else. If u dont have ne worthwhile thing to say shut ur mouth and go back to your work. Its none of your damn buisiness to respond to whatever i say.
