World without Wires
Digital compact cameras with integrated wireless connectivity, though not a novelty in recent times, is still a rare feature found on selected cameras. While camera manufacturers constantly introduce better and smarter features for their top-of-the-line products, Nikon brought Wi-Fi capability to the list of features found on the Nikon COOLPIX S51c, and continues the tradition with its successor, the Nikon COOLPIX S52c. Do note that the S52c that landed in our labs is a pre-production model, hence our tests on the said device will be reflected as such, with possible differences with the mass production units.
