Coolpix S5 is an ultra-slim but strong build pocket compact digital camera from Nikon. It features In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, Face Priority AF, and D-Lighting, plus a new One-Touch Portrait button on top of the camera which combines Face Priority AF with In-Camera Red-Eye Fix to help users improve their portraits. Pictmotion allows the adding of music to the pictures and pick a style (Motion, Moody, Classic etc.) for displaying them in slideshow playback.
I like the way the buttons and menus are arranged at the back: intuitive and easy to use, in such way that even if it has so many advanced features, you can remember where to access them. This camera also comes with an optical viewfinder that may come in handy when you want to spear some battery life.
As for image quality, the Nikon S5 produces sharp images with good colors, low noise and accurate white balance; low incidence of purple fringing and flare.
