Nikon has been experimenting with Wi-Fi-equipped cameras for a few years now. Not very long ago, Nikon introduced Wi-Fi in its ultracompact 7-megapixels Coolpix S50c. The latest Coolpix S51c continues this trend and incorporates an 8-megapixels CCD sensor, a 3-inch, 230,000-pixel LCD, sensitivity of up to ISO 1,600, and optical image stabilization.
What's new

Much like last year's model, the S51c lets you email images straight from the camera as long as you can connect to a compatible Wi-Fi hot spot. Since the S51c won't include any way to accept the terms of service of many public Wi-Fi hot spots, you'll need access to a private wireless router--though the camera will let you enter a security code if the router you're using is secure. Nikon is also starting its own photo-sharing Web site called myPicturetown and will include 2GB of free storage space with the Coolpix S51c.
If Wi-Fi connectivity doesn't float your boat, Nikon is also introducing the S51, which has all the same specs as the S51c, but doesn't include the Wi-Fi connectivity or the Wi-Fi associated freebies.
