After making waves in the DSLR world, Nikon renewed its push in the point-and-shoot market with the slender feature-loaded camera you see before you. It’s had slightly different model names over the past two years, but its newest incarnation, the US$250 9-megapixel 3X-optical-zoom-equipped S52, is pretty slick. You get:
• 2000 ISO in “high sensitivity” mode
• Optical image stabilizer
• In-camera slideshows with music from iTunes
• SDHC support
• 3″ LCD
A $30 step up gets you the S52c, the same basic camera with an extra bit of a bulge. No, it’s not a tumah, as Gov. Schwarzenegger would surely tell you: it’s Wi-Fi, and with it a direct connection to Nikon’s my Picturetown online community for sharing, mailing and uploading to Flickr and other sites. Press release after the two galleries below.

Its so slow to startup for first picture and after shoot to recording the pictures. One picture size is about 3,4 mb (on 9 megapixel fine quality).On video taking , zoom has no sensitivity. And Most important is still picture quality is quite low even on 9 megapixel fine mode. Colours are not sharp, so pale. I think i could buy a better cam for same price.There is only one thing good , it has got wifi.
