Editors' Comments

Nikon's Coolpix S52c is an identical twin to the Coolpix S52, except that it features built-in WiFi capability. This WiFi connection allows S52c users to upload their photos to Nikon's online My Picturetown service on the fly, so long as a wireless network is available. Beyond the WiFi capability, the S52c is a stylish supercompact digital that offers a 9-megapixel sensor paired with a 3x optically stabilized zoom lens. The camera also offers a respectable 100-3200 ISO range, allowing it to take good snapshots in dim light. A bevy of pre-programmed scene modes should appeal to casual photographers who just want to set it and forget it, though it lacks manual controls for more experimental users. Of further note is its all metal construction, which feels great in the hand and bespeaks a certain dedication to quality.

  • Best Digital Cameras with Wi-Fi / Wireless Capability

    For photographers on the go, dealing with memory cards or internal hard-drives can be a nuisance. No one wants to miss a picture-perfect moment because the camera has run out of space! Luckily, camera manufacturers have slowly started to make the leap to wireless technology. Although this new technology is limited by the availability of Wi-Fi signals, it offers another option for users who wish to streamline the uploading process.
