Nikon Coolpix S5100 Compact Camera for Low Light Photography


Nikon's newly introduced Coolpix S5100 improves upon the low light capabilities of the S8000 and S6000, and additionally features high-definition (1280 × 720, 30 fps) movie recording.

Like the S8000 and S6000, the S5100 addresses the serious problems, like blurring and noise, observed in compact cameras when taking pictures under low ambient light. Using the flash provides little relief because of its unnatural lighting.

Unlike the S8000, which featured 10x optical zoom, and S6000 which featured 7x, the S5100 has a lower 5x optical zoom.

Here is a little background.

In spring Nikon released two compact cameras that addressed the issue of low light photography – Coolpix S8000 and Coolpix S6000. These compacts introduced four new features – noise reduction image processing, motion detection, lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function and new flash control system. As a result, the two cameras were able to take beautiful nighttime shots with less blur and noise.

Noise reduction is achieved using Nikon's new image-processing engine. The camera detects camera shake and subject movement while shooting, and automatically compensates by controlling shutter speed and ISO sensitivity. Using VR, blurring caused by camera shake is reduced to a degree equivalent to a three-stop increase in shutter speed. Finally, high-sensitivity sync flash enables bright, natural looking photos with less blur, even in dimly lit or dark surroundings.
