What is it: Sleek 8-megapixel compact with Wi-Fi
What we think: Nice idea, but Wi-Fi isn't yet ready to carry such an average camera

We like:
Sleek looks; giant screen; zippy scroll wheel; some well-thought-out Wi-Fi features
We don't like:
Unspectacular lens; public Wi-Fi connection issues
CNET UK judgement:
We're primed to get excited about the camera that cracks Wi-Fi, but the Nikon Coolpix S51c sadly isn't it. An average point-and-shoot with some lens issues, the S51c has some well-implemented wireless features but is let down by the fact that it can't connect very often

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
