Nikon launches Coolpix P5100, S51c, L15 and friends

Bored of having loads of memory cards lying around, except for when you really need one, in which case they've all mysteriously disappeared? Then perhaps you'd be tempted by a camera with a bottomless memory capacity. The Coolpix S51c is that camera -- sort of.

The S51c is the bigger brother of the S51 -- a slinky, stylish 8.1-megapixel camera with 3x zoom, optical image stabilisation and a vast 76mm (3-inch) screen. The S51c is the same but with added Wi-Fi. You set an email address and send pictures off to your account on Nikon's My Picturetown image-sharing site. Using email means you could upload to Flickr as well, or any site that supports upload by email, but presumably only one or two at a time.

We say presumably, because wireless isn't quite there yet. While testing the camera we had a choice of four wireless connections -- and this is in the heart of London, remember -- yet none of them worked.

The S51 is available in chocolate brown or silver and will set you back around £190. The Wi-Fi wonder S51c will cost around £30 more, and comes in ninja black.
