Nikon Coolpix S51c (Silver) Reviews From cnet

The good: Nice click wheel; sleek, slim design; supports wireless 802.11b/g photo e-mail via T-Mobile HotSpot and private access points; optical image stabilization.

The bad: The lack of a built-in browser prevents you from being able to access most free public Wi-Fi access points.

The bottom line: This latest version of Nikon’s Wi-Fi camera captures nice images and lets you e-mail them straight from the camera via T-Mobile or private access points, but since it lacks a browser you can’t gain access to most free Wi-Fi access points.
