Camera manufacturers do promise their users with the ability to click better pictures in challenging lighting conditions, especially if the user chooses not to use the flash. Many cameras that claim to offer good night times shooting do not end up actually delivering what they have promised. This is precisely the reason why consumer complaints about night time shooting never seem to decrease. Nikon conducted a survey wherein it also realised the same. Thus, when it came to coming up with the Coolpix S5100, it equipped this camera with four different user friendly night time shooting technologies, for blur free pictures even in challenging light conditions. The Coolpix S5100 is a 12.2mp and 5x optical zoom camera with Vibration Reduction and other useful features.
