COOLPIX S5100

Five advanced technologies for beautiful shots, even at night

Advanced flash control and lens shift VR image stabilization combine with enhanced Motion Detection and ISO 3200 capability at any image size to help ensure beautiful results when the lights are low. Auto detection and exposure setting for tripod and handheld shooting further ensures a higher ratio of keepers.

Note: Auto detection functions only when VR image stabilization is turned on in the setup menu and Night Landscape scene mode is selected, either manually or by Scene Auto Selector.

Quick response puts you in control of the moment

With fast start-up time, rapid AF focusing and quick shot-to-shot turnaround time, the COOLPIX S5100 keeps you ready at all times to preserve those special moments.

Stylishly slim and expressively colorful

The rounded edges of its easy-to-carry body are complemented by a rich selection of equally attractive colors to make the COOLPIX S5100 as much of a pleasure to carry as it is to express your personal style.

Nokia N8

Introduction
We were almost starting to suspect mobile phones of giving up and playing soft. They seemed unstoppable you know. They went from 5 to 12 in no time and there was nothing to suggest that digicams will ever get a timeout for a much needed breather.

Surprised or not, the game is back on and Nokia are pulling the big guns out. The N8 is the new wannabe king of cameraphones. Fat numbers on the specs sheet and all that shining armor, the new Nseries flagship is hitting hard and playing tough.
The Nokia N8 has two massive tasks on its hands: beat digicams at their own game and bring Symbian back to its past glory. The hardest thing perhaps is to tell which one is harder. But if anyone should be trusted to perform a seemingly impossible stunt, (still) market leaders Nokia are a safer bet than many.

As you see the hardware is all there – there’re not too many devices out there that can match the Nokia N8. Some will understandably frown at what looks like unimpressive CPU clock speed and scarce RAM. Just remember that it’s the performance to be judged here and not the sheer numbers.

Different platforms have different needs so we’ll only know if Symbian^3 can do without a 1GHz Snapdragon after we’ve seen the N8 in proper action.
