Rated 4 out of 5

Nikon S01

This camera is so small you may think of it as a toy, but actually it takes very high qality pictures. The only drawback is that the LCD focusing panel washes out in bright sunlight and picture framing and composition is guesswork. This is a problem with almost all point and shoot cameras as very few cameras have viewfinders today. The built in battery may make a very expensive repair someday. I would prefer a removeable battery and removeablle memory card even if it meant the camera would have to be a little larger. Even with its faults this is a FUN camera and I am keeping it!
