Conclusion
The S51c looks very neat,
But its performance was a bust.
It seems this release is incomplete;
Future improvements are a must.

Resolution is poor.
The colors aren’t true.
Starting up is a chore.
The noise levels grew.

Bad pics from this camera abound;
Cheap components are partly to blame.
The only good quality to be found
Is the big LCD – what a shame!

The $299 price is a temptation
But the poor-quality images are more than a few.
The slow Wi-Fi causes aggravation.
In the end, the Coolpix S51c won’t please you.
