"Launched in February this year, the Coolpix S5 is one of two new cameras in
Nikon’s S range of ultra-slim pocket compacts. The S series itself is
relatively recent, starting with the 5.0 megapixel S1 launched around this
time last year. All the cameras in the series share the same basic layout,
with a 3x optical zoom non-protruding lens mounted in the top right corner
of the front panel, and only a bare minimum of external controls. The S5 has
a 6.0 megapixelssensor, a high resolution 2.5in LCD monitor, and a strong
metal body. It measures 93 x 59 x 20mm and weighs 165g including battery and
card – it may be neither the slimmest nor the lightest camera on the market,
but it is small and light enough to slip into a shirt pocket or purse
without leaving much of a bulge."
