    The Good: Nice click wheel; sleek, slim design; supports wireless 802.11b/g photo e-mail via T-Mobile HotSpot and private access points; optical image stabilization.

    The Bad: The lack of a built-in browser prevents you from being able to access most free public Wi-Fi access points.

    The Bottom Line: This latest version of Nikon's Wi-Fi camera captures nice images and lets you e-mail them straight from the camera via T-Mobile or private access points, but since it lacks a browser you can't gain access to most free Wi-Fi access points.

    Review Summary: Nikon connects its new S51c camera to the net with Wi-Fi capability, but are its photos worth uploading?
