Conclusion
|
The Nikon Coolpix S5100 lives up to expectations: it's a basic camera with inconsistent build quality that's counting on its cute, colourful looks and its low price to help you forget about its only just acceptable picture quality (that's really quite bad in telephoto mode!). |
The Canon Ixus 115 HS is a nice surprise, boasting good internal electronics, a pleasant build and a sleek design, all for a price at which basic CCD sensors, harsh plastics and TN screens are still the order of the day. Canon just needs to improve the video mode and lens quality at wide-angle settings. |
