Priority Autofocus
The S1 can distinguish when the subject is a human face and sets the focus
accordingly. Now all your portraits will have tack-sharp focus on the
subject's face (rather than the wall behind them!).
Nikon Exclusive In-Camera
Red-Eye Fix
A hands-free solution for red-eye; this powerful software analyzes the
image data and corrects most typical instances of red-eye in less than 3
seconds! The In-Camera Red-Eye Fix feature turns on automatically when the
red-eye reduction flash mode is selected.
Nikon Exclusive D-Lighting
The Coolpix S1 incorporates D-Lighting, which automatically compensates
for under- and over-exposure due to insufficient flash or excessive back
lighting in a picture.
17 Scene Modes, 4 with Scene
Assist
Selecting a scene mode automatically sets the camera for the optimum
performance in most popular picture-taking situations. Scene assist
further aids with composition, exposure and focus. Scene Modes:

recording. Scene assist modes: night portrait, portrait, landscape, and
sports.

Nikon Gets It Right, April 22, 2006
Reviewer: Jared Jones
I just purchased this little beauty about a week. I was a bit worried from
the reviews I had read on this website. Let me tell you that I am VERY
please. The camera produces awesome true color photo's that are crisp and
clear. I have not had any instances of the blur problem that other reviews
mentioned.

Nikon Service is a Joke - Do Not Buy Their Products, April 17, 2006
Reviewer: AngryOne "AngryOne"
I recently bought a Nikon Coolpix S1 camera... after using it for only a
couple of weeks, the camera had become useless.
I had let it sit for a couple of days in the charger base.
The next time I went to use the camera, there was liquid leaking from
inside the camera... I am assuming that this liquid was coming from the
liquid crystal display. The camera and charger base was sitting where it
was impossible for the camera to be exposed to external liquids, or even
humidity and condensation. Also... the liquid was coming from inside the
camera, there was no moisture on the outside.
However, after sending the camera to Nikon for service... they, of course,
denied the warranty due to "water damage" Nevermind the fact that the
liquid was coming from INSIDE! the camera itself!
Anybody who reads this I would caution you to be aware that Nikon's
warranty concerning "water damage" obviously includes leaking liquid from
the camera itself!
So, I then recieved a bill for repair of the camera which was over 2/3 of
the overall price I had paid for the camera. After several irate calls to
Nikon's service department, in which I explained over and over to no
avail, that the camera was never exposed to external liquids, that the
liquid was coming from inside the camera!!!! Not only would they not
warranty my camera, they insisted on calling me a liar by asserting that
the camera had been exposed to an external source of moisture... as I KNOW
FOR A FACT IT NEVER WAS!!! They eventually decided that the camera
couldn't even be repaired at all and sent it back to me AS IS.
I WILL NEVER EVER OWN ANOTHER NIKON PRODUCT EVER AGAIN... as I do not
appreciate being screwed out of $300 and being called a liar! I would
stress to everybody not to deal with this company, as their service
warranty and repair is, quite frankly, rude, intolerable and has quite
questionable ethics.
