Early April saw the launch of these two cameras from Nikon, which are almost exactly the same as each other – except for a small bulge added to the side of the S52c, which gives it Wi-Fi capabilities.
You can upload to Flickr, or to Nikon’s very own social-networking/photo-sharing site, PictureTown. I’m hoping it’s just like Funky Town, only with less Lipps Inc. Pick…
