The Coolpix S1 also doubles as a voice-recorder using the tiny microphone on its top. The internal memory lets the user record up to 5 hours of audio on WAV format – if the 12 MB flash memory are solely dedicated to sound recording. The camera performs video recording on Quicktime format with sound and image being recorded at up to 15fps (640x480pixels). The end result is weak but not outside the limitations of this kind of camera. It serves as a memento grabber and nothing else.
