Digital camera reviews of Nikon Coolpix S50 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: Amazing for sometime.
Summary: 3 Stars
Nikon and Canon were my trusted brands for Digital Cameras. I bought this camera going after its slim design and I thought I made the right decision.
Pictures quality were great and camera was so sleek. After 6 months suddenly now then I'm getting "Len's cover Error". I don't know what is the problem. Same problem happened to couple of my friends also.
I'm not sure is this a common problem with Nikon or I was lucky enough to get the defective piece.
Digital camera Review: An awesome camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my new S50 and left the next day on an extended trip. Having upgraded from a Coolpix 4300, I found the S50's picture quality stunning. The 3" viewing screen is easy to use for framing shots as well as viewing the results in all except the strongest direct sunlight on it. The menu options, while extensive, are easy to understand for various shooting options, although I use the manual to understand the less-often-used features. While I miss the ability to use a viewfinder as well as the view screen for composing pictures, the 3" display is so vivid and clear, and the camera such a convenient size, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. The interface cable allows you to plug into a USB port or the video/audio ports of a TV. It and the battery charger fit nicely into my travel backpack. I have ordered a spare battery as the 3" display uses some juice. I found I had to recharge the battery every night (I was shooting a lot of pictures and showing them off). I also recommend a slim case to prevent scratching the display screen. I put in a 2 Gb card and at fairly high resolution it looks like I can shoot 600 to 800 shots.
This is a great product, it takes great, crystal clear pictures which crop and blow up well.

Summary: 5 Stars
I was generally happy with my Sony. So long as I was using it outside. I had issues using it in low light situations. I purchased this camera for my niece as a graduation gift. She let me play with it a little one evening. I took some pictures of my spastic boy in a low light setting. WOW! The pictures were as clear as they would have been had I taken them during the day with sunlight coming in the windows. And even though he was in constant motion, there was no motion blur. I did however have to press the button a little ahead of his actions, the red-eye flash caused the reaction to be a bit delayed, but my son is a ham and was always posing.
THE GOOD
* Small - I really like the idea of having a small pocket sized camera. I know that there are cameras that can take better quality pictures, but if it is a pain to carry around what good is quality when I miss a great shot all together? The cases sold for digital cameras are all too large, and don't pocket well. I suggest trying other options, I've used a memory card case for my Sony and for my niece I went to the office supply store and found it fit perfectly in a business card holder. This way the unit was protected and still fit in her pocket. The screen protector I applied seems to stay on pretty well.
* Fantastic Low Light Pictures - I am still playing with the settings to see if I can get a faster reaction when I shoot.
* My niece loves the black - And the finish does not attract fingerprints. I also found it in brown through ritz camera and red at circuit city.
THE SO-SO
* The red-eye is still there. I have never had much luck with the red-eye reducing flash on any camera, there is always red-eye when using it anyways. On this Nikon, however, I am finding it difficult to turn the red-eye flash off. The in-camera red-eye fix is not explained very well in the manual. I think it only works if it is in Portrait mode. The camera is supposed to automatically detect the red-eye and fix it. The manual does not explain if I need to tell the camera to look for the red-eye in a photo or if the camera just does it, in which case I wouldn't have known if red-eye was an issue in the photo or not. Personally, I would have like to see a before and after with the automatic red-eye detection.
* Changing the settings is quite confusing and hard to remember how to do again. For some settings you have to go through a few menus. For other settings, such as the sports or fireworks programs, you need to make certain the camera is set in the scene mode first.
THE BAD
* I haven't found anything too terrible. I am pretty proficient with my editing software and so long as the picture is clear, I can fix most anything. The red-eye fix in my software works better than any point, click and auto-fix in most software.
Digital camera Review: Coolpix

This camera was purchased for my son. He was very pleased with this camera. It takes great pictures even when you zoom in. The large screen is fabulous. Many men have commented on the large size as a plus. It is definitely a great man camera as my son says. I took it on a trip to Italy and got some amazing pictures. Great price...great camera.
