Digital camera Review: Great compact camera.
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded from my Canon G3 which was 4 years old and still works fine. I wanted something more compact so I decided to try out the Nikon S50. Wel initially I found alot of shots turning out grainy. I then got a feel for the lens and the autofocus. This camera takes comparable pictures to my G3 and Nikon is famous for its sharper images which I care for. The macro function results in breathtaking shots. The movie mode is very close to video camera quality. I took it to a wedding and around Las Vegas and was minimally disappointed. All camera's take blurry shots from time to time but that is the user's fault. I highly recommend this camera.Digital camera Review: Great for what it is, but not perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned about a dozen digital cameras, and thought that when I bought a Nikon D70 with a good lens, I would never need another one. However, I decided that sometimes it would be nice to have a small, good quality, pocket size camera as a companion for the D70, especially in places where I did not really want to lug around a big camera like the D70; like boating and motorcycling and bad weather.
So I bought a S50, and I am very happy with it, realizing it has some limitations. I read the manual, and like most cameras, about 90% of the feature set is not important to me. I just get it out, adjust the zoom, and use it. Picture quality is very good, ease of use is great.
Three drawbacks, none of which is a showstopper:
1. Battery life is very short. You need some extra batteries. Sorry, Amazon, but you can find some no name batteries on eBay for about $5 each, and they seem to work as well as the Nikon branded ones. I recommend carrying two extras if you are planning a lot of photos especially if the flash is going to be used.
2. This camera does not have a docking unit like other small Nikons. It has a large awkward cable for plugging into the USB port, a cable which is heavy and puts stress on the small proprietary plug on the bottom of the camera. Also, you have to take the battery out to charge it, so you are removing and replacing the battery frequently.
3. Like most small digital cameras, taking outside flash pictures at night is a total waste of time.
But I like this camera, and if I lost it, I would be tempted to buy another one just like it, even though there is some room for improvement. Serves its function well as a backup, not serious camera.
Digital camera Review: Great little camera
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera is small enough that I take it with me and use it (unlike my larger digital SLR). It has plenty of megapixels and preset shooting programs. It took a little getting used to using the 3 inch display rather than an optical view finder, however it works well for both taking and reviewing pictures.Digital camera Review: Great pics, small size, big screen - wireless - good job nikon
Summary: 5 Stars
Great camera - the pics are clean, simple interface, emailing pics wirelessly was a little tricky setting up, but it works well. A large screen is a must, but it's very easy to get scratched up. Tried using those aftermarking films, but finally tossed them because they kept pealing off of it when I put it back in the case.
Macro is a great feature, although it would be nice to be able to zoom further for kids events. The battery charger needs a timer to keep you from overcharging the battery. Am not sure why this is not a built-in feature (a shutoff timer for the battery). I did burn out the first one the first week on a business trip, but Nikon is great. They swapped out my battery immediately with a new one, no questions asked.
Excellent customer service, even at 3am EST.
For the price, this is great camera. If you just need quick, clean shots without the fuss, and you can email them wirelessly to anyone, most anywhere. Good job, Nikon.
