Digital camera reviews of Nikon Coolpix S50 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom (Black)
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.
Digital camera Review: It has everything.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second Nikon camera, and it is absolutely amazing. The pictures are of great quality and the shutter speed is fast, so you don't miss a second. This camera has amazing features such as creating a slideshow with your own music uploaded from your computer as well as great video quality in its compact size. I love the 3 inch lcd screen which displays everything brightly. I strongly recommend this camera.Digital camera Review: Potential King of the Compacts
Summary: 5 Stars
Nikon's two newest 3" LCD entries have a tough act to follow, the very popular S7c. The first of these two is the S50. Nice sized camera that easily fits a pocket or purse. But here's what really makes it stand out:
1) Good quality 3x optical periscoping lens with true VR. The periscoping feature means the lens zooms inside the camera body, not outside. This protects the lens from damage if dropped or accidently turned on while in a case (or restricted area like a purse or pocket). The VR is of the optical shift variety, which is far superior to the "anti-blur" modes that simply boost the ISO. But this camera can also go to ISO 1600, getting the best of both worlds;
2) Large 3 inch screen you can see reasonably well at poor angels (such as when holding the camera at low angles or above your head), and better than average outside (at least well enough to take your photographs);
3) Reasonably prices accessories. Nikon reasonable? Yes. Nikon is very reasonable on additional batteries and replacement items. Additionally, they use the SD memory cards, the easiest to find and the most price competitive out there;
4) Great in camera editing. No, it's not a PC-in-a-camera, but it does allow the best in camera editing of any point-and-shoot digital. The D-Lighting is particularly good as saving photos where the important areas are too dark without washing out the light areas.
I also prefer the black finish of the S50 to the silver finish of the S50c. The latter camera features a wireless capability that will not be useful to most, for about $50 more.
Digital camera Review: great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera has great quality it has an awesome 3 inch screen and very light has many modes to chose from for picture taking hope you like it when you get yours Digital camera Review: Just bought this in Tokyo -- Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
We just visited a camera shop in Tokyo (in Shibuya). We tried almost all the cameras and this was our favorite. The salesman told us it had just come in and gone on sale today. Superb set of features, very nice in the hand. We shot a bunch of pictures under artificial lights and in the streets at night and they all look wonderful. Highly recommend you give this camera a look if you are in the market for a small, full feature digital pocket camera.
