Digital camera reviews of Nikon Coolpix S50c 7.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom and Wifi Capable
Digital camera Review: Almost perfect!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd love to give this camera a 5-star, but just can't quite yet. So the best I can do is a 4.5. I won't extol on all the great features, because everybody else does such a great job. Instead, let me just point out a couple of minor inconveniences, at least for me.
I would like to see the on/off button recessed a little more. I find myself accidently turning it on whenever I'm handling it (maybe it's just my big hands). Also, in the form fitting Coolpix case designed for it, the case itself is tight against the on/off button, also turning it on. I pulled it out one time just to see the unit already turned on, with an exhausted battery warning on the screen. The camera was quite warm. I've since switched to a generic case.
The camera feels slippery in my hands. I think a finely brushed look would be nice. That would give a little more secure feeling while still keeping it's good looks.
One of the major selling points for me was the WI-FI feature. But then that's my fault for not reading the reviews, or I would have seen that it will not connect to the PC via WI-FI, which is why I bought it. Maybe some day a firmware upgrade will change this.
The battery/SD card cover is very flimsy, at best. Be very careful when opening, and especially closing, as it can close crookedly. It has a high chance of breaking off.
All this being said, I still think this is a great camera, and not once have I thought of returning it.
Digital camera Review: Amazed!

This camera is the best bang for you buck, and for the so-called "tech" who had problems setting this camera up - its just nonsense. This camera couldn't be easier to setup and operate. Everyone should own this camera.Digital camera Review: Can't Get a Good Low Light Picture
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this camera because of the large rear LCD viewer, and because I had a Coolpix 4300 that took Great shots. I'm ready to sell this S50c now. I cannot get true color in lower light indoors, even with the low light settings. The pictures come out blurred and yellow. I lost an important evening event because all the pictures were blurry, too dark or grainy. This camera is not easy to navigate either. Really sorry I bought it. Not recommended.Digital camera Review: Coolpix camera

I purchased this as a gift for my wife. She loves it, slim compact design, all the features you would expect for a quality digital camera. The photos taken with this camera are outstanding quality.Digital camera Review: Defective

Price was right. Item shipped very quickly. However, it was defective and returned. Seller provided no customer service. Manufacturer provided no assistance. Happy with subsequent purchase Panasonic Lumix TZ3,
