Digital camera reviews of Nikon Coolpix S550 10 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom (Graphite Black)
Digital camera Review: 2nd Coolpix, great zoom
Summary: 4 Stars
Over triple the MP of my last Coolpix, GREAT zoom, good small easy-to-use camera. Micro has some trouble w/focus at 5" or less, a little patience & a steady hand helps. Battery lasts about 1 hour of continuous use.Digital camera Review: This camera sucks
Summary: 1 Stars
This camera is garbage. I just returned it. First of all, it doesn't come with an SD card, which is unprecedented for this type of ultra-compact consumer camera. Second, when you take out the battery to re-charge it, all of the camera settings including date and time are lost. So, every time you re-charge, you must re-program the camera from scratch. Third, the user interface and controls are very poorly designed and hard to use. Fourth, the feeling is terrible, the controls have a wobbly and low quality feeling. The camera actually takes fantastic pictures, the best I have ever seen from a compact camera, but that doesn't outweigh all the problems. Digital camera Review: Great
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm no camera pro but I sure did research a lot before puchasing a digital camera. I really do love this camera. It is a great compact size and small enough to just stick in my purse or pocket. And a cute color! It takes great pictures outdoors. Nice and crisp and one of the greatest zoom features I have seen (compared to the canon's 3x).
My only hesitation about S550 is the quality of pictures indoors. I havent found the right setting, or one that I like well enough. Often times when I use the scene selection the picture will come out blurry because I'm not holding it still enough. Or the picture will come out yellowy or washed out. I'm sure it does take good pictures indoors, but I haven't found the right setting I like. And I'm sure it all depends on the light setting your in. I just need some more practice on it.
All in all I would recommend it!!
Digital camera Review: A lot of problems
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchase around Mother's Day.
I decided to purchase the Nikon since I have a D50.
To summarize the problems:
Couple weeks after purchase the shutter would not close and the camera would not shut down without taking the battery out. The camera was in repair ( Best Buy) for a month.
Right after I got it back it would not read ANY memory card without taking the card in and out several times or at all. Plus the camera would not shut down again without taking the battery out.
Went back to Best Buy . Had the camera services for the memory card reader error and the shut down. The camera was in service for a month again. Just received the camera back yesterday and again the camera has a problem reading the memory card. So far it is shutting down.
Best Buy's policy is to bring the camera in 4 times before it is considered a lemon. No matter if it is the same problem. I am taking it back to Best Buy today.
Stay away from this camera. The pictures are not nice. My brother purchased a Cannon and it takes a lot better pictures and he has no problem with it.
Hope it helps.
Digital camera Review: great little camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a pocket sized camera that could still have a good zoom and take good pics. This is it! It fits in my pocket and I can still take great snapshots. I have a Canon digital rebel that I use for artsy shots but this is great little camera for everything else.
