We bought the Nikon Coolpix s50 recently after spending a few weeks browsing in stores and onlines at the multitude of slim ultraportable digital cameras. We finally settled on the Coolpix s50 because of it's formfactor, functionality, and picture quality.

The s50 is a 7.2 megapixel... Read full review »

Nikon Just Can't get it Right

Pros Small, skips easily on a lake surface!
Cons Poor focus, mediocre speed, soft optics, requires expensive Nikon batteries.
Recommended it? No

See my reviews of the 8800 and the more recent models such as the S1. I am a huge DSLR Nikon fan, but Nikon continues to make awful P&S consumer models. I can't believe that over the years they have no done better.

Handling
Much like the S1, slim, harder to hold for big hands... Read full review »

GREAT camera, except............ no optical viewfinder. I narrowed my choices down to this camera and the Canon Powershot SD550 Digital ELPH. I bought the Nikon and it worked great...indoors. I went to the beach at lunchtime (yeah I can do that) to test it out in bright sunlight and could barely... Read full review »

I bought the coolpix S5 before a trip to England and Ireland. We were attending my stepson's wedding and I am not the best photographer. I did not have to be. The pictures I took were excellent. The camera was easy to use and the large viewing screen was easy on my 50 eyes. I would recommend this... Read full review »

Not impressed

Pros Sleek design, large LCD, tiny size, setting options
Cons Short battery life, splotchy grainy pictures, difficult menu
Recommended it? No

Ritz Camera loves to push this camera, so I fell for it. I wanted a small camera to throw in my purse, and I didn't want to spend over $250. The Nikon S50 fits both those criteria. I can put this one in my purse, but I never bother because I don't want the pictures it produces. They are terrible. I... Read full review »

First bought this camera as a gift for my mother, after playing around with it and seeing how clear the pictures turned out, I decided to get one of my own.

This camera takes clear, sharp pictures. Has a 6.0 mp and not only can it take pictures but you can use it to take mini movies. Both... Read full review »
