Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera

Available in several appealing colors, the Nikon Coolpix S550 is small, efficient, and most importantly, easy to use. Capturing highly detailed 10 megapixel images with its 5x Zoom-Nikkor lens, taking photos is as much a pleasure as viewing them. Better still, the Nikon Coolpix S550 has built-in smile and blink warnings, cutting down on the number of non-keeper photos taken, and the huge 2.5-inch LCD makes framing and reviewing photos easy as pie. With image stabilization and in-camera red-eye correction, there’s little stopping you from making every picture… well, picture perfect.

My husband and I wanted to purchase a new digital camera before we have our first child in December.
