My husband and I wanted to purchase a new digital camera before we have our first child in December. We had previously owned a Nikon Coolpix (although it is now terribly outdated) and have had really good experiences with it. The photos always turned out really well and it was easy for us to use...

Pros Image quality, portability, ease of use, durability, and reliability.
Cons Modest battery life (but not surprising due to compact size).
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Nikon Coolpix S550 in September 2008 to replace a faulty Canon Powershot A620. I wanted a camera that was reliable, portable, and easy to use - the S550 has been that and more.

I have taken the camera to Europe and China; and have used it to photograph roadtrips in a variety of... Read full review »

Coolpix S550 is GREAT

bywmcot May 5, 2009

Pros Super clear LCD display and optics. Loads of features.
Cons You might want a spare battery and they are pricey
Recommended it? Yes

The Nikon Coolpix S550 Digital camera is a GREAT camera.  The first thing that you will notice is the incredible sharpness of the large LCD display!  It is one of the best displays I've seen and THE best in this price range.

The lens optics are extremely good.  Photos have a crisp sharp... Read full review »

Superb new camera, Nikon does it again!

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, excellent image quality, great value, small, very good video
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

We've had the camera for two weeks, and have already taken 1000+ pictures. With a Sandisk SDHC 4GB Extreme III memory card, the camera is very fast, takes 15+ pictures in continuous mode before having to take a break to save, and even that only lasts for a few seconds. Excellent image quality,... Read full review »

Pros It's sleek, light weight and attractive.
Cons It offers SO many options = difficult to manuever.
Recommended it? No

My husband surprised me with this camera for Christmas 2008. 

It's very attractive - sleek, light weight, overall good looking.

It's pretty easy to use.  I'm not one for manuals and instructions.  I like to test, try and shoot with my cameras.  It was fairly easy to do this. ... Read full review »

Takes nice pictures but too small

Pros Easy to Use, Lightweight, Compact
Cons too small
Recommended it? Yes

Bought this to replace a Nikon Coolpix 1600.  Camera takes nice pictures but is way to small for anyone with large hands.  Battery lasts a good amount of time as long as you remember to keep it charged.  Read full review »

I wanted an upgrade from my Kodak EasyShare digital camera> I wanted more megapixels that would yield better, sharper pictures and I wanted to maintain the ease of use that I had with the Kodak EasySare and I wanted reliability with product name recognition.  I surveyed the inventory at a local...
