Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon Coolpix S50 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom (Black)
Customer Review: Good picture quality, poor manufacture
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this camera because I have always been a big fan of Nikon cameras and thought they take great pictures.
Well, I am not disappointed at the pictures, they look so much better than the one were taken from my husband's Casio camera (in my opinion).
But after a few months of using it, the problems started to come one after another. The camera would just automatically turn on in my purse causing the battery to die quickly, which does not have a very long life anyway (long enough to take pictures in one day if you are lucky). And the 2 silver pieces on two sides fell off. And one day the lens cover got stuck half way and I could not do anything with it, couldn't turn it off, couldn't turn it on, and I removed the battery but that didn't help either.
But it seems like a lot of people complain about the same things so obviously mine is not the only one to have these issues.
I'm still using it right now after I fixed it myself, and still happy with the way the pictures look, but I would not recommend it to anyone since it's not worth it for this price

Had camera for just over a year just stopped working ( out of warranty ) by 1 month wanted more to fix than i could get a newer Model No more Nikon Point N Shoots Checked on line Not the only this has happen toCustomer Review: great camera for your pocket
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used this camera almost every day for 3 years and have carried it in my pocket. When I dropped it from a rooftop and needed another camera I ordered the same one because I like it so much. I like the small size (to fit in a picket)and the fact that the lense does not extend out from the body of the camera. All other cameras with extending lenses have malfunctioned after a few months.
It takes great pictures even on the 3mp setting that I use.
Customer Review: You will want to carry this camera everywhere
Summary: 5 Stars
For a pocket camera that you will want to carry everywhere, this is a great choice. My complaints are (1) shutter lag and (2) the lack of depth of field in landscape shots; my SLR makes up for the S50's flaws.
The S50 is easy to use and great for family gatherings. My prints always look better than what similarly-priced pocket cameras take in the same settings.
The museum setting is one of my favorites. It works very in cathedrals and museums. I used a tripod and the museum setting to take photos of a night-time light show last summer -- beautiful results! I don't think my SLR would have done any better.
Customer Review: Great size, but at the expense of picture quality
Summary: 3 Stars
PROS: the worst picture is the one not taken, and with it's size you can always have this camera with you. The large rear-screen is nice. the camera has a ton of features and settings, so many that it takes some time to scroll through them to find the right one for lighting conditions. CONS: It is not really "point and shoot", if you have a fast moving subject or challenging lighting conditions, you have to take some time to find the proper settings, or you get a blurred or grainy picture. the large screen pushes the control panel to one side, which is then difficult to grip without hitting a button unwillingly.
