Top Nikon Coolpix S50 Camera Reviews
Imaging Resource wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix S50 and said: "Zoom isn't smooth, jumping in
small but discrete steps through the optical range and more
slowly through digital zoom. I found myself pressing the Nikon
S50's Zoom lever harder and harder to speed it up, but it isn't
an accelerator. It's even worse in Movie mode, stuttering
through the zoom in jarring steps."
Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix S50 and said: "Image quality was average at
best, with image noise visible on shots even at the minimum of
100 ISO, and visible compression artefacts in pictures even at
the maximum quality setting. While exposure was generally
accurate, colour reproduction was a bit under-saturated and
generally lacked contrast."
Nikon Coolpix S50 News Release Summary:
The COOLPIX S50 is as Stunning as the Pictures it Takes
MELVILLE, NY (February 19, 2007) – Nikon has added two new
stylish and feature-packed digital cameras to the Nikon COOLPIX
Style Series line-up, the S50. This camera combines enhanced
imaging quality and performance with an eye-catching wave
surface design. The COOLPIX S50 boasts 7.2 effective megapixels,
a 3x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens and a huge, bright 3.0 inch LCD
screen. These cameras also utilize an Optical VR Image
Stabilization system, ensuring the consumer will be able to
capture stunningly sharp images.
“The COOLPIX S50 combines technologies that are Nikon hallmarks:
exquisite design coupled with superior optics and high
resolution with advanced picture taking functions that allow
anyone to take great pictures, ” says Bill Giordano, General
Manager Marketing, COOLPIX for Nikon Inc.
Bye-bye blur
Not only does the COOLPIX S50 feature 7.2 effective megapixels,
allowing the consumer to make superior quality prints in a
variety of sizes, they also incorporate advanced technologies
which help create new opportunities to take sharper, and more
natural looking photos. These technologies include the new
Optical VR Image Stabilization, high sensitivity up to ISO 1600,
and Best Shot Selector (BSS) which can all be activated by
pressing the Anti-Shake Button, conveniently located on the top
of the camera. These features allow the S50 to produce shots
that are steady, sharp and stunning.
Beauty with brains
Nikon is making it easier than ever to get great-looking
pictures with a handy One-Touch Portrait Button that acts as a
shortcut to three Nikon In-Camera Image Innovations to correct
common photo problems. This system includes Face-priority AF,
which was the first system to automatically find and focus on a
subject’s face, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which automatically
detects and corrects red-eye, and D-Lighting, an innovation that
automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added
where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely
untouched. These cameras also feature huge, bright, high
resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitors with a 170-degree viewing angle
and an anti-reflection coating, so they are able to facilitate
easier composition and high-quality playback anywhere, even in
direct sunlight.
Furthermore, the LCD monitors serve as excellent platforms for
Pictmotion™, which allows users to select their favorite images
or movies, as well as music (up to 10 songs) and combine them
automatically in-camera to produce audiovisual shows in VGA
quality for the ultimate photo-sharing experience.
Going Wireless
The COOLPIX S50 comes bundled with Nikon's PictureProject
software. The PictureProject software is powerful and
user-friendly and makes transferring, organizing, editing, and
sharing photos a snap.
The COOLPIX S50 will be available nationwide in April 2007. The
S50 has a MSRP of $299.95. For more information about these and
