Little Camera BIG FEATURES.......2007-06-29

I bought the black color camera. The pictures are excellent, the LCD screen gives you a fantastic view of watch you plan to capture.

The only minuses I find is the charger should have the plug built right into it like the Kodak Easyshare camera does, and the book takes a LOT of reading if you want to really get deep with using the camera. You can smudge the LCD screen alot and you have to watch out where you put your left fingers or esle they'll appear in your photos like a UFO.

But otherwise, it really is about the size of a pack of playing cards.

Great little camera.......2007-06-29

This camera is small enough that I take it with me and use it (unlike my larger digital SLR). It has plenty of megapixels and preset shooting programs. It took a little getting used to using the 3 inch display rather than an optical view finder, however it works well for both taking and reviewing pictures.

Great Gift (again).......2007-06-27

I bought this camera to replace a five year old, broken Nikon Coolpix that had been a gift to a friend. The new model is so much better due to the continuing advances in technology. This one is hard to beat!

DO NOT PURCHASE!!!.......2007-06-26

I bought this camera about 3 weeks ago, and have used it a total of about 4 times. It might take great photos, but after only a few uses, I discovered an internal error in my camera. Much to my surprise, I thought by paying more money for a camera, it would be of better quality--but truth be told, it was not. The camera started malfunctioning by automatically shutting off after a picture was taken--ON A CHARGED BATTERY, and then it would randomly turn on and shoot pictures like it was possessed. I'm returning it tomorrow

Good camera if you can avoid the white spots!.......2007-06-23

I already have an extended zoom Kodak Z612 so I was looking for a small pocket friendly camera for casual occasions. Did a lot of research and based on good experience with an S1 when I bought it for a friend over a year ago I decided to go with this stylish new S50, afterall the feature set is great!

Nikon's legendary lens in a compact stylish all metal body and a birght beautiful 3" LCD to boot, not to mention Optical/Electronic VR! I thought I'd finally found my match, so I thought.

I had this camera for about a week and managed to shoot 280 pictures in three graduation ceremonies in varying light conditions.

The camera really shined during daylight and dusk pictures! The "Dusk" scene mode beautifully captures the purple/red hues in the horizon. The "Night Portrait" outperformed my Kodak and captured beautiful skin tones. Overall pictures are softer than those of say, Canon PowerShot SD series but about the same detail level as Kodak Z612. Also, I found the Face Detection feature to work fine but sometimes it would hesitate as much as 2-3 seconds before detecting a face even when subject was looking straight in the lens.

Shooting performance is a bit on the slow side but should satisfy most casual shooters. Auto Focus does hunt from time to time specially in low light which is common in compact cameras.

What really put me off though was the 3rd. set of pictures I shot at a ceremony. They were full of varying levels of white spots all over them! I had once before experienced something like this with a Canon S400 a couple of years ago but that was nothing close to the problem on this camera. Mind you, it only happens when using flash and under specific circumstances which I have been unable to figure out.

Contacted Nikon who were not really helpful and couldn't really explain it to me. So I did my own reasearch on the net and it appears its might be some light from the flash bouncing off the lens internally.

Either way the slower than average performance had me on the fence already and ruining one of my most important set of pictures ever left me with a single choice, to take it back to BestBuy...

I replaced it with the Sony DSC-T100, my first Sony digital camera in nearly 6 years which I have to say I'm delighted with. It has much faster performance, has a 5X zoom lens, has a more advanced Face Detection (Varies the AF, AE and the Flash intensity which S50 doesn't) and is a bit smaller than the Nikon. In defense of Nikon S50, it uses SD cards and has more scene modes.

So if you are considering this camera, do buy it and try it! It might have been that my model was defective and the white spots issue isn't wide spread but if you are on the fence between this camera and the sony DSC-T100 don't even think about it twice, get the Sony.

But overall I'd still recommend the S50 for specific reasons I already explained above and hopefully your model won't be defective like mine.

Not The best Camera.......2007-05-31

Love it when it works, had to send it in twice already for repair. Would not buy a small Nikon again, love my SLR though from Nikon. You get what you pay for.

not worth it........2007-05-29

i got my camera back in february of 2007, and have been using it on and off. i also experienced the image stabilization problem, however, and the flash goes crazy sometimes. however the WORST problem happened today, when i was outside taking a picture like normal and the LCD screen just went completely black on me. any subsequent pictures i took all came out black, although i could view the previous pictures with no problem. i have since spent about three hours googling the problem and reading up on what others have to say, and it turns out nikon has this recurring problem with many of its models. most people have had to buy new cameras because the repairs cost about 180 dollars, unless you have a model which is covered under the service advisory that nikon put out regarding this issue. unfortunately, the s6 is NOT covered.

i gave this camera two stars because it was fine while it lasted. it wasn't the greatest, but it definitely screamed sleek and beautiful. i will not be make the mistake of buying another nikon camera again, however.

I love this camera!.......2007-03-30

I have seen and worked with other digital cameras, and became boggled quite easily with all the options... not to say this one doesn't have them...
but, really, there are only a few buttons on the camera, and each one of them can get you to everything you need! I was a little scared with setting up the software to download my photos, and it was easy too! Everything was neatly spelled out for me, and extremely friendly. I use my camera every day, and I can get some fabulous up close photos of all the flowers in my garden, including any bugs inside, with the macro option, which is also a breeze to use! Buying and shipping were easy, too!

Focus issues.......2007-02-25

So far, I like the camera and the quality of the pictures. Once you get used to the red eye flash going off numerous times before actually taking the picture (and possibly losing the moment) it's pretty neat. The screen is awsome! SO clear! Some of the scene settings DO require a tripod as the shutter speeds are a lot slower and thus can result in some shake. The one thing I am really not happy with is the macro feature. I love to take close up shots of insects, flowers and even nail art etc, but this has a very annoying feature: the camera focuses CONSTANTLY (in out, in out, in out) like it's having a convulsion or something. You have to try and grab the best focus (shot) when it is "doing its thing" and 9/10, the pic is blurred. I wish there was a way to just shut that off and focus it manually. It's pointless having the ability of a macro shot of as close as 1.6" if it's out of focus cause the camera can't make it's *&^%#$% mind up what it's doing! I AM going to write to Nikon and see if they can off any suggestions on this. Maybe there is some firmware that can be downloaded to fix it. I dunno. Other than that, I am very pleased with my purchase and WOULD recommend it!

Exactly what is expected from a Nikon product.......2007-02-13

The pictures are sharp and the colors are true. The extra large viewer is the envy of our friends. The only thing missing from this camera is image stabilization. It goes everywhere that we go, you know, we don't leave home without it.

Very small & includes optical vibration reduction.......2007-07-03

I believe this is one of the smallest cameras on the market with optical vibration reduction (VR). I have a VR lens on my larger camera and find it invaluable and now consider it a must have feature. It also has a very fast startup/shutter response and the stainless steel exudes a quality feel.

I own a Nikon D80 DSLR and was looking for a small P&S to use when taking the larger camera along wasn't practical. Although it has very little advanced controls I believe it is exactly what I needed. I also like that it has a more powerful flash than most other cameras in its class.

..........2007-05-26

I love this camera, for the price.. had it for a couple months now, and overall it's great for a compact digital camera... only negative is that I still manage to get blurred images sometimes, unless I'm completely not moving or using a tripod. Otherwise, it takes very clear, lush and detailed pictures with true to life colors, and doesn't seem to burn through batteries as easily as other cameras I've had in years past, and has a lot of nice features. The Red Eye redux and direct to TV/computer works wonderfully... it's pretty fast in recovery time... and it does an excellent job in self adjusting to the light situation, no matter what it may be.

Nice size and display but disappointed with the image quality.......2007-05-16

I bought one from Costco and already returned it after one week. 50% of the pictures taken outdoor were blurred, maybe from handshake. The VR is probably not effective per Hiram's review. Otherwise, it is pretty nice and solid camera. The video quality is pretty good. Interface is good. I just found out another colleague had bought one too and he is complaining about the blurred image issue. I am now considering the Nikon S50.

Great.......2007-05-15

I loved this camera very handy and small, I'm a photographer and it was great to have on hand for fun shooting. (that is till I lost it two weeks later on a flight!) Don't leave things on your seat you won't get them back!

Solid performer, but misleading "VR".......2007-04-22

The Coolpix S200 is a solid entry in the compact digital field. It's sleek good looks and solid construction make it very appealing. However, it's the first Coolpix to use the VR designation that uses "digital" VR instead of the proven and preferable lens shift and CCD shift VR.

On the positive side, it uses a reliable lithium-ion battery system, and Nikon is much more reasonable than many brands on accessories such as batteries. The SD card choice makes it a bit easier to find cards at reasonalbe prices and in remote locations than some of its competitors.

A solid camera, but nothing you can't get for less in other brands.
