Summary: Great camera
Comment: I am a photographer and was looking for something smaller and lighter than my big DSLR - and the wide angle is nice along with the manual exposure controls ive had it for a couple of months and the only problem Im having is that i cant find the battery meter. And as far as battery consumption, It ate though the batteries that came with it pretty fast but ive done heavy shooting on regular alkaline batteries and they seem to last and last.

Summary: This little camera has it all
Comment: There are so many features on the Nikon Coolpix P50 that it's virtually as versatile as shooting with your old Nikon SLR. The picture quality is excellent. I like the digital photos downloaded from this camera much better than the snapshots I scanned into my computer. In order to use all its features to the max, I'd suggest the beginner (like myself) take a class in digital photography so you don't miss out on all the stuff this camera can do. I love this camera.

Summary: I love this camera
Comment: I always wanted an SLR, but I haven't had the money to but it and I chose this option to be closer to what I want. I used to have a Nikon Coolpix, really old, 9 or 10 years ago and always had a very good memory of that camera and this one didn't dissapoint me, I really and truly love it.
Has a great resolution and the pictures have great definition and almost no grain if you use the features correctly. I tried to photograph a sunset with the landscape feature and then remembered the camera has a scene for sunsets and used it and the photo look awsome, no grain at all and the colors are amazing. Great for closeups to, took a lot of flower photos.

Summary: Good camera at a great price
Comment: The Nikon Coolpix P50 was the first Nikon camera I have purchased. In the past I have purchased Canon digital cameras, but the last couple I purchased seemed to have short lifespans. A Realtor in my same office purchased this Nikon about 9 months ago and really liked the pictures she was able to get. I borrowed it and felt the same way. The price was a big factor in the purchase as well.[...]
I need a point and shoot camera. This was the only point and shoot that also has wide angle lens for anywhere near this price range. Wide angle is just better for Real Estate pictures. While the wide angle isn't huge it is a vast improvement over those camera without it. I find it especially useful for indoor shots. It doesn't make the various rooms look smaller than they are. Outside shots are OK, but they are certainly not the professional looking shots you can get with a very expensive camera and lens. For the price this thing can't be beat. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great quality lower end camera that does a real good job for a point and shoot model.

Summary: Great buy, fun camera
Comment: I can only rate this four star because I own a Nikon D200/D70 with all the bells and whistles. This small compact camera works great! The top feature is the wider angle 28mm lens, most point and shoots are 35mm and up, so you have that handy wider angle feature. The movie mode is easy fast and looks great for what it is. The photos are sharp and blow up well. I use this when I go out to dinner or family small gatherings, and it works OK for candid shots. I set the color on vivid, normal resolution, and toggle between auto and manual. The macro mode is pretty darn good. All around its a great value under $100.
