Summary: Amazing Wide Angle
Comment: Let me just say that a lot of people are saying images are grainy and seems limited.. They are wrong!
I used this with ISO 2000 and captured fan on high speed and it captured it crystal clear in it's tracks.
I have also heard that images are noisy, although do they question why? If you take time to read the manual
this camera can cover just about any situation you can throw at it. If the aperture indicator is red guess what? Something is wrong...not enough light so change dial or your aperture and wait for green.
People now days want everything so simple and have no patience. Do you think Ansel Adams got his pics on the first try? No it was trial and error. If you practice first then take to party,club or vacation then you will know exactly what mode to use and go from there.
It can retain your settings in Manual and Program mode. Like having two presets for yourself. Has High ISO setting for almost pitch black pics. No where near as good as Nightshot from Sony but hey do you really want Green Photos?
If you actually spend more than 60 minutes with this you will have no excuse not taking Amazing Photos!!!
Amateur to Serious Hobbyist should be more than satisfied with this has more than enough modes to handle almost anything.
Now Most Amazing part..You simply cannot touch a Compact or even Semi-Pro model under Almost$300 with Wide-angle Lens 24-28mm most always have 34-38mm. What's the difference?
Well say your with your family at dinner in a nice restaurant. How far do you wanna back up before you can get everyone in the picture? Well most Point and Shoot and Compacts have the 34-38mm and you will
definitely chop someone off or try to zoom and lose everyone accept Center Focus. Well with 24-28mm
you can now get the whole table and not lose anyone! See quite a nice feature for under$200.
Last this has a mode almost no one knows about unless you read manual or experiment. Has Auto Face Detection that everyone seems to be wanting. You know when you have group of people and centers on the closest face and aligns the rest in synch? It has this. Wanna make Voice memo where you were while taking pic? You can do it with this. How many times did you say man where were we when we took that? Oh yeah..Wait..no not there. Well now just record your voice and say family vacation in St Tropez june 1st Beach and viola you now know exactly where you were and when pic was taken.
People just take the time to Read and Explore and Give this camera a Fair Shake It will Amaze you. Once Again!! If you take the time and do a little experimenting with it. I wouldn't want you to miss out on an Amazing Camera because people that don't take time to read or know how to properly use miss rate or review this product!

Summary: Great pictures - cumbersome design
Comment: I had a coolpix 4200 forever and I absolutely LOVED this camera. When it broke I needed to replace it and really wanted to have the same features. This was one of the few cameras with a view finder - so I got this one. I wound up returning it though. The images the camera took were great - but I found the feel of the camera to be cumbersome and it ATE the batteries. I am still searching for a good replacement.

Summary: Sweet little point and shoot
Comment: This camera has the three things I wanted most in a point-and-shoot:
1) Wide-angle lens (~28mm film equivalent)
2) Optical viewfinder
3) Use common AA batteries
So far I've been quite happy with it, the only small cons would be startup delay and shutter lags, and the odd (for me) "micro" USB connection for downloads.
I bought the P50 as a replacement to a 3MP Sony digital P&S which has a 35mm equivalent fixed lens. (Who needs a zoom? The 35mm Elmar was Cartier-Bresson's favorite lens. If it's good enough for him...) But sadly, no one makes a non-zoom digital P&S anymore.
My other cameras include a Nikon D200 DSLR and a Leica M2 (film). The P50 doesn't come close to those, of course, but the P50 is what it is--a great little point-and-shoot. Time will tell how durable it is, but so far the P50 appears to be a good value at its price point.
