Nikon Coolpix S550 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom (Cool Blue) Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: CoolPiX S550 the Ultimate
Comment: This camera is more than you can imagine packed in a small package. I love the features I have used and let 3 people hold it that ending up purchasing this camera. My only drawback is the size. It is small and handles well, but I am so afraid of missing the case or my pocket and losing it. The optical Zoom is a bomb. I have a popular digital SLR, but I am hooked on this camera for performance and convenience. I recommend for beginners or pros.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 8GB Card?
Comment: Anyone tried an 8GB card in this camera? It looks like from the Nikon site that 4GB is the max but on some of the card sites they seem to say it will take an 8GB card. Can't find any concrete info.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not good indoors!
Comment: I bought this, because I have always loved Nikons, and my DSLR is a nikon, and I absolutely love it! SO I bought this, because of the reviews, but I must say that I was extremely disappointed! All the pictured I took in the house were either badly out of focus, or VERY grainy. I am sending it back to Amazon, and hope to find something that takes good pictured inside and outside.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Pictures, Very compact and lightweight
Comment: This camera is everything I was looking for. It takes very good quality pictures! Even on a moving train, it was able to capture scenery and animals. The only reason I only gave it four stars is because it does take a little while to snap the picture, so you might miss it. Also, it's makes too much noise when taking the picture. You definately can't be sneaky. But all in all, I'm thrilled with this camera and will highly recommend it.

Summary: Don't buy this camera if you want clear, sharp photos.
Comment: I purchased this camera to take on vacation because 1) it was small and light weight, 2) it had a 5x optical zoom, and 3) it had a high ISO option that should allow it to take photos in less than perfect light.
I found that yes, it was small and light weight; yes, it would zoom in closer than my old camera; but no, it did not take better photos in less than perfect light.
NONE of the photos taken with this camera are as clear and sharp as those I took with my old Kodak point-and-shoot. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I could not get a clear, sharp photo with this camera no matter what I tried. They all looked something like an impressionistic painting -- not what I was going for. Can I return it?

Be it for movie or still images, the thin Nikon Coolpix S550 offers an enthralling experience with pictures of incredibly fine detail. Sleek, easy to use, the S550 has image stabilization and a long 5x zoom range. Go for Coolpix S550. It makes sense.
