The Coolpix S5 has been specially designed to be visually appealing as well as easy to use. The eye-catching wave-surface designs is about more than just great styling--its thin, compact dimensions and form make the Coolpix S5 really comfortable to hold. The Coolpix S5 boasts a one-touch portrait button, conveniently located at the top of the camera body, making it much simpler to take better quality pictures by offering easy access to Nikon's unique Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, and D-Lighting functions. With Face-priority AF, the camera can automatically detect people's faces in the frame, no matter where they are located, to produce sharply focused portraits. Less

Pros Compact, large screen, lightweight, easy to use
Cons Externally charged battery, small gallery view.
Recommended it? Yes

We bought the Nikon Coolpix s50 recently after spending a few weeks browsing in stores and onlines at the multitude of slim ultraportable digital cameras. We finally settled on the Coolpix s50 because of it's formfactor, functionality, and picture quality.

The s50 is a 7.2 megapixel... Read full review »

Nikon Just Can't get it Right

bysailingshot Jul 29, 2006
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, skips easily on a lake surface!
Cons Poor focus, mediocre speed, soft optics, requires expensive Nikon batteries.
Recommended it? No

See my reviews of the 8800 and the more recent models such as the S1. I am a huge DSLR Nikon fan, but Nikon continues to make awful P&S consumer models. I can't believe that over the years they have no done better.

Handling
Much like the S1, slim, harder to hold for big hands... Read full review »

30D vs. 20D? Are the differences worth another purchase?

bysuemccartin Jul 1, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Recommended it? Yes

My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel only has 3 fps which just isn't enough for... Read full review »

Impressions on the CANON EOS 30D : finally mature, but still expensive

Pros Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced...
Cons viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for...
Recommended it? Yes

Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera.
I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore.
Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its... Read full review »
