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

Compact Easy to Use Camera

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 »

Canon's A495 - Lean & Mean style

byHoward_Creech Jan 7, 2011
54 Helpfuls 55 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, very good pictures
Cons None at this price
Recommended it? Yes

The Canon Powershot A495 is a compact digicam available on-line for less than ninety dollars. What do buyers have to give up when they buy an A495?  The A495 doesn’t provide an optical viewfinder, relying instead on the 2.5 inch LCD for framing/composition, captured image review, and...

Low-cost, basic point-n-shoot camera with good video

bydenniskly Oct 4, 2010

Pros Inexpensive, good pictures, easy to use, good video
Cons poor battery consumption,  too long to load flash for next shot, shuttle realease...
Recommended it? Yes

Although I already have a compact camera(Canon G11), it’s still too bulky to carry around, so, I look for a sub-compact camera that can be easily put into a pocket, a basic, no-frill, point-n-shoot and has to be cheap. After a long search I come up with a $99 Canon Powershot A495. I've been... Read full review »
