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

Digital shutterbugs have been patiently waiting for Canon's update of the outstanding Powershot S1 IS, and their wait is over – the S2 IS is finally here. The S1 IS was incredibly popular because of its fast image stabilized USM 10x zoom lens, its best in class movie mode, its compact SLR like...

After getting my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5, I started having doubts if maybe Canon PowerShot S2 IS was the way to go. The only way to find out was to buy the Canon S2 IS and compare it with my Panasonic FZ5. So I purchased the Canon S2 IS and after using and comparing the two, I chose to keep the...

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...

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...
