Pros Compact, solid, easy to use, great pictures.
Cons Proprietary battery, flimsy battery/memory card door.

When looking for a new camera, we wanted something small, easy to use, and that took good pictures. The Nikon Coolpix S500 was a great choice.

We wanted something small so that it would be easy to carry. Although we usually carry it in a dedicated camera case, the S500 is tiny enough to... Read full review »

Poor low-light performance

bygajozinho Apr 20, 2008

Pros Looks
Cons Poor low light and high ISO performance - extreme noise
Recommended it? No

There is more to hate about this camera than to like about it, especially given the price tag. In short, unless your lighting conditions are superb, you will be disappointed every single time.

Pros Easy to Use, Compact, Great Design
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

The latest as of now in the Inter Changeable lense cameras....the GF2 strikes out as one of the most compact of them all. Amongst other things the GF2 has touchscreen controls, 1920x1080 HD movie mode etc.

So how did my images turn out? Pretty good! For everyone who's naturally afraid... Read full review »
