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...

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.
I bought this camera in a rush. I thought, oh, it's a Nikon, how bad can it be? I was sorely...
