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

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

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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.

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

Recommended it? Yes

We bought the 600D because we wanted to add video capability to our Canon equipment. Having been a long time Canon user I already had a substantial investment in Canon mount lens and other equipment.

Pros Articulating LCD, Sharp photos, 1080 video with 3-10x zoom, creative filters
Cons price, need to get an expensive memory card to take 1080 video
Recommended it? Yes

You can read the specs elsewhere, this will be my experience and opinion of the Canon T3i. 

Photo quality: As a new DSLR user, this camera is easy to use and produces amazing, clear, sharp photos. Of course I have never used a high end DSLR, but in comparison to any point and... Read full review »
