great camera but larger September 2, 2008
D. Benjamin Cahn
I have had 2 other nikon cool pic cameras, this one is clearly the most advanced to date. Down side: little bit large. Seriously larger. smaller than my wife's nikon SLR but larger than the older nikon point and shoot. The wide angle lense is truly the bomb. Almost no point and shoot digitals offer wide angle. Very handy. Shots are good. Video is only good close up. comfortable, good value, decent camera.
 Nikon coolpix P50 - Good Value! August 31, 2008

[[ASIN:B0017K6HGI Nikon Coolpix P50 - Wide Angle Zoom 3.6 - 28MM-102MM
8.1 Mega Pixels - Plus Nikon Two Year Extended Warranty - Nikon Case -
Plus 1 GB SD Memory Card]]
I needed a decent point and shoot with a wider angle lens for interior
photos and purchased this one.
It does a great job here with very good clarity. The wider angle allows
more area in a photo where needed. I use this function mainly in
real estate for interior room photos. It is not quite as wide as
more expensive models but very adequate for my needs right now.
The photos generally require very little or no enhancement once
loaded onto a PC.
Reading the manual and some experimenting with some settings helps much
to get the best use of this camera. The auto setting by itself usually
works fine though for most shots. The video mode does a good job with
the 640 x 480 mode.
I also have a Fuji A900 which is a great camera and use it as well
but it does not have the wider angle lens and has a lesser video
resolution.
The only thing I would have liked is having the larger USB plug to
the camera or same one the Fuji has. This is really minor though.
Using std. rechargeable AA batteries can get 125 or more full
resolution shots on a charged pair.
nice set of features for great price! August 31, 2008

I've been looking for a solid point and shoot for travel and general use. This camera has a combination of the features I was looking for that only one other available camera has, and that just released camera is 500.00.
First it has a wide angle lense that is fairly fast. This lense is 28mm which puts it in the same class as the new wide angle models from most makers. 35mm has been the norm on most cameras in this class, getting a true 28mm wide angle lense in a point and shoot is welcome feature. The zoom range is also useful and while it doesn't equal the 10x zooms on some other cameras, it does what it does well, with good quality images over the zoom range.
Other worthwhile features for me are the size of the camera and the balance with the lense and body sizes and weights. It is comfortable to use, not too small to handle and not too bulky to carry. I also wanted a point and shoot that uses aa batteries. I use rechargable AAs in it but don't have to pack around a charger and adapters for whatever continent I am on. You can always pick up a couple of aa batteries somewhere and be charged up and ready to shoot. Another feature I like and use more than you'd think is the optical view finder. So this has what I wanted and more.
Works very well August 11, 2008

After reading lots of reviews for different cameras, I decided this one was the best for my needs and budget. Thanks to all of you who have written about your experiences, good and bad, with various cameras!
I got my camera yesterday evening and promptly started taking pictures with it in various environments. I am pleased with the results indoors and outdoors, in bright light and dim. I have even photographed my laptop's screen and, just tonight, the outside of the restaurant where my daughter works. All the pictures came out great! Good colors and contrast.
I took most of the pictures of the restaurant at night using the "HI ISO" setting with the flash disabled. Aside from being a bit grainy (which I expected), I found that the neon signs in view were a little blurry--an inevitable consequence of the demands placed on the aperture by the varying brightnesses, I assume. I also took a couple of pictures of the restaurant with the flash enabled. The neon signs were clearer then, since the contrast with the non-illuminated parts wasn't so great.
My non-negotiable criteria for a camera included a cost under $200 and the use of AA batteries so I am not dependent on charging proprietary batteries when I am traveling overseas. This camera met both of those criteria. Another feature I very much like is its "old fashioned" dial on top to select the basic modes. I much prefer this to the onscreen selection wheel common to many cameras these days.
If you're looking for an inexpensive but high-quality camera, get yourself one of these. You'll get your money's worth.
