5 out of 5 stars You will want to carry this camera everywhere   July 3, 2008
trlamb (Salem, OR USA)
For a pocket camera that you will want to carry everywhere, this is a great choice. My complaints are (1) shutter lag and (2) the lack of depth of field in landscape shots; my SLR makes up for the S50's flaws.

The S50 is easy to use and great for family gatherings. My prints always look better than what similarly-priced pocket cameras take in the same settings.

The museum setting is one of my favorites. It works very in cathedrals and museums. I used a tripod and the museum setting to take photos of a night-time light show last summer -- beautiful results! I don't think my SLR would have done any better.



3 out of 5 stars Great size, but at the expense of picture quality   November 1, 2007
Bradley C. Gardiner
PROS: the worst picture is the one not taken, and with it's size you can always have this camera with you. The large rear-screen is nice. the camera has a ton of features and settings, so many that it takes some time to scroll through them to find the right one for lighting conditions. CONS: It is not really "point and shoot", if you have a fast moving subject or challenging lighting conditions, you have to take some time to find the proper settings, or you get a blurred or grainy picture. the large screen pushes the control panel to one side, which is then difficult to grip without hitting a button unwillingly.
