The Nikon Coolpix P80, is simpily amazing, but then again I woulden’t expect anything short of amazing from Nikon. This past Saterday I went down to the camera shop in town and just wanted to check out the best camera for the punch. My goal was to find a powerful camera that the average consumer could afford, well the Nikon Coolpix P80 had more than enough power at a price most can afford. (more…)
Well I decided to get a camera for summer vacation as I’m ALWAYS borrowing my brothers and I went to about 4 stores before I found the Nikon Coolpix S550. Right from the get go the size and overall simple design caught my eye (I bought it in graphite black). Its about the same size as a pack of cigarettes (world smallest body on for a 10mp) and the controls on the back are insanely simple.
The only two drawbacks in the design are: that it feels a bit awkward in the hand, just cause its boxish, and it has a fairly small screen. Its only 2.5 inches (measured diagonally) but thats understandable since its so small. Anyway, I of course looked at the specs before I bought it.
