Nikon Nikon Coolpix S500
Nikon Coolpix S500 Compact Camera Review
- The Nikon Coolpix S500 delivers top-notch image quality. At $300, it may seem a little pricey for a compact camera with a relatively standard 7.1-megapixel sensor, a 3X zoom lens, and a 2.5-inch LCD. Into its tiny and tough metal body, however, Nikon has also packed such features as automatic face detection and optical image stabilization, though most compact cameras now offer those features.

Reviewed by: talldude123
Duration of ownership: 1 Day
Strengths: Image stabilizer, face detection, optical zoom, rechargable battery.
Weaknesses: construction, quality needs work.
Overall Evaluation: Looks like a nice camera for travelling, just be sure to get a case for it. Also the internal memory is a joke, only holds 7 pictures. Be sure to get a memory card, preferrably 2GB, as it holds 500 pictures.
