This is a nice camera for people in real estate and other professions that need a wide angle camera. I used it at my daughters wedding and it worked great. I bought this model from Abes and very satisfied with the camera. It works good for short movies too. I recommend this camera and Abes.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P50 Digital Camera [Black]:

Really good little camera for what it is designed to do. Great for point & shoot and gives some creative control. Nikon has done a great job at simplifing the menus and operation. I don't feel the need to carry the manual with me all the time. Favorite feature: Automatic lens cover, simple things still are appreciated. Screen is damnably hard to see under bright sunlight which does reduce it's effectiveness. I suppose most of them are though.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P50 Digital Camera [Black]:

AA batteries are easy, and Lithium Ion batteries last forever - well worth the extra cost. The Wide angle lens is perfect and necessary for good Real Estate interior photos. The auto brightness is sometimes too dark, but once you get used to this it's very easy to make the correct lighting adjustment. Simple intuitive camera at a great price. Rare to find a camera with all these great features at this price. AA, wide angle, perfect!!!

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P50 Digital Camera [Black]:

This is a so so camera. The software was not intuitive, the battery life, controls size, weight, etc are awkward. The low light photos were terrible, flash is poor for its size. I was not happy with it and sold it.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P50 Digital Camera [Black]:

At the time, and still really, I want to see good resolution and color 'straight out of the camera' and I just didn't get it with this camera. Not nearly as impressive as the other brands I had used. I practically gave it away on [...]
