Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This is a great camera and priced right. This has 10 megapixels with a 5x zoom in a slim design. Pictures taken without flash are the best. Some pictures with flash have subjects with red-eye even with red-eye option on.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Love the camera. It is small which makes it easy to carry in your purse, or clip to your belt with the camera case. Love it!
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
I am using this camera mostly for taking pics at home and while travelling. This camera suits exactly for the purpose...
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Great camera, nearly no lag between pictures, flash is great as is the battery life. Little weak on the controls but over all very good camera. Highly Recommend it to anyone in need of a point and shoot.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
I have enjoyed this camera since I took it out of the box. It is still relatively new, but I have no complaints as of yet. I bought a second battery for it which I recommend. The battery is rechargeable as I wanted but you do have to remove the battery from the camera for charging. It's not hard to do but I think I'd like it better if I could just plug in the camera and it would charge kind of like a cell phone.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This is a cool camera with great picture quality and ease of use. Even video shot from this is good. Only disadvantage is it wont show the battery life until it really goes down.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
A bit difficult to perate for casual photographer. Battery life is low. But the picture quality is good.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
For bussiness mostly and for vacations
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
I recommend getting the extended battery. I was offered the extended battery and a fast speed card for a great discount after I already purchased the camera. This is an amazing camera for the price! I will be back to Abe's for future purchases.

very handy & sleek..
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
I use my camera for personal/family events. I like the quality you get for the low price. I just don't like the way it takes so long before the picture clears out before you can take another one.
I haven't printed pictures yet, hopefully they print out nice.

Being able to take photos & then review them instantly is great, not to mention that you can also zoom in on previewed shots and save them as they appear on screen.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
I use the camera for candid shots mainly of family and friends. The picture quality seems to be fine and the camera has many control features I have yet to learn and use. It is extremely compact allowing me to carry it at times when I would not do so with my larger camera. For the purposes I use it, the camera is great. The shutter lag does limit me with respect to action shots.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
The picture quality is seems to be average.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This camera is very easy to learn to use. Takes great pics. Love doing video's too. Only thing that would make it better, is that it takes faster pictures.

perfect size, great pics even in low light. Excellent flash for those dark shots.
wish there was a viewfinder, but that's about all I would change.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This product was easy to setup right out of the box. It is very sleek and easy to travel.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
I carry this regularly -- instead of my larger SLR -- for convenience. Consistent. Reliable. Sharp.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
pictures don't show clarity on the screen and battery life is weaksauce.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Though we've had this camera for a short period, it appears to be a hit with our teenage daughter. From what I've seen it's great at taking pictures. She has no problem navigating the menus or doing whatever kind of function she wants with it. Though I can't attest to it's durability or longevity at this point, I'm confident that we will continue to enjoy this camera as we have it longer.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
thank you very much
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Love all of the features. Carry it on my belt. Blur from camera shake no worse than any other camera I've used... Just have to be diligent how you push the button, as with all cameras.
VR seems to work well. Zoom is terrific, even the digital, given good lighting.
Love the high capacity SD cards. Love the calender sorting of the pictures.
Feature I'd like to add to this camera:
In camera "edit feature" to the movie mode.
The only negative I have:
Smile mode more of a gimmick as it does not work well with people that have hair around their mouths and in certain lighting. (No big deal to me, I just don't use it)
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This is a great product and I found it here at Abes for a better cost then any black Friday special anywhere. The camera is very easy to setup and use right out of the box. We use XP and didn't even need to setup the camera software as the drivers installed automatically. My wife had the most fun with the smile feature of this device and we love the picture quality.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Its very light weight and compact. Execellant picture quality.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Nikon s550 is good when compared to the price being paid. I got 4 GB mem card free with the camera.Though the pictures are not that good in night, during day its cool.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
One great camera; highly recommend
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Takes great outdoor photos.
Inside photos are very good but need to take time to learn what settings work best. Once you see learn the different settings, you will be able to take very good inside photos. The image stabilization really helps also.
As the battery is a rechargeable one, which I like, you should always make sure to have an extra ready to go.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Product is really very nice. i love it. worth price. I recommed everybody to purchase this product.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Two hidden design defects: First, no battery meter, so impossible to know whether to charge or not, or when on tour, whether the camera is about to go dead. Second, display is polarized, so if using polarized suglasses, rotating camera for vertical shot makes the display go black.
If I had known of these things, I would have chosen a different brand.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
It is a great camera to have if you are a casual photographer...very light, easy to use...good price... There were many friends who asked to go for cannon instead of nikon... but I am very happy and satisfied with its performance that I don't regret my decision ...
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Easy to use. even though picturs dont show great on the display look great when downloaded/printed.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Trips to the botanical garden provided the opportunity to demonstrate the versatility of this camera. This camera easily accommodated the varied lighting conditions between the indoor and outdoor exhibits. The zoom lens caught magnificent details of the smallest display orchids - the colors and detail are especially crisp when printed at 8 x 10.

simply superb
worth for every penny
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Its not the best one I've ever seen in this range of product, however, i found it good for the price i bought it for. Good quality in day time, however, not so in the night time and also while on auto flash mode/flash off mode!
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Useful for routine outgoing but not a nice product for professional photography. sometimes I miss some nice equipment to capture beautiful nights.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This is a good camera for the price. 10megapixels is nothing to sneeze at. The auto-focus and face recognition are great and easy to use. Turn on face recognition mode, point the camera to your human subject's face and the camera will automatically take a pic when he/she smiles. No need to press the shutter button at the right moment.
However, the lowlight performance is lacking. Also, the tech specs on the site I purchased from (abes) said that this camera has an "auto rotation" feature. This was the feature that I wanted the most as the person I'm getting this camera for as a gift specifically wanted that feature. Come to find out that the auto rotate only works with face recognition mode and if a face was recognized. This means that there is no gravity sensing switch to tell if the pic is being taken in portrait or lanscape mode. This also means that I cannot just rotate the camera while reviewing saved pics to see the optimum aspect in the viewfinder. I'm very dissapointed in this mis-represented and half-baked feature. This "auto rotation" feature needs to have the caveat of "(in face recognition mode)" included in the specs.
If my rant doesn't bother you then you would be wise to give this camera a try.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This is an excellent camera and I'm very glad I bought it for travel use. It's tiny and takes good "day light" shots. I was disappointed in its inability to capture nightlight shots, especially since it has several scene settings geared for it. But, it has good zoom, and the large images allow you a lot of flexibility to capture memories.
Probably not important to most, but the charger DOES work overseas with 220 voltage without needing a special converter (just like most laptops do.) So, that was a nice convenience.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Great for use in IRAQ where you don't have alot of room to lug around larger, bulkier cameras and the extraneous extras required. Small enough to put in a pocket where you have easy access to it when you need it.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Nikon digital camera has the best blend of image quality, features and price, with lots of manual controls to give you room to grow. The -10megapixel Coolpix 550 camera takes excellent shots overall. The 5x Optical( Zoom-NIKKOR Glass Lens )zoom lens includes optical image stabilization, which works to reduce blurry images caused by the natural movements of your hands. Images are good all around, and the camera has nice features for its price. There's a fun collection of automatic settings, and even some limited manual control if you feel the urge to get creative. Other perks include automatic face detection, automatic red-eye correction and a High ISO mode for shooting in low light.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Handy to shoot nice outdoor pictures. Not so good when the lighting is bad especially indoors
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
The Mega pixel it high, however the picture quality is very bad. Images are not sharp at all. I used to have a 4 MP canon earlier. I shifted back to my Canon. And gifted this to a friend :)
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
decent product, better than my previous nikon's. has a smile capture mode which captures photos when a person smiles.
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
This camera is worth the money. Small with many features-maybe even too many :) TAking picures is easy. Two minuses- the shape of the camera and it takes a long time (!) to store one picture in the memory until you can take another one. Not good for any quick action :((((
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Complex, take time for saving pictures
Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S550 Digital Camera [Black]:
Recently took the kids on a Halloween Hayride and even while bouncing around the back of the trailer the camera took surprisingly image stable pictures. There was only one shot that came out blurry due to violent movement while taking picture. Otherwise the size, weight, picture quality is excellent for a camera costing less than $200usd.Purchased back in July 08 and took to Jersey Shore for weeklong vacation and once again the camera performed very well. No complaints yet and we will see how durable the camera is over time.
