   Had our original Nikon S550 for three years….Dropped on cement, dropped to the bottom of a lake…. Kept working like a workhorse….. So when the last accident claimed it, bought the new model….. We prefer the older simpler and clearly better S550….. Found one on Amazon…. Hope there are always a few around!!!!! Oh… Outstanding service from Amazon allowed us to take it on our vacation…

   This camera, Coolpix, was used but no real damage. It is a great size for travel and that is why I bought it. Took it to Isreal and took many good pictures. Was a real good buy.

   This is one nifty little camera. Since I’m not a techie, but I do compose my pictures pretty well, I have an appreciation and desire for more than a drugstore camera.

   The Nikon S550 takes a crisp picture. When compared with the shots of someone using a professional camera, this one held its own–even taking portrait-style close-ups. One of the features I find useful is that even if your hand moves, the camera has the ability to stabilize the image.

   I used my camera extensively while shopping for and remodeling our home. I was able to capture the items, their exact colors, and was so on-target that, our decorator was amazed at the accuracy. Even the individual colors of the wool and silk in oriental rugs were quite visible.

   When taking photos of our belongings (we live in a hurricane-prone area)both the short and long-range pictures were of very good quality.

   PROS:

   * Ease-of-Use

   * Thin

   * Lightweight

   * Accurate color

   * Excellent even at long-distance shots

   * Superb value for the price

   * Can take videos

   * Recharges quickly

   CONS:

   * Does not have a number indicator to quickly find a previously taken picture

   Even my dad, who is accustomed to expensive cameras with assorted lenses is impressed with this little camera. He intends to buy one, too!

   Does everything you want and it does it well. Nice photo camera and does a decent video with sound also. Long lasting rechargeable battery and EZ to use.

   It makes a Panarama shot, too! Also records AUDIO ONLY.

   Get at least a 1 GIG card with it so you have plenty of room for your pics and videos.

   Small enough to carry around in your purse, unless you’re a man and you might not be in the habit of walking around with a purse. But, if you ARE a MAN if you want to carry a purse; that’s your own business; not mine. the point is: IT’S A GREAT CAMERA!

   I got the pink one. NIKON calls it “Plum”. It’s really more like PINK. Nobody will steal a man’s PINK Camera!
