Is The New Nikon Coolpix S550 The Digital Camera For You?

Nikon recently launched the Nikon Coolpix S550, advertised as a "stylish new camera that elegantly packs high performance and advanced functions into the smallest body in its class". Let's have a look at the S550's new features and find out if performance has been sacrificed to achieve this!

The Nikon Coolpix S550's Unique Features

1. A gauge is displayed in smile mode to alert you when your subject smiles. Innovative idea that allows you to shoot the perfect shot!

2. A blink warning detects when your subject has blinked and allows you to instantly repeat the shot.

Image Innovations Unique to Nikon

1. Improved Face-priority AF

2. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix

3. D-Lighting. With this function enabled the lighting can be corrected automatically when underexposure results from poor back lighting or the contrast adjusted for overexposure.

More features

Vibration reduction compensates for any shaking hands and is extremely useful when operating in low lighting conditions. The light sensitivity range of the Coolpix S550 is up to ISO 2000 so is ideal for shooting in lower light conditions or for shooting targets on the move. The manual and automatic settings give you full control. The large 2.5-inch monitor has greatly improved displays with lots of feedback assistance and easily. The camera comes in a range of colours Silver, Black, Blue, or Purple. The battery life is adequate with around 200 shots.

* The active zoom function allows smoother zooming

* Setting of multiple locations is easy with the time zone function

* Time-lapse movie mode with sound

* SD memory card with 50 MB of memory

* SDHC card compatibility

* USB connectivity

* Macro shooting from 10 cm

* PictBridge support

Conclusion

The smile mode and blink compensation are particularly useful if you take a lot of portrait shots! An adequate array of new and improved features and specifications but priced at around $US220 it isn't the cheapest camera in its class. The new features and small size might appeal to the keen photographer!
