 You will want to carry this camera everywhere July 3, 2008
For a pocket camera that you will want to carry everywhere, this is a great choice. My complaints are (1) shutter lag and (2) the lack of depth of field in landscape shots; my SLR makes up for the S50's flaws.
The S50 is easy to use and great for family gatherings. My prints always look better than what similarly-priced pocket cameras take in the same settings.
The museum setting is one of my favorites. It works very in cathedrals and museums. I used a tripod and the museum setting to take photos of a night-time light show last summer -- beautiful results! I don't think my SLR would have done any better.
 Great size, but at the expense of picture quality November 1, 2007
PROS: the worst picture is the one not taken, and with it's size you can always have this camera with you. The large rear-screen is nice. the camera has a ton of features and settings, so many that it takes some time to scroll through them to find the right one for lighting conditions. CONS: It is not really "point and shoot", if you have a fast moving subject or challenging lighting conditions, you have to take some time to find the proper settings, or you get a blurred or grainy picture. the large screen pushes the control panel to one side, which is then difficult to grip without hitting a button unwillingly.
 Not Nikon's best October 27, 2007

I wanted to like this camera - I really did. I'm an enthusiastic owner of a D80, which I adore. So when I needed a small camera for travel, I thought this sleek Nikon would be just the thing. It looks beautiful, and it's so tiny that holding it almost makes you feel like a spy.
But after using the camera for just three weeks, I returned it to the store. There's the annoying finger-in-the-frame tendency that other reviewers have mentioned: even though you know you need to compensate for that, a finger still winds up in the shot occasionally. There's also the fact that once you account for all the bulky wires and chargers and accoutrements, it's not such a small package after all. And the battery life was far too short. But most importantly, there's the picture quality. Though it is possible to get great shots with this camera, I got far too many that were grainy, and it didn't perform well in low light, either.
I wish this had worked out - I love Nikon and I loved the way this camera looked and felt. I just felt I couldn't trust it with my once-in-a-lifetime travel photos. I suppose if someone were looking for a camera to snap party pictures or around-the-town shots, it could be a good choice.
Fallas en las fotos September 26, 2007
Yo compre esta camara, por que a mi criterio las Nikon son buenas, sin embargo esta camara, me causo desilusion, en algunas fotos, aparecen unos puntos blancos, como si fueran agua, malogrando la calidad de las fotos. Hubo algun comentario al respecto anteriormente, pero no le preste atencion, sin embargo me arrepiento no haber hecho caso. Este problema usualmente ocurre de noche. No en el dia. No tengo la foto para adjuntar y puedan apreciar.
