Not very happy2009-06-20
I have a prof. camera but I wanted something small for concerts and events the camera was just getting to heavy, so I bought this package with the camera, memory, and case I was so happy when it got here I took it out right away took a picture or two it seemed fine but then again I wasnt really looking for problems so I said this is so perfect. Well I set it in the case on the shelf about 2-3 months go by and I go to get the camera down to take to a concert and sometimes I get an error message " Lens error " and then sometimes when I turn it on it seems fine untill you take a picture and try to look at it up close on the screen and its not focusing so i guess something might have happened during shipping I dont know, but its to late to return it so make sure yours gets used a lot when you first get it.
NIKON CAMERA2009-06-05
Great camera. Gave as gifts to my children. Have taken many wonderful photos, easy to use, stores a lot with the memory card. Easy to use download to computer. Great value.
Not good for low light conditions2009-05-24
I am very impressed with the quality of the images this camera takes but you have to be outside in the sun or able to use the flash or it's gonna be very blurry. I took it on vacation and took a lot of awesome pictures and I have taken a lot of good pictures at home of my animals and stuff but after a lot of playing with settings I realized that it has to have a good amount of light.

I am very impressed with the video it captures. All of the videos we have taken with it have turned out clear and have pretty good audio.

I took it to a concert that allowed cameras and I didn't want to flash everybody's eyes out so I played with all of the settings and could not come up with a good image. I turned the ISO up to 400 and you could see everything but it was very blurry. The only way I could get it to take a good image was to sit it on a table and capture an image with the timer. The night portrait setting takes pretty good pics at night but it uses a flash and if anything is moving it has bad motion blur. We took some video of the show and the turned out very good though.
nice little camera2009-05-23
Great pictures for the price. Just point and shoot. The video feature is great too, easy to use. Not all the bells and whistles w/some cameras but excellent value and just what an average picture-taker (and someone hard on her cameras!) needs.
Can't seem to take a decent picture2009-05-22
(My perspective: I am an amateur photographer with a Canon DSLR that I use for the important stuff. I just needed a pocket camera for convenience, to replace my trusty 1.3 mp Canon A10 and its 4 AA batteries.) I bought this Nikon Coolpix S550 on Black Friday here for a really good price. Normally I check things out on Consumer Reports, but, hey, it's a Nikon, and it's got to be at least as good as my old A10, right?

Well, I couldn't take a decent photo with it. So I sat down and read the manual. Oh boy, the stuff this thing can do! Face recognition? Well, I know all the people I take pictures of, so I didn't see the need for that. And I still couldn't get it to take a decent in-focus picture that wasn't washed out with the small thermonuclear flash that it comes with. Maybe it's me, for whatever reason we just didn't click, kind of like a really awkward first date. Maybe there are folks out there who know how to get these things to behave.

Anyway, I lent it to my daughter for her class trip and it was stolen. First, I was mad, then when I got my check from the travel insurance, I was kind of glad. OK, really glad. Now I'm going to scour Consumer Reports and buy another camera, and it'll most likely be another Canon.

Advantages Of The DV Camcorder
Introduction The DV camcorder, or digital video camera, has many advantages to offer consumers. Camcorders have come a long way from even the analog camcorder. There are many benefits to using a digital video camera. Some of the advantages that may send you to the store for your own are its compactness, its quality of picture, and its versatility. You can use your digital video camera to transfer your VHS movies to digital tape. You may find that the technology is also much better with a digital video camera. A camcorder derives its name from its ability to operate as both a camera and a recorder. This electronic piece of equipment has been used by countless families to record baby's first steps, birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc. These recordings of sights and sounds have provided many hours of family entertainment as well as amusement to television audiences through the capturing of hilarious antics. Camcorders have evolved over the years. The evolving of camcorders ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
