Nikon Coolpix P50 digital camera review

January 31st, 2008

Gavin Stoker of Computeractive reviewed the Nikon Coolpix P50 noting its good looks and design despite having a traditional rather than thin body. A light camera even with batteries, it’s also easy to use and quick to start.

A quick summary:
Good points: Better zoom lens than most, Fairly priced, Vivid, sharp images.
Bad points: No decent anti-shake, Can be sluggish, No rechargeable battery (takes AA batteries standard)

“It handled tricky shots well, colours are pleasingly vivid, images are sharp, and though high ISO settings such as ISO1600 or 2000 appeared to show noise on the camera’s screen, they looked much better on the PC.”

Quick feature list:
Effective 8.1 Megapixels, 3.6x Optical Wide-Angle Zoom-Nikkor Glass Lens, 2.4-inch High Resolution LCD, electronic vibration reduction, SD/SDHC memory card compatible, AA batteries with optional rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.

Dimensions (W x H x D): Approx. 3.8 x 2.6 x 1.8 in (94.5 x 66 x 44 mm) excluding projections
Weight: Approx. 5.6 oz (160 g) without battery and SD memory card
