Product description

Nikon Coolpix S550 10-Megapixel Digital Camera - Plum

Features

Untitled Document

10.0 megapixels: The Nikon Coolpix S550 digital camera takes photo-quality, 300dpi images up to 8” x 12” and good-quality 200dpi images up to 13” x 19”. More megapixels give you more ability to crop and enlarge your favorite part of the photo.

Zoom: The Nikkor glass lens provides exceptional pictures—use the 5x optical zoom to get closer than ever, without sacrificing image quality. The 5x digital zoom picks up where optical zoom leaves off, stretching pixels to make the image look bigger.

2.5” LCD screen: View, compose and share your pictures on the bright, high resolution color display.

Digital image stabilizer: The Electronic VR Image Stabilization feature reduces blur caused by camera shake or subject movement.

High ISO: With a wide light sensitivity range of ISO 64 to ISO 2000, this camera lets you take better shots in poor lighting conditions. This high ISO means the sensor can handle short exposures to light, allowing fast shutter speeds that prevent blur images due to camera shake or moving subjects.

Face detection: Nikon's Face-Priority AF technology automatically finds and focuses on faces to ensure superb portraits with clear, crisp focus.

Red eye reduction: Nikon’s In-Camera Red-Eye Fix ™ automatically fixes most instances of red-eye in the camera—you may never see red-eye again!

Image enhancement: Nikon’s D-Lighting feature compensates for underexposed images or insufficient flash by automatically adding light and detail to selected shots where needed, without affecting properly exposed areas.

Scene modes: Choose your mode, and this camera automatically adjusts settings such as shutter speed, flash and focus to adapt to the situation. This camera features 11 different scene modes, including portrait, landscape, close-up and more.

Movie mode: When a still image just isn’t enough, shoot 640 x 480 pixel, VGA-quality movies.

Memory: The 52MB internal memory lets this camera start shooting right out of the box. The SDHC/SD memory card slot lets you slide in a card (sold separately) to instantly expand capacity. How much memory do you need? Click here to find out.

best camera ever!

I love this camera the lense is great, the image quality is great, and the buttons are really easy to understand. This camera has long lasting battery life and makes you want to pick it up and take a picture constantly, it took me a while to stop being overly obsessed. I suggest this camera for any experience with cameras, beginners, or experienced photographers who just want to capture a special moment...or every moment!
