Nikon S550 claims to be the smallest camera with the capacity of 5x zoom lens and a resolution of 10 megapixels. The camera also claims to be one of the fastest, with a delivering strength of ISO 2000 light capacity. The latest features are the smile mode and the blink warning, which display an estimate that indicates when the selected subject smiles and when, is he going to blink. Along with the smile feature is the New EXPEED image processor, which ensures high-quality pictures with stunning color and sharpness.
NikonCoolpix S550 is also loaded with Electronic VR Image Stabilization that prevents image from the being blur due to shaking or unstable conditions. It produces clearer and sharper images, even in not the best of situations. The camera flaunts a bright 2.5 inch High Resolution LCD, which makes it easy to compose and share your pictures. The screen, with its anti-reflection and high-contrast coating, allows you to view the screen even in bright daylight. Nikon Image Innovations include In Camera Red Eye Fix, Face Priority AF and D Lightning.
This new stylish compact metallic designed NikonCoolpix S550 is sleek enough to fit comfortably into the front pocket of your shirt. The camera offers SDHC card compatibility as well as 50MB of internal memory, USB connectivity and, of course, PictBridge support. While the photo quality is par excellence in nature, the video is not far behind, especially with the high quality of recording videos using its 15 scene modes. The camera is available in Titanium Silver, Urban Black, Blue, and Purple colors.
