Simple, no-fuss compact camera
Nikon's new 5x zoom ultra-compact has a lot of strong competition. How does it measure up?
Nikon S550 review, find out how the S550 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
Pre-PMA 2008: Apparently the Nikon Coolpix S550 is the smallest 10 megapixel compact with a retractable 5x zoom (as of time of publication etc etc). Very nice, but what we would like to know is how many compromises have to be made to chase such a pointless accolade. The lens covers 36-180mm equiv. but the 'stabilization' is electronic - lens or sensor-based optical systems are more effective. Click through for the full story.
