Nikon Coolpix S500 review
When it's come to stylish, metal-bodied compacts, Nikon has never quite delivered cameras that match Canon's IXUS line in the ‘sexy' stakes. But will this change with the introduction of the Coolpix S500?
Pros:
- Great design
- anti-reflection LCD
- Vibration Reduction
Cons:
- Bland zoom range
- noise above ISO 400

Nikon Coolpix S500 Digital Camera Review
Not only does it provide a solid metallic feel and reassuringly firm grip, but the chic contours and classic camera appeal of the most compact digital camera among competing models also makes Nikon Coolpix S500 a desirable pocket point-and-shoot compact camera for travellers.

Fragile
The camera takes absolutly fantastic pictures. Unfortunately it is very fragile. We had the camera fall about 1' and hit the floor. After whicht it was no longer functional (reports "Lens Error"). The Nikon repair shop wants $150 to repair it. A bit steep for a $175 camera.
