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.
Coming into the market clearly positioned as an alternative to Canon's range of ultra compact IXUS cameras, Nikon's COOLPIX S500 is a slim 7.1 megapixel unit which offers a few nifty features such as Optical Image Stabilisation.
Small design; Low chromatic aberration; Speedy burst mode
Very slow focus; Some blurry pictures captured in low light

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.
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?
Great design; anti-reflection LCD; Vibration Reduction
Bland zoom range; noise above ISO 400
When looking for a new camera, we wanted something small, easy to use, and that took good pictures.
Compact; solid; easy to use; great pictures
Proprietary battery; flimsy battery/memory card door
Nikon really shows off its style with its Coolpix S500, a sleek, compact camera that feels every bit as good as it looks. This little shooter has some of the nicest design points we've seen in a small shooter, plus a few handy features normally seen on higher-end cameras.
Small, light stainless steel body and click wheel interface are great design touches; optical image stabilization; fast burst shooting
Slow performance; way too much noise at high ISO settings
Exactly as described, excellent condition. works without problems. prompt delivery. Well packaged. Would use seller again, well done and thanks.
