The Nikon Coolpix S50 features a 7.2 megapixel CCD image sensor coupled to prism-folded Nikkor 3x optical zoom lenses. The S50 also includes an impressively large 3.0 inch LCD screen, and offers true optical vibration reduction. What makes the Nikon Coolpix S50 different from its more expensive S50c sibling is the lack of wireless connectivity and slightly different styling such as no Wi-Fi antenna. A few other special features included in the Nikon S50 are the D-Lighting, which enhances darker images to improve shadow detail, Best Shot Selector mode, that takes a series of shots, letting the camera automatically pick the sharpest shot and discard the others, Red-Eye Fix, which automatically finds red-eye in your images and eliminates it, and finally Face-Priority AF. Ion battery.
