Nikon's 8.1-megapixel Coolpix P50 features a f/2.8-5.6, 28mm-102mm lens (35mm camera equivalent) 3.6x zoom lens; a 115,000-pixel, 2.4-inch LCD with a wide 160-degree viewing angle; and an optical viewfinder. The camera offers a manual exposure mode but no priority modes. It also provides numerous automatic shooting modes and a top light-sensitivity setting of ISO 2000. Other notable features include in-camera redeye removal, a Best Shot Selector mode that takes multiple images in a quick series and saves the sharpest one, and Nikon's D-Lighting feature, which automatically opens up dark shadow areas in playback mode. The camera also includes face-detection technology, and Nikon says its performance has been improved over that of the system used in previous Coolpix models. The Coolpix P50 runs on two AA batteries and will be available beginning October 2007 with a MSRP of $249.95.

Gimme sugar. This little compact with an unusually big sensor takes really sweet photos. But satisfying that craving doesn’t come cheap. |
