Canon's PowerShot S50: Slight Step above S45 but not Exactly Better!

68 Helpfuls 69 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 5 MegaPixels, Compact design, Good number of features
Cons Only 3x Zoom lens, red-eye reduction issues, weak flash
Recommended it? Yes

Funny... I had been playing on and off with a friend's S50 for the better part of the past one to one and a half months. I had been rather impressed with it from my limited exposure. An interesting opportunity came up to buy the S50 for $400! An opportunity that if I passed on, I wouldn't be able... Read full review »

I recently bought the Nikon Coolpix S80 for a hefty price. Since I bought it, I haven't used it much. Although it is completely touch-screen, it blanks our  randomly.
