I bought this little camera special in June/July and am thoroughly pleased with the every aspect of the product and the supplier.

I felt that I got more than my money's worth with this buy - almost guilty!

The camera is an excellent point-and-shoot camera. The picture quality is vivid and bright. It is a perfect for a beginner/casual photographer and on a budget.

I have used other DSLRs and the ease of use compared to those, no comparison really.

The memory card I got with the camera allows close to 1500 shots at highest quality.

Drawnbacks of this camera:

The digital zoom is poor, as is most digital zoom...

The controls are a little obscure I find. Not as fluent as I expected.

Also I have had some experience with the charger not charging the battery properly. Maybe it wasnt connected properly, so that is something to be wary of.

All in all a great product, with accessories, for the price.

Thanks again

EDIT: June 2011

The flap which covers the battery and memory card area broke. The flap cant lock in place anymore. I guess after repeated use this has happened. I have to use a strip of clear tape to secure the battery/card compartment.

Other than that the camera continues to work flawlessly and take great shots.

I am very well satisfied with my Nikon S550 camera. It is very user friendly. I have taken pictures as well as video, they both work fine. It is a snap to download pictures.
