    CNET Review

    May 22, 2007

    The Good: Nice click-wheel; sleek, slim design; supports wireless 802.11b/g photo e-mail via T-Mobile hot spots and private access points; optical image stabilization.

    The Bad: The lack of a built-in browser prevents you from being able to access most free public Wi-Fi access points.

    The Bottom Line: While it takes good pictures and it's nice to be able to access private Wi-Fi access points, the lack of a browser keeps this camera from rising to the next level.

    Review Summary: The Coolpix S50c's ability to connect to a wireless LAN is a nice, distinguishing feature. I identified an available wireless network, entered some network settings and then my recipients' e-mail addresses on the camera itself, and eventually uploaded ...

    Review Summary: If they had been more thoughtfully implemented, the Nikon Coolpix S50c's Wi-Fi features might have been enough to compensate for its undistinguished image quality and ease of use. As it is, you're probably better off choosing a more capable shooter ...
