Nikon Coolpix P50 Camera

I know that Nikon has an excellent array of SLR cameras in its arsenal. A lot of my friends own a Nikon and its well known for its sharp images. However that does not mean its compact cameras fall in the same category. My wife owns an old Nikon 2100 (see below) and I have officially retired that oldie since it’s been acting a bit weird on the battery side.

Program and manual exposure modes come standard with the P50, so users have creative freedom when capturing images. The P50 is powered by two AA-batteries adding to the convenience and portability of this camera.
