The COOLPIX P50 is an 8.1 megapixel compact digital camera aimed at photographers after a bit more control.
The body is modeled after the P5100 with a nice big hand-grip. A 3.6x 28-102mm equiv. lens, Electronic VR (software-stabilization) and ISO 2000 capability help in lower light.
Highlights
- Easy access practical shooting modes
- VR image stabilisation for crisper results
- ISO 2000 capability for better pictures in lower light
- AA-size batteries for shoot-anywhere convenience
- Clear and precise portraits with Face-Focus AF mode **Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions.**
