About the Nikon Coolpix S550
The Nikon Coolpix S550 arrived in January 2008 as a slim compact with a 1/2.3-type CCD of about 10 megapixels effective. Its lens covers 36-180 mm in 35 mm terms, a 5x optical zoom, with an aperture range of F2.7-5.8.
The body measures 90 x 54 x 22 mm and weighs about 150 g, easy to carry, with a 2.5-inch rear screen. It uses the EN-EL11 lithium-ion battery, supplied with a charger, and saves images to SD or SDHC cards. The F2.7 opening at 36 mm suits indoor snapshots, while 180 mm reaches distant subjects. A 5x zoom in a body this thin makes it a convenient everyday companion, and the included charger means it is ready to use once a card is inserted.
Buying one used
The battery is the EN-EL11. On such a slim body, check the battery door, the lens retracting and extending, the 2.5-inch screen and whether SD or SDHC cards are read correctly.
