Nikon S50

Conclusion
For a street price of Rs 18,900, I think the camera failed to perform up to the mark. The lack of detailing and sharpness leave a lot more to desire for. Although the S50 is packed with a lot of features, it still down-performs in basic point-and-shoot category. In style, the camera wins hands-on though.
