The Coolpix S50 and S50c digital cameras (the latter has an improved version of Nikon’s WiFi transfer functionality) continue the S series’ tradition with slim cases, 3x zooms, big (3.0-inch) screens and 7.1 megapixel CCDs. The good news is that the new models are even smaller, and have the added benefit of optical image stablization (VR). In the UK both cameras will be exclusive to specific retailers (Amazon and DSG respectively).
