Nikon Coolpix S550 05.11.09

Even with already having a DSLR camera, I’ve been wanting a high megapixel compact camera that would easily fit in my pocket that I could take on bike rides. My D200 would be awesome to have with me all the time, but there are times when I’d rather be a bit more discrete and others when I don’t exactly have the room for it. So I picked up a factory refurbished Nikon Coolpix S550 off of eBay last week. I went with another Nikon because I’ve very much enjoyed the one that I have now so far and really like the quality of their products. It’s about the same size as my enV2 phone and is going to be great for snapping some shots while out on some bike rides this summer. I’m not by any means going to make it my priority camera, as that would be kind of silly, but it’ll be nice to be able to capture some of the things that I would like to shoot when I don’t have the D200 with me.
