Recommending budget pocket camera: Nikon P50

[Kelly Grannell]

Hi Y'all,

Just want to share to anybody who's in a tight budget who needs a decent point and shoot camera. I tried the Nikon P50 (MSRP $170) and although it's not as great as the Canon SD870, it's only half the price of the Canon and it takes decent enough picture I even bought one for my daughter.

Hope it helps,
Kelly
