My Nikon Coolpix S50 is the crappiest point-and-shoot I have EVER owned. I do not recommend this camera at ALL. Stay away. The piece of junk can hardly focus on anything, its shutter lag is the worst I've ever experienced, and its GUI is just awful. (You have to jump through various menus to do things like change flash settings, macro focus, exposure levels, etc.)
Focusing was definitely a problem on earlier models, but the S52 has noticeably better AF than the S50 and S51. I think they also fixed the problem where a clock will flash in the lower corner of the screen seemingly randomly. Most Ritz/Wolf Camera stores already have these ($249), for those of you looking for them.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.

I'm sorry, the S52, not the S52c, that is.
