The housing of the S-50 Wi-Fi Nitro Circus Live Limited Edition has a nice rubber coating and measures 58mm in length, 46mm in height and 25mm in depth (almost 39mm with the lens) with a weight of 80g.

Rollei has equipped the camera with a 14 Megapixel CMOS sensor and lens capable of Full HD 1080p recording at 30fps with a horizontal angle of 175 degrees.

Right beneath the lens we see the power and recording LEDs.

At the right side of the camera we find the HDMI port, miniUSB port and a microSD card slot (supports microSD cards up to 64GB in capacity).

The power button is placed on the opposite side.

Moving at the top we see the activity LED (recording/taking shots) along with the menu navigation arrows (to access the menu you need to push one and hold it for a few seconds) and the picture and video buttons.

The 2.0 inch screen takes most of the rear so you should pay some attention on where you place the camera.

By default the camera is mounted on the standard mount which can be mounted on most places via a 3M adhesive pad.

I was surprised to see that Rollei packs two Lithium-Ion batteries in the box allowing you to record continuously for up to 160 minutes. To battery compartment is placed right behind the front cap seen above.

Rollei also provides a nice and small remote control for the S-50 which can be used to turn it on/off, take pictures and start/pause recording.

You can use the provided base to charge the remote (you will need to use the bundled miniUSB cable with the base).

Although the camera is not waterproof that's not a problem since Rollei also bundles a waterproof housing allowing you to record underwater up to 60m.

For people however who just want to use the S-50 in the rain (anywhere just not inside water) the second panel is more suitable since it allows better audio to get recorded.
