- Simply great value
- My wife wanted a small (actually very small) camera she can put in her pursue. After a brief research i felt this Nikon will do the job. And it does. To the point I want to use it even more then my own trustee Canon. It's great for people who are not into fidling with every shot but would like to get great picture nevertheless. Then this camera is for you.

- Nikon Coolpix S600
- Camera is light, easy to handle, simple to operate, picture quality is excellent. Big drawback is shutter lag which is really annoying.

- Good Camera, buy a spare battery
- I chose this camera as I wanted a camera that could take good quality shots, was fast to start up, easy to use and small enough to carry around easily.
I think this camera is all of those things. I travel alot and find this nikon great for carrying around in a pocket / bag without taking up any real space.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons.
1)It doesn't take AA batteries. My last camera did and I found that very useful when it ran out of juice in a foreign country or if I simply didn't have the charger with me. Simple solution though... buy a second battery, which I did relatively cheaply on Amazon.
2) I had the camera only a week or two when during a family wedding the camera had a bit of a melt down. I know these family things can be stressfull but ....
Basically every picture had dark black lines horizontally across the screen for a while and then after a few more photos the colour went funny and it wouldn't even focus.
In saying that, Amazon exchanged it immediately with no questions asked and the new one works fine.
In all, it's a good little camera, I love the "brushed steel" kind of look and I would recommend it with three suggestions.
1) buy a spare battery
2) buy a zip up bag for it (the screen scratches easily)
3) stay clear of family weddings - 2008-08-25, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Nikon S600 Coolpix
- This handy little pocket camera is wonderful. I compared the pix from this camera with my Nikon D80 with a 28-300 lens. The pix were comparable. Of course, the S600 isn't as fast, but for the money it is a fabulous little camera. I ALWAYS have it in my pocket. Never know when you need a camera. It has the ability - in camera - to zoom in on a pix you have taken and then with the press of a button to crop and save the pix that you have enlarged. So you have both the original pix and the enlarged/cropped pix. Great feature. My only complaint is a small one. I would like it to be easier via the menu to format my memory card. But a small nuisance for an otherwise wonderful product. The screen is fairly viewable in bright light. This can be a problem with many cameras. But when I first looked at this camera, I asked the salesman to come outside with me so I could look at the screen in light. None of them are perfect, but this one was okay. I miss a viewfinder, but very few of the pocket cameras have this. Overall I am thrilled with this little beauty.
