- This is the BEST camera I have ever had
- I take a lot of wildlife pictures, and the "Active Child" setting is PERFECT for my needs. This camera has helped me take the most stunning pictures I have ever been able to take. I am an amateur photographer, and this camera has all of the features I need to take my pictures from being good to being great. I definitely recommend reading the manual 1st, though, and I may even re-read now that I have had the camera for a month. Awesome buy - great value for the money!

- Nikon Coolpix 600 Fulfills Expectations
- Having owned many Nikons, starting with the original Nikon F SLR, and having been a professional photographer with NASA in the 1970s, I long ago gave up carrying a heavy bag of multiple camera bodies and several lenses. I bought the Coolpix 600 to have something I could stick in my fanny pack and because there are a bunch of great cameras available (makes your head spin) I based this purchase on a key capability -- a wide angle greater than the usual 35mm equivalent and considered Nikon, Canon and a few other makes. Owning a Coolpix 995, and being an unabashed Nikon fan, the Coolpix 600 won out. One has to marvel at the electronic wizardry in today's cameras -- vibration reduction (hand-held shots that are sharp at as low as 1/4 sec shutter speed!), 10 megapixels and an interface I'm familiar with. Actually, it's even simpler to make changes than the 995. Of course, this isn't a Nikon D300 (my next purchase if I can justify it), but in the meantime, the Coolpix 600 is a camera I can carry easily and takes great pictures with all the advantages of the latest electronic features in an almost too small package. I do miss a viewfinder, but am essentially very happy with this purchase. It is a perfect compromise. I broke it in during a trip to Chicago and it will get a thorough workout in a couple of months in Dublin and Cornwall.

- amazing little camera
- I've had alot of compact digital cameras (I seem to have a penchant for losing them), mostly Canons and Sonys, but this little Nikon is by far the best. It takes the sharpest pictures and most of all, it's free of that annoying split second delay that you find on most digital cams. The battery life is decent, but it's a good idea to buy a second battery and keep it charged in the little cloth Nikon case you can buy with the camera. It fits in a shirt pocket and is ready to shoot at a moment's notice. I absolutely love it and recommend it without reservation. Now, if I can avoid losing it.....Nikon Coolpix S600 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Zoom with Vibration Reduction (Slate Black)

- Not worthy of the Nikon Brand.........
- I'm a long time Nikon shooter and have had a 5 different Coolpix compact digital cameras and have been quite pleased with the product design, software and most importantly the image quality. When my kids bent the lens on my P3 I was psyched to order the S600 - the specs looked terrific and it was oh so pocketable. The wide angle, high ISO and lightning fast startup all work as advertised. The big issue is shutter lag and auto focus. I tried many settings, the bottom line is, especially in indoor shooting, you press the shutter and nothing happens for a long time..... In Auto Mode, it also seemed to pick the wrong thing to focus on. Maybe with all of the "intelligence" the processor is thinking too much about what to do - I'm not going to try to figure it out - I'm shipping it back to Amazon. The other thing is the overall feel and quality of the product. The screen is huge and has good contrast and resolution. The rest of the camera body and especially the controls, are cheap and feel like they could fall apart at any minute. The battery door is flimsy, the battery and SD card slot are way too crowded and the cover for the cable connector would not stay closed. Come on Nikon, you have a great brand that lots of us trust - why put out such a cheap product? They could have made this camera 10% larger overall in size and made it 10% more expensive to put it into better fit and finish and shooting performance and it would have been the perfect compact high performance.
