- Beware Shutter Lag
- The picture quality is great. The menus and features are good, but the shutter lag seems to be too long. The reason I bought this camera was because of its quick start-up time, but it seems to be canceled out by its long shutter lag.
Still a nice camera, but wouldn't recommend it to spontaneous photographers. - 2008-06-08, 7 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- I'm in love!!!
- On my recent late May birthday, I bought myself the new little Nikon CoolPix S-600. I have owned a variety of SLR cameras, and recently moved to a digital one. My other small camera is a Sony Cybershot (4 yr. old technology)that has created some fantastic pix; but, nothing compared to my baby Nikon. This is my first Nikon camera...ever. I was always put off by what I perceived as a lack of Nikon "user friendliness." I spent a lot of time trying to decide which small camera to purchase, set a maximum price I'd pay, and narrowed down the brand field to Sony and Nikon. The wide angle lens, number of pixels, and exciting creative modes were all attractive. It was, however, when I actually stood in a store and played with the clever rotary dial that I was sold. The modes are so simple to access via the dial. It only took a short time and a bit of study in the manual, and I was off. I felt so unencumbered. I didn't need to drag the instruction book around (I still have to refer to my Sony book sometimes as the multiple menu levels are complicated and difficult to navigate). Nikon's backlight mode is amazing. Macro shots are breath-taking.
This is absolutely a must have camera for the person who loves to take fabulous pictures with a camera that does not require a technology degree to operate! Nikon definitely lives up to its well deserved reputation. Out of 200+ shots, only a very few were discarded...and not because the camera couldn't deliver. Yes...I agree that the camera's battery life is shorter than some; but, I will happily purchase a backup battery to have this little sweetheart always ready to perform its magic! This is one purchase that caused me absolutely no buyer's remorse. It's pretty close to perfection!

- Big Things Come In Small Packages
- The Nikon name, camera size, 10mp and 4x Wide Angle Zoom were the features that led us to purchase this camera. We have taken several hundred pictures and are completely satisfied with the picture quality, on-camera editing features and the size of the LED! It's great for point and shoot, with a quick start-up and little lag time between shots! The price has dropped three times since we purchased the camera and sd card, but Amazon has been great about giving credits to reflect the lower price!

- Small, Efficient, Great Photos for Pocket Camera
- I have owned many point and shoot, pro film, and DSLR's over the years. This Nikon I think it is a great little camera. Fast start up and good time btwn shots compared to almost others in the 10mp range. It is nice and compact and fits in a variety of pockets. Has a 4x zoom and a nice 2.7 inch screen and the good VR image stablizer like it's professional lenses for DSLRs. As for me this type of camera is great for daytime shoots outside, and useful for simple snap shots at a party.
This is a small camera and although they rate with 3200 for low light. It does what it says it will do but don't expect that to be great on the dark end/low light. When shooting with a pro level camera at 3200 and 6400 you can get some really nifty shots, but with these little point and shoots it will be grainier and darker most likely. All I can say is know your cameras limits.
Read reviews, research and best of all even purchase a couple you really like and test them in every way without any damage and keep the one that bests works for you and return the others. Amazon and many of it's partners have fair return policies for undamaged and all packing contents for returns.
Remember everyone has a varying view on what they think looks good or correct color and or light and dark. So try the cameras out in stores and even friends before committing fully to any one camera. all in all this is one of the best point and shoots from Nikon for the purposes I have used it for. - 2008-05-30, 11 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great little camera
- Great camera in a small package with all-round useability. The scene modes are very good (especially active child). My only complaint would be the fact that the high ISO performance isn't really that great, but that's what my D300 is for.
