BIG BIG BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for Nikon. So, soccer moms.this is not the camera. I always enjoyed Nikon and this camera has been a huge disappointed. I takes along time to do quick action pictures compared to other cameras. It also picks up a lot of red in burnette hair.
My last camera had a 10x optical, so it was a little disappointing to go down to a 4x, but that's pretty standard for your average digital point-and-shoot. I'm very pleased with this product. The camera is nice for its compact size and large screen. Battery life is decent, but a spare wouldn't be a bad idea. The pictures are sharp and clear, and the camera comes with tons of different functions that are more than just fancy titles. I bought this camera to upgrade from a 5 megapixel Kodak, and I was pleased as soon as I opened the box. The Night Landscape function was particularly impressive; a steady hand or, even better, a tripod will take awesome pictures of low light scenes. The only thing that bothers me about the camera is the optical zoom.
This is a great little camera. I especially like the fact that it takes good pictures in low light when you can't use a flash.
The image quality wasn't that great either. The cover to the zoom stopped closing after a month or so, then it stopped moving in and out altogether after that final drop. I know they're more expensive, but not if you have to keep replacing this flimsy thing. I know cameras aren't made to be dropped, but this one REALLY doesn't do well for klutzy people. I dropped it maybe 3 times before it broke. Get an Olympus, they're more durable and take better photos.
There's much I still have to learn but it's been lots of fun doing it with this camera. Very user friendly and all the modes that I was looking for in a camera. I'm a beginning photography student. I have many camera's but this Nikon Coolpix S600 (10MP)has EVERYTHING a person could want. It shoots in Standard Color, Vivid Color, Sepia, B&W, Cyanotype and Pastel but it also has all the standard shooting modes we've gotten used to having.
