Still astonished by this camera
I bought this camera for an overseas trip last month. I didn't want to carry my large Nikon DSLR this time, but I didn't want the too much compromise of a standard point and shoot either, like my old and faithful Canon SD600.
I'm still surprised by the outstanding quality of the images and the versatility it provides.
The key points for me:
- Wide angle, 28 mm equivalent (18mm in a digital SLR). Very important to get more in the picture. There are no many compact cameras wit...

Not bad for the price I returned the elegant S52 to buy this one.
There is a lot to like about this little gem. It's small, only a fraction thicker than my old Elph and smaller in two dimensions. It's very easy to use, and the scroll dial helps speed things along, though its not nearly as smooth as the dial on the S52. The basic control layout is acceptable, though still overall inferior to Canon's. The screen is big, bright, and beautiful. The image sensor is stellar, and the high ISO can't be beat...

Overview of the S600 I bought this camera as a replacement for my old Nikon Coolpix 7900 whose
monitor screen went bad for no apparent reason. Since Wolfe Camera said it would probably cost $200 to repair, I opted for a new camera. I almost returned this camera and can only give it four stars since it DOES NOT have the panoramic assist feature as clearly stated in your specifications. The 7900 had this invaluable feature, which make panoramic landscapes a snap. Nor does it have a viewfinder like the 7900 wh...

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 a...

Review of Nikon S600 Digital Camera Nikon Coolpix S600 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Zoom with Vibration Reduction (Slate Black)Great little point and shoot camera. Good color saturation and sharpness. Love the movie mode. Great for taking short movies up to ten minutes. The optical vibration reduction works well. The high ISO setting allows good shots indoors without flash. Would highly recommend to a friend.

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.

Size Doesn't Matter - Impressive! I own a Nikon D70, so I'm a little jaded when it comes to image quality. This little thing with a slim profile and a big clear lcd screen feels well-made in the hands. It is point and shoot picture taking at its best.
I bought this for my husband who isn't a natural photographer. He needed something that would fit in his chest pocket of his uniform on overseas deployments. The Nikon Coolpix S600 is about the size of a razor cellphone, but just slightly thicker. The buttons seem n...

Very nice little point and shoot This is a very nice little point and shoot. I had purchased it for a friend to be able to use to just take snapshots, and during a short vacation getaway found that the image quality was just about as good as my more expensive compact digital camera -- easy to use, fast start-up, and lots of scene modes.
Note that the out-of-the-box configuration is not all that great for action shots -- make sure you familiarize yourself with the scene modes already set up by Nikon -- you'll find a h...

Slim, sharp, great features, easy to use Received this camera as a gift before a trip overseas. Didn't have time to do more than charge the battery and go, so no reading the manual. It was easy to use, had a decent battery life (though, yes, you do need to recharge it daily if using it all day). I received an extra memory card, which can hold 1600 pics (didn't try the video). The response time was fast in taking multiple shots. "Scene" settings were really helpful for action shots and different light situations. Clearly I am not ...

Disappointing Nikon Got this camera for the wide angle lens, Nikon name and small size only to be sorely disappointed. The pictures are great, don't get me wrong, and I agree with the other reviews. However, as you can see there are one or two people who rate this camera very negatively. They are right, and I suspect that others who would rank this Nikon very low are just not bothering to write. If your fingers are just the right size I bet you'd find the scroll wheel very handy to navigate all the features. I just...
