5 out of 5 stars Reviews were true   September 6, 2008
E. Chidambaram (New Jersey, USA)
I read the reviews for both S600 & S700 and chose 600 over 700 as that had better reviews and it's true. The main reason I got it was for its 4x Wide angle zoom and its at night capability. It's an excellent camera if you want to upgrade your existing digital camera for a reasonable price.


5 out of 5 stars Simply great value   September 6, 2008
Alex Sokol (Boston, MA)
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.

3 out of 5 stars Nikon Coolpix S600   September 4, 2008
Stephen G. Warshaw (Waminster, Pa)
Camera is light, easy to handle, simple to operate, picture quality is excellent. Big drawback is shutter lag which is really annoying.


4 out of 5 stars Good Camera, buy a spare battery   August 25, 2008
Stephen Weldon (Dublin / New York)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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
