Excellent pocket-sized camera you can take with you everyday! August 20, 2008
There are so many things that I like about this camera:
-small size. I didn't realize that it's smaller than the Sony W series of which I have owned a few. The Sony's are great, but the NIkon S600 is better if you want the smallest form factor with the best image quality. I also owned the Sony T200 and now I realized that Sony calling it ultra-slim is quite a joke since it really is bigger than the Nikon S cameras.
-Great image quality. I love the quality of the photos this little camera takes. I love vivid colors and I use the vivid settings all the time, and it gives me the right amount of color saturation and contrast to make my pics pop! The sharpness is also excellent.
-Great lens. The wide angle lens in this camera has excellent sharpness, consistently sharp from edge to edge, something you would expect from Nikon.
-Fast startup and autofocus times. I think this is as good as most other cameras, if not better.
There are some minor annoyances. The video, while quite excellent, loses sound a second before the video ends. This was true of the Nikon S510 which I formerly owned. I was hoping Nikon would have fixed it by now. I also wished you can go from viewing images to taking photos by half-pressing the shutter button like in other cameras like Sony and Canon, but no such luck. You have to press the play button to go from view mode to shooting mode.
While other brands give you more options for image parameters especially in the canons, bottom line for me is the excellent image quality and fast startup and autofocus performance of this camera. If you want the smallest form factor with the best image quality, then the Nikon Coolpix S600 is it!
Impressive little point and shoot August 19, 2008
This camera offers great bang for the buck. The shots you can take with it are absolutely fine - my wife is a pro photographer and loves this thing. You can carry it anywhere, take great photos, and then print them up nice and big without losing any quality.
If you are in the market for a relatively inexpensive point and shoot you should definitely add this camera to you list. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
 Nikon S600 July 31, 2008

MADE IN CHINA! Fast start up, but SLOW shutter. Small size, very pocketable. I have a Canon 790 IS, 3 inch lcd, out performs this S600 by leaps in all respects, and is made in Japan. Also, the S600 battery charger is cheapo corded unit, most up to date chargers are directly pluggable to hang on an outlet.
UPDATE: 8/19/08: No problems, battery life is reasonable. Really like the way the S600 crops, best yet! Simply select pic, zoom to larger size, select area to crop, press select button. VOILA! It re-records. This is one of the reasons that a high mega pixel camera is at an advantage. Wish that AMZ would stock the EN-EL10 battery as a "free ship" item, "Sellers" want S&H that is a 'lil steep. So far no regrets on buying this camera, would reccomend it as a nice P&S for the price on AMZ.

Fairly good product for the price.
Pros: Super fast start up. Intuitive interface. Beautiful outlook.
Cons: not so good auto white balance (but manual works well). Noisy at high ISO (but 200 is fairly good).
Bottom line: nice point-and-shoot small, handy camera. Recommended for shooting daily family photos.
 Disappointing Nikon July 22, 2008
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
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 find it a clumsy solution to what Panasonic has done so much better. It's difficult to switch modes as you have to use the wheel to identify on the display screen if you want portrait, bright sunlight, no flash etc. You might say that the camera takes care of most of these functions automatically and to a degree you'd be right. Except of course for those situations that you would need this otherwise fast start up camera to listen quickly to what you would want it to do! And here's the other thing: shutter lag. For its extremely fast startup, the S600 is just painfully slow in between shots, something I thought I could live with but that in practice is annoying to say the least. My last gripe is about the battery. If I don't use a camera for a few days I don't expect the battery to drain by itself. That's right, I have taken perhaps 15 pictures, most in broad daylight, then didn't use the camera for about 5 days and the battery was dead, empty, non-responsive. After a recharge the camera came back to life but how do you like that? Back to Panasonic for the wide angle lens. Nikon, shame on you.
