Nikon Coolpix S600

Nikon Coolpix S600

Price (MSRP): $299.95
Megapixel: 10
TYPE: Ultra-Thin Digital Compact


The 10-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S600 features an f/2.7-5.8, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) 4x zoom lens, and a 230,000-dot, 2.7-inch LCD with a 170-degree viewing angle. While optical image stabilization is not offered, the camera features Nikon's electronic image stabilization, which uses a motion-tracking system to calculate the optimal exposure settings for a sharp shot. Notable features include face-detection, redeye correction, Nikon's D-Lighting function for opening up shadow areas, and the company's Best Shot Selector, which takes a series of shots and saves the sharpest one. Also included are Nikon's standard 14 scene modes in addition to plain automatic shooting as well as an Active Child autofocus tracking mode. The S600, which runs on a lithium-ion battery, offers a top light-sensitivity setting of ISO 3200. The camera can capture 30fps VGA video with sound and can also shoot timelapse movies. A Face Zoom-in function is available in review mode for quickly magnifying faces as you scroll through images, as is a Pastel mode for applying watercolor effects to images. The Nikon Coolpix S600 will be available in March 2008 with a MSRP of $299.95.
