 Disappointing Nikon July 22, 2008
3 out of 3 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.
 Great Camera July 19, 2008
I have no idea why this camera got so many bad reviews. I find it to be a great camera with awesome features and ease of operation. Pictures are crisp and lusterous in color.
Great camera July 7, 2008
Very fast camera. I've taken several pics in low light environments without the use of the flash and have excellent quality images. Also the VR feature has saved many shots taken from a moving vehicle. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a point & shoot camera.Nikon Coolpix S600 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Zoom with Vibration Reduction (Slate Black)
 Beware the dreaded "lens error" July 5, 2008
6 out of 11 found this review helpful
Very clever, capable and pocketable P&S, but far too fragile for most purposes. My S600 became a piece of junk in <3 weeks of routine use after succumbing to the fatal and all-too-common "lens error". None of the user fixes described on the internet could revive it.
All 8 previously owned digital SLR and P&S cameras have proven far more durable than this otherwise worthy P&S.
IMO, an unrecoverable failure mode as prevalent as the 'lens error' is prima facie evidence of a fundamental design flaw, but Nikon considers it prima facie evidence of user mishandling. Their 'warranty' repair fee generally exceeds the street price of the camera.
NB: At the very least, this camera requires a case stiff enough to preclude =any= possibility of inadvertent power-up, the most likely proximal cause of death for my S600.

I am very pleased with this very small, compact Nikon camera. The telephoto, and wide angle are exceptional.. With the added free shipping, to the already low price, the value was superb.. A++ Brian
