 - nikon cooolpix s60This was a used camera and I received it in the mail. The battery would not charge up. I used another nikon charger to see if it was the battery or the charger. It was the charger. I sent the charger back and another was sent to me in the mail. Its not from the original manufaturer (Nikon). The camera has turned out to be ok, but the moral of the story is to pay a the extra $ and get it new, at least when it comes to cameras. Rating:  - Worst Pictures Ever!!!I purchased this camera for the holidays and sad to say I had better pictures with my cell phone... I returned it back to the store. The camera has a nice campaign with Ashton...the camera also looks neat with being all touch screen but at the end the camera doesn't do what it suppose to do... take good pictures!!! Rating: - Typical Nikon Point and Shoot flawsIn the U.S., Nikon is certainly marketing its point and shoot cameras better than Canon or Sony. The Nikon team uses a simple formula to win market share: Pay young, good looking actors and actresses to promote flashy, novel products. This was the case with the Coolpix S60 - a touch screen, in camera editing, a high megapixel count, Ashton.... But the "good stuff ends there." I purchased the camera for a friend one year ago against my better judgement. I could tell in the store that the picture quality was very poor. It is among the worst I have even seen. The White Balance is always off; especially indoors. The contrast is poor; even in the best lighting situations images look far to gray. The color reproduction is ok for dark blues, purples and magentas, but poor for blacks, whites, and yellows. Sharpness is ok - consistent with what you would see on most other point and shoots. As with all Nikon cameras (even DSLR's) digital noise (the grainy patches of hot white and errant red and blue pixels) is awful! If you are going to puchase a Nikon point and shoot, purchase noise reduction software too (Neat image is cheap, EASY to use, and can work as a standalone product). Besides picture quality, which is the most important aspect of the camera for me, the navigation is tricky. Switching camera settings (i.e. landscape to portrait) is time consuming. The touch screen navigation is inferior and glicthes often - the touch screen on my Verizon voyager is so much more accurate and responsive. I have to say something positive, otherwise it might appear that I have some strong bias against Nikon (which I do) or point and shoots in general (which isn't 100% true - they can be useful). The fact that the lense doesn't extend from the camera is awesome! You don't miss the extra optical zoom in most cases, and the chance of the lense snapping is gone. All in all, shop around before you make this purchase. Check out the other major camera vendors, or even another P&S within the Nikon brand. -Hidden Light Photography BHO Rating:  - Poor quality display and photosBought this camera and took with us to Disney. Pictures looked crummy on the screen, but we hoped it was just the screen. Once uploaded the pictures looked just as crummy. (Luckily, we also had our SLR on the trip) Obviously, nothing will look as good as an SLR, but the S60 was pretty bad. We returned it this morning for a Cybershot-TX1 that looks to be MUCH better all around. Rating:  - Fantastic Point and Shoot Camera, users MUST USE common sense though...So with all of the negative reviews I read I decided to take a chance because we were in need of a new point and shoot since our Kodak was pretty much useless and ate batteries like a guest during Thanksgiving dinner. OMG, some of you casual users out there are dead wrong about this camera! This camera is perfect for anyone looking for a simple, easy to use point and shoot with a large display screen that is compact enough to be "Johnny on the spot" when it comes to taking pictures. There is a VERY SMALL learning curve when it comes to getting used to the interface as almost everything is done through the touch screen interface, which pretty much sums up one of the key features of this camera which some have complained about... this is a touch screen camera. iPhone users like myself will find it to be a smooth transition, some might find different if anything, but different in a good way once you get used to it. Picture quality is where many of you are destroying this camera and kicking it to the curb. Wait just one second there before you turn your back on this little gem. The quality of these pictures, WHEN THE PICTURES ARE TAKEN USING COMMON SENSE, is on par with my SLR camera. Let me explain in very simple terms for you haters out there, in low light situations, AS WITH ANY CAMERA, you have to consider many variables including whether or not you want to use a flash AND whether or not the subject is moving. If you are not using a flash and your trying to get that last picture of drunken Timmy as he stumbles around trying to keep his balance and there is absolutely no light... by all means if you are upset about the picture you capture you should probably blame the genius photographer instead of the camera itself. I'm sure these are the same people that blame the tree for moving out in front of their car. Anyways, the camera takes excellent pictures if you use common sense. If you take the time to learn the features and scene modes of the camera, you will be just fine. If a picture or two doesn't appear exactly as you want it, delete it and try again! Imagine that, we're not working with film here... The video mode of this camera is the only feature that leaves room for improvement, but it still gets the job done. But guess what shoppers... if you want a digital video recorder you probably shouldn't be purchasing a camera! Overall, this camera gets 5 stars. Nikon managed to integrate fantastic picture quality that they are known for into touch screen technology all found in a compact device. For all the haters, go pick up a Fuji or Kodak that will do all of the "flawless" thinking for you. Those should be simple enough for you to figure out and it'd be cool to have a camera with an equal intelligence level I'm sure. |
