Nikon S600 Reviewed by Trusted Reviews
This point and shoot is crammed with features but is it worth the price?
Trusted Reviews has a look at the Nikon S600 which is the latest of the camera company’s resurgence in the compact digital camera market.
In terms of specification the S600 is the second-from-top of the Coolpix S-series, surpassed only by the 12-megapixel S700reviewed here in January. The S600 is a 10-megapixel model, featuring a 4x zoom Nikkor lens with a 28mm-equivalent wide angle, optical image stabilisation, a 2.7-inch high-resolution wide-view monitor and a robust brushed-steel body available in either gunmetal or black. Despite that tempting list of features it measures a pocket-friendly 88.5 x 53 x 22.5 mm and weighs just 130g.
Needless to say, a camera like this doesn’t come cheap. The S600 has a current list price of £249.99, and even the online discount retailers are asking around £220. The most obvious comparisons are with the Panasonic FS20, which is slightly cheaper at £180, and the 5x zoom Canon IXUS 970 IS, which with a list price of £299.99 makes even the Nikon look reasonably economical.
So you might want to take a look at the S600 which has plenty of bells and whistles but you’ll have to pay for it. For the full information, head on over to Trusted Reviews.
