Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Crimson Red)

Nikon Coolpix is a great product, but it will be a very long time before I order electronics via Amazon. And I will never order electronics with Amazon when there is any time sensitivity. The product itself is great. My son can't get enough of it. Takes it wherever he goes and my entire family loves the extraordinary clarity of the pictures. Every photos is crisp, clean, sharp. There really isn't anything to think about. If you want one, get one. If you order it here, buyer beware. My son saved his money and I ordered the Nikon Coolpix S60 from Amazon because it was a good price compared to in-store. He wanted it for all the graduation events coming up for him and thought to save a bit of money. He has regretted it ever since. So have I. When the expected delivery date came and went, he was disappointed. I explained that things happen. I understood, but he had to understand, too, that the expected delivery date was not a guaranteed delivery date. Ok, so he missed one event with his friends: there were many others. Ten days later, having now missed several events, I called Amazon customer service and was assured it would arrive the next day. It didn't. He (and I) missed another irreproducible graduation event. When it didn't arrive as promised, I called customer service a second time. This time I was promised it would arrive next day before noon. It didn't. In fairness, it came that day, but around 6pm. The camera is great. Get it--elsewhere. My complaint is with Amazon. The delivery system needs an overhaul. Customer service was horrendous. When the camera did finally arrive two weeks after the expected delivery date, there was no explanation, no "all out recovery." Sure, they paid over-night shipping, but it wasn't over-night: it was 14 days late! Caveat Emptor.

Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Crimson Red) I bought this camera to take to Italy with me and it did a fantastic job . My pictures were clear and it 's ease of operation made me appreciate it even more. It was light and easy to travel with and the touch screen is very responsive yet not overly sensitive that it would do commands without me wanting them. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great picture and is not familiar with having a digital before.

I have had much better experience with my Nikon S60 than the other reviewers. We were headed on a vaction to Big Sur, and the cameras came out 2 weeks before we left. First one I received from Amazon had a cold solder joint internal to the camera, and would quit working when exposed to a 5 to 10 degree temp change. Amazon quickly replaced it (Thanks Amazon) and we were off to the coast. Took about 200 pics and videos during the trip, with most being big scenery. I agree with the other reviewers about the screen delay....but that is why it got a 4 instead of a 5. Picture quality was good, and the screen was easy to read, with no deciphering functions of tiny buttons grouped together like other P&S I tried. Once using the camera, it was easy to switch between still and video, though it took about 3 screen taps. Zoom was impressive, including the digital zoom. Using the digital zoom, you have to be stabilized on something...tripod, fence, etc or the pics come out blurry. I took some great face shots of harbor seals that were about 25 feet away, but I had the camera on the pier handrail for stability. Video was good, but the microphone is very susceptible to wind noise. I am going to check into making a foam cover for it. Camera ON time is very quick...3 seconds so you don't miss the shot waiting for the camera to wake up. One "feature" I was confused about...I accidentally shot video instead of still, with the camera in the vertical position. So to watch the video, I have to look sideways. Nikon does not supply software to right these images. Windows Moviemaker will do it though. Transfer of the pics to computer works great...but don't do it without using their software if you want to play the images back using the HDMI feature. Camera keeps files of pic info, and if you make any changes to any of the pics, the info files don't match the pics and the camera does not recognize the pics anymore. You can still download via the memory card, you just can't use those cool playback features any more. I imagine that is a software upgrade that Nikon will correct. Overall I am happy with the camera, and look forward to many years' use.

I have loved loved loved my new camera. The quality of the pictures is awesome for a small digital camera. I love the fact that when you move the camera from side to side the picture changes positions like an iPod. The settings work fantastic as well and I love the touch screen. It also takes pictures close up very well. The resolution is good where as with other cameras I've had a problem of close ups. I recommend this camera for everyone-maybe not if you have really big or clumsy fingers because you might not like the touch screen since the icons are kind of small.

I am happy with the research that I did for this camera. It has all the functions that I need and has resolved a lot of issues associated with picture taking for me. The camera has virtually eliminated blurred, red eyed, eyes closed, no exposure pictures. The large screen on the back lends to the correct positioning of the subject you are shooting. The touch screen makes it easier to select how you want to shoot and review what you have shot. After going through several cameras that have fallen short of the features that this camera has, I think this is a keeper. It is really easy for my wife to use also. In fact, it is hard to get it away from her.

It was a gift

I don't understand the bad reviews that this camera has gotten. To me it is like my iPhone, intuative and easy to use! Takes great pictures too! My only disapointment is that a premium priced Point & Shoot camera like the S60 Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Burgundy) should not have been shipped without a SDHD memory card (even if only limited capacity!). Make sure you buy this camera AND a SDHD card at the same time, without the card you will have only 9 or 10 photos before you must delete or download to your computer.

I ordered this Nikon S60. It was clearly said on the item description that the item is brand new. I received the product and is damaged. The picture was blur, eventhough I set it as automatic. I know what the picture resolution should be, specially for 10 MP! It made horrible pictures, even a disposable camera would make better pictures! I was so disapointed by this, I really like the camera feature, I love the touch screen, it's my dream pocket camera. So I had to return it, and thank's God, they gave me a refund, but then I have to search for the camera again that fit me and not broken one. I was so dissapointed that a big company like Amazon could make a big mistake like this. I will not buy anything anymore from this company.
