2.0 out of 5 stars More Cool than Functional, September 24, 2008

This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Espresso Black) (Electronics)
So I was really excited to get my new S60 and I've been playing with it all day. This is my first Nikon and I've owned 2 Casio's and 2 Cannon's previously so I did a lot of research prior to making this purchase. The thing I really liked about this unit was the 5X zoom in an enclosed casing. I seem to always get dirt inside my lens.

The touch screen interface is awful. You have to have tiny fingers to operate the interface with any efficacy. You pretty much have to use two hands to take photos. I found the low lux image quality to be pretty bad. On the positive side the speed of photos seems to be better than past Coolpix Nikon's.

The touch screen and the software interface is ultimately this unit's downfall. To change any of the photo settings outside of flash (which is locked out on many scenes) you have to return to main menu which takes awhile to load. Bottom line with this unit is you will spend more time trying to operate the camera than taking quality pictures. Nikon produced a pure disappointment with the S60.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Optics..Poor Interface Technology, September 28, 2008
By 
XYZeus "XYZeus" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Espresso Black) (Electronics)
This is my first digital camera from Nikon and unfortunately Nikon has left me somewhat dissapointed. Perhaps, I was expecting too much.

I was surprised to see that this camera was made in Vietnam. I guess I am not used to it. Unfortunately, with this product, Nikon has made me fear buying anything else that is made in Vietnam. But who knows, I may not have a choice in the future. Perhaps, that is too harsh to assume that a country's man power is at fault. So then the blame would have to lie with Nikon itself.

The idea of a touchscreen intrigued me as both this camera and the Sony DSC-T700 have that feature this Fall but I went with the Nikon because of its optics reputation, its supposed expeed engine and the fact that I did not want a propietary memory card like Sony's.

I have been testing the camera in all sorts of environments or scenes as Nikon calls them. I believe 18 in all. The shots for the most part are good quality. I am impressed with the nighttime shots in low light. I also like the sports scene where seven pictures are taken in succession. The manaul says 14 but that is an error.

The touchscreen is cool but it lags a lot. Sometimes when you slide your finger across when you are viewing your work, the pictures gets stuck mid way and you have to drag your finger across again. Perhaps this could be because of the dirty screen. After all, with all the adjusting and configuring, no doubt the screen will have residue from your finger tip. If this is the case, then Nikon should have thought this out.

The icons on the screen are not that big so sometimes my fat fingers "touches" the wrong one or rather the camera senses the wrong icon. And sure, Nikon provides a stylus which would be more exact in touching but the only place to attach it is on the provided camera strap which could easily get lost.

When you take pictures lengthwise you can turn the camera around and the accelerometer will adjust the image to the correct position. Unfortunately, it lags as well when it does this. Sometimes it does not do it at all.

I have also been having issues with recording images on my memory card. It seems that the expeed engine gets overwhelmed easy because sometimes I get a "File contains no image data" when I am trying to take pictures in quick succession. It seems you have to give the camera some breathing room before it can begin processing the next request. So again, you wait.
Sometimes I get a red stripe through the image and sometimes the whole screen freezes and the only way I have been able to reset it is by removing the battery and reinserting it. Of course, none of these are addressed in the trouble shooting section of the manual.

Battery life is shorter than what Nikon claims. I am only getting about 75 shots. With a 3.5 lcd screen and with the flash and the viewing, I am sure the battery is taxed but you can always carry another battery I guess. Still, its a nuisance.

I realize that this is a camera for early adopters and of course there are kinks so my only wish is that Nikon would upgrade the hardware/software to make it faster and more responsive and less buggy-and then send me one. I am hoping I did not get a lemon.

If you have patience and want to play with a new interface in taking good quality pictures, then I say purchase this but remember you have to be patient. If you want something less troublesome, I would say stay away or wait for the next generation as Nikon has a lot of work to do with this type of camera.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool looks, lukewarm performance, May 18, 2009

This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Espresso Black) (Electronics)
I bought this camara for three reasons: the touch screen technology, the sleek design, and it wasn't as pricey is the comparative Sony. I love the sleek design of the Nikon and in my opinion, its one of the better looking slim camaras on the market. But the people at Nikon could have paid a little more attention to detail like the folks at Sony. For example, the power button is exposed, as opposed to the Sony's which has a gaurd so that you don't accidently turn it on/off. This isn't such a big deal, but when you go to places like a theme park, you don't want to worry about your camara accidently turning on inside the case, and running out of batteries (which happened a couple of times for ). It's someting you have to watch out for constantly, which is a bit annoying. Plus, instead of one single flash, the Nikon's is a series of flashes that always manage to blind people.

As for the touch screen, its pretty cool, but like the on/off switch, you have to be really careful not to hit the wrong buttons, and its not like I have big oafy finers either.

Now, for the most important aspect of any camara. Picture quality. When I first used it, the picture quality was so-so compared to my friends' Sonys and Canons. But after twinkling around with it (and actually reading the manual) I found out there were many different options to make the picture quality improve. After I discovered those options, the picture quality was just as good as any of the aforementioned brands. However, the Nikon seems to be overly complicated for no reason. For example, why not automatically take out red-eyes, or automatically adjust to the environment's lighting? You actually have to manually adjust those things yourself.

For everday camara use, I think the Nikon is just a tad bit too complicated and comes with too many little annoyances, like the on/off button. The Sony may be pricier, and the Canon may not be as cool looking, but they both seem to be much more user friendly.
