High-performance features such as 4-way VR image stabilization, scene auto selector, subject tracking, smile mode with blink proof make taking beautiful pictures incredibly easy.

Coolpix S620 Highlights

12.2 megapixels for stunning prints as large as 16 x 20 inches
Plenty of sharp resolution to capture the finest details, crop creatively and produce incredible enlargements.

4x wide-angle zoom-NIKKOR glass lens
Versatile zoom range that allows you to capture expansive landscapes or get close to the action. NIKKOR optics provide exceptional pictures. The lens is built on a proud heritage of producing precision camera optics that deliver superb color and razor-sharp results.

New EXPEED image processor
Ensures high-quality pictures with stunning color and sharpness. Nikon's comprehensive digital imaging processing concept incorporates know-how and technologies accumulated throughout our long history of photographic and digital imaging development. EXPEED is custom-tuned for Coolpix and applies optimized technologies to render natural-looking pictures of incredible quality and quick response so you will not miss that special moment. Incredible, Bright 2.7-inch High-Resolution LCD with wide viewing angle makes it easy to compose and share your pictures. In addition, the high-contrast and anti-reflection coating on the screen assist in clear viewing, even in direct sunlight.

4-Way VR Image Stabilization
  • Nikon's Optical VR Image Stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake with elements built into the camera's lens. This produces clearer, sharper results in lower lighting or unsteady conditions.
  • Motion Detection automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts the shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
  • High ISO 6400 Capability gives you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. This creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions. ISO 3200 and 6400 are available at full resolution.
  • Nikon's original Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and then saves the sharpest image.
Scene Auto Selector
Automatically recognizes the scene in your picture and adjusts the camera setting. Just set the camera to the Scene Auto Selector and the camera changes the settings according to the scene you are photographing, automatically. Subject Tracking will track a moving subject to ensure sharp focus. The camera will automatically track your subject--even if they temporarily move out of the frame.

Nikon's Smart Portrait System
  • In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically fixes most instances of red-eye in the camera. You may never see red-eye again.
  • Face-Priority AF is Nikon's face-finding technology that automatically focuses on up to 12 faces in a group portrait.
  • Smile Mode automatically releases the shutter when your subject smiles. The camera will detect the subject's smile and automatically fire the shutter.
  • Blink Proof enables the camera to take two pictures when the subject smiles and saves the shot in which the subject’s eyes are open.
  • D-Lighting rescues dark or backlit images by improving brightness and detail where needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Canon Killer, An incredible Camera, May 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S620 12.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Rich Pearl) (Electronics)
Many years ago I did quite a bit of photography; and so I know what it takes to get a great photo. Unfortunately the digital cameras, particularly the small ones, have been hampered by slow ability to capture light, and thus get clear pictures in Low light without a flash, or get great shots at High Speeds. Also the digital camera's ability to distinguish between a strong backlight, faces, a variety of scenes, like bright sun, shade, cloudy days, indoor light, has been poor, but gradually getting better across the last 4 years. This Nikon S620, solves all of those problems. All of these situations are corrected in this camera automatically if you want to just point and shoot. It is a master of computer engineering. For several years now with most of the strong brands, you could get good pictures in all the above situations, by correcting for red eye, selecting special scenes, and using tripods in low light. What I wanted to see if, with this Nikon, IF you set it to complete auto, you could get great pictures. Has the computer advanced far enough, where it could anticipate all these situations and give you a great picture? Answer is a resounding yes. I have tested this for a month, and I love it so much; I have now bought one for one of my daughters. This model as some professional reviews have said is a bit more practical for everyday situations, because of the wide angle. What it lacks in the Zoom, though the S630 is tempting; it makes up in speed, to handle all the above situations well. The controls are easy to operate. The high Megapixel count let you crop photos closer and still have a great picture; like the one I uploaded with the bird nesting. The anti-shake /vibration works well; to give you almost always clear shots, in these difficult situations.
UPDATE MAY 7th. : I looked at the S630 Product page and noticed 6 reviews, all but one positive. The one negative review, talks about noise in pictures and poor performance in low light. The speed rating of the 620 is much higher than the 630, at native resolution; thus resulting in sharper pictures in the extremes of photography, low light and high speed. I belive by my own photo's the 620 is a remarkable advancement in giving excellent pictures acorss the range. I am not saying, to not buy the 630; only that the powerful zoom in such a small camera is not without compromise. Thus there may be issues with that camera when used as an all around camera. If you are looking for an excellent all around camera; the Nikon S620 is THE one to buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny, powerful and fast., June 10, 2009
By Mark Dalzell (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S620 12.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Jet Black) (Electronics)
I purchased this S620 as a replacement for my aging and failing Coolpix S51. I was looking for something faster and smaller and this camera is definitely both of those things. It was a tough decision between this and the S630.. which has a slightly higher resolution and a 7x zoom, but I decided that the speed more than makes up for it.

The advertised .7 second startup time is pretty much right on... power button press to first image recorded is a little less than 2 seconds, and it can take 2 pictures in about 3 seconds in single mode. This varies a bit depending on light, subject and which extra features that you have on. The smile detector and blink proof are nifty toys, but I don't really care and I leave them off. It's true that it takes about 3 seconds to load up the zoom and other features, but if you just need to power up fast to catch an unexpected shot, then 2 seconds is all it takes.

The pictures it takes are very sharp and the colors are vibrant, and the macro works great down to less than 1". It takes pretty clear pictures in nearly pitch black, automatically adjusting to ISO 1600. I tried setting it to ISO 6400 to see what would happen but the resulting picture was mostly useless. It must be for high speed action rather than low light applications.

As for negatives, my biggest would be that the metering options are limited. The 2 choices are Matrix and Center Weighted, but the Center Weighted is all over the place. On my old S51 if you told it center, then it focused on whatever was in the center no matter what. The center weighting on the S620 tries to guess what you were aiming for somewhere near the center, and it's often not right.... so you have to keep trying until it figures out what you want. The other negative was already mentioned by another reviewer, and that's that Nikon uses a non-standard USB cable. I usually pull the card out to save battery power when I'm transferring pictures, but it's worth noting for other potential purchasers.

As a side note, I purchased this from J&R, and when it arrived it was the kit version, which included the Nikon 5811 leather case - so I'm glad I didn't spend the extra $18 on that... before you buy the case separately, check with the retailer to see if it's included.

** Update ** Okay - it's been a few weeks, a few thousand miles and 1000 or so pictures and I have one negative to add to my review. The camera boots up and shoots instantly and takes a few seconds to load up everything else, which is already known. What I discovered is that between about 2 and 4 seconds after the camera is turned on it won't do anything at all. So 0-2 seconds = take a picture, 2-4 seconds = miss your shot, 4+ seconds = full power. I tend to turn my camera off and was relying on the instant startup, but I had to plan accordingly if something was coming in 3 seconds that I wanted a shot of... :)

Otherwise, the camera has worked perfectly in every other respect so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera, Fast, Excellent Pictures, July 16, 2009
By JaysJob "Jay" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix S620 12.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Jet Black) (Electronics)
I love this camera. I also bought it to replace an aging digital (Kodak). I did a lot of research because for me $300+ is a lot of money. For my purposes, which is home inspection pictures, I could not be more pleased!

It is THE fastest starting, compact digital point and shoot out camera out there right now. The speed of startup is very important to me. The old camera took about 7+ secs. to start. This one is about 1.5 like others have said but, not all the functions are available for another second or so depending on which features you have enabled. It shuts off just as fast. I turn the camera on and off a lot and it adds up over the course of a day.

The other nice thing about this camera is that it is almost a pro-sumer camera. It's a great blend of a high end digital SLR features and the ease of point and shoot. I know it's not a $2,000 SLR so pros please don't blast me. What I mean is that it takes excellent photos in a wide range of situations, automatically. Auto is the setting I use most because, unlike a lot of other cameras, other Coolpix included, it does do what it is supposed to do. Odd huh? Funny when that is the exception instead of the norm.

That said, it is easy enough to use right away and has list of features deep enough for anyone wanting to manually set any or all the the controls manually. There is an automatic setting, the one I use most of the time, which is like any other auto setting people are used to but, there is also an *automatic* SCENE setting. So it's not just inside vs outside or flash vs no flash. No guessing or fiddling with "Is this a sport shot or a back lit situation?". That will change to the best scene mode available, automatically. It's all the cool features I was ever promised on other cameras, delivered.

It also has an automatic lens cover which is awesome. My other one was always clanging around one way or another. Putting it on or taking it off sometimes I would accidentally touch the front of the lens and it drove me nuts!

The stabilization is also very good. I shake a lot when taking photos and this camera has two stabilization methods. You can use one or the other or both or none. Depending on how you set the camera up it, works very well. I used to have to carry a mono pod with me all the time. I now leave it at home.

The panorama feature is also one of the best and easiest I have ever used. It overlays the last shot to the next in the LCD as you take the series of photos. It can pan left, right, up or down. Very cool!

The only con I can think of is that the LCD screen on the back of the camera is flush with the back of the case, like an iPod, and I am afraid I'll forget and set it down on its back and scratch the screen. I am looking for one of those silicone skin covers to give it a smidgen of inset to prevent this from happening. So no worries there for me.

Aside from that one issue the camera is just great and I am very happy with my purchase.

Whether you want to take no hassle pictures or dig into all the settings available (which you don't have to) it really is a wonderful camera!

There is so much more I could say but you're probably tired of reading by now. :0)

PS. After owning the camera for a week I bought a nice Nikon neoprene case fitted just for this camera for $15 at Target that works like a charm!
