A camera’s priority should always be on the quality of pictures it produced and this is something that the Nikon Coolpix S600 took by heart. This 10-megapixel camera packs a mean package for a sub-$300 camera: a 4X (28â€"112mm) zoom lens, 2.7-inch LCD, image stabilization, and a scroll wheel. Camera colors and design may be limited, but the reviewer noted that overall, the camera looks handsome. Using the S600 was made even easier thanks to the scroll wheel that allows for quick menu navigation. The S600 takes less than a second to start up and be ready to take pictures, something which Nikon claims as the world’s fastest. When it comes to performance, the reviewer stated that the S600 consistently took great pictures. Colors were realistic with just the right touch of saturation. The lens allowed for ample zooming for those wide-angle scenes. Shots of moving objects were relatively sharp despite some image noise issues. A movie mode is available though it had an erratic zoom and so-so sound. A fast start-up, a small body and superb performance makes the Nikon Coolpix S600 the best sub-$300 camera in the market.
