Review

June 2008, Nikon COOLPIX S600 Review

by Adrian Lam

ABC.com’s Adrian Lam recently called the Nikon COOLPIX S600 a good camera in a small package. Lam boasted that the Nikon COOLPIX S600 had incredible image quality and was the perfect camera for the photographer on the go. Lam stated that the S600 produced great images because of its good color range and superb red-eye reduction. He later concluded that the S600 was a sleek camera with extremely easy-to-use controls and settings and a quick start-up time. Overall, he found the Nikon COOLPIX S600 to be a sharp little camera with some blaring speed.
