| Conclusion: |
 |
| The Nikon Coolpix S600 packs 10-megapixels, but compared to cheaper 8-megapixel compacts from Nikon, it lacks zoom, manual controls, and dynamic range. The interface is clean, the camera itself looks nice, and the inclusion of optical image-stabilization is always a plus, but it seems that the main selling point of the S600 is its aggrandized megapixel-count, and that simply isn't justification enough for its high price. If image quality and size are tantamount, then we recommend saving up a bit for a prosumer with a larger sensor; if point-and-shoot functionality are most important, then other cameras may better fit the bill. |
