I recently bought this camera on amazon.
It is a great camera. I was concerned about all the negative reveiws but I had to try it out. It is as good as any other P&S camera out there. The touch screen is very cool if you are into it. if not buy one of the nikons without a touch screen. It takes excellent pictures for a P&S. I think some reveiwers just didn't read the manual on how to use the settings or had expectations of an slr. this is a cool little camera, that fits in your pocket. Buy it.....Major Wheelock, New Hampshire |

I researched this camera extensively,read many reviews and to be honest with you thought I made a mistake in buying this product. Don't listen to the negitive its all bull this camera is a great product,touch screen works very well,I can see where people wrote that the display is grainy, but they hesitate to tell you in very low light,other than that its good.
Picture quality I think is excellent. The reviews went 50/50 but I would say dismiss the negative 50%. |
lovin it!

| I have loved loved loved my new camera. The quality of the pictures is awesome for a small digital camera. I love the fact that when you move the camera from side to side the picture changes positions like an iPod. The settings work fantastic as well and I love the touch screen. It also takes pictures close up very well. The resolution is good where as with other cameras I've had a problem of close ups. I recommend this camera for everyone-maybe not if you have really big or clumsy fingers because you might not like the touch screen since the icons are kind of small. |
The S60 is awesome!

| Why all the negative reviews? The S60 surpassed all my expectations... The camera is gorgeous and quite an eye-catcher! The touch screen is responsive and I find that using the stylus helps against fingerprints. The screen is nice and big but, like some other reviews, is just a bit grainy. Rest assured, however, that the actual quality of the image is far superior than what you see on the screen. Images are crystal clear and true to color! The S60 is very user-friendly, but make sure to read through the manual for proper settings to ensure perfection; it is definitely not as long and tedious as other reviewers make it seem. I love this camera and I highly recommend it! |
Fantastic Point and Shoot Camera, users MUST USE common sense though...

So with all of the negative reviews I read I decided to take a chance because we were in need of a new point and shoot since our Kodak was pretty much useless and ate batteries like a guest during Thanksgiving dinner. OMG, some of you casual users out there are dead wrong about this camera! This camera is perfect for anyone looking for a simple, easy to use point and shoot with a large display screen that is compact enough to be "Johnny on the spot" when it comes to taking pictures. There is a VERY SMALL learning curve when it comes to getting used to the interface as almost everything is done through the touch screen interface, which pretty much sums up one of the key features of this camera which some have complained about... this is a touch screen camera. iPhone users like myself will find it to be a smooth transition, some might find different if anything, but different in a good way once you get used to it.
Picture quality is where many of you are destroying this camera and kicking it to the curb. Wait just one second there before you turn your back on this little gem. The quality of these pictures, WHEN THE PICTURES ARE TAKEN USING COMMON SENSE, is on par with my SLR camera. Let me explain in very simple terms for you haters out there, in low light situations, AS WITH ANY CAMERA, you have to consider many variables including whether or not you want to use a flash AND whether or not the subject is moving. If you are not using a flash and your trying to get that last picture of drunken Timmy as he stumbles around trying to keep his balance and there is absolutely no light... by all means if you are upset about the picture you capture you should probably blame the genius photographer instead of the camera itself. I'm sure these are the same people that blame the tree for moving out in front of their car.
Anyways, the camera takes excellent pictures if you use common sense. If you take the time to learn the features and scene modes of the camera, you will be just fine. If a picture or two doesn't appear exactly as you want it, delete it and try again! Imagine that, we're not working with film here...
The video mode of this camera is the only feature that leaves room for improvement, but it still gets the job done. But guess what shoppers... if you want a digital video recorder you probably shouldn't be purchasing a camera! Overall, this camera gets 5 stars. Nikon managed to integrate fantastic picture quality that they are known for into touch screen technology all found in a compact device. For all the haters, go pick up a Fuji or Kodak that will do all of the "flawless" thinking for you. Those should be simple enough for you to figure out and it'd be cool to have a camera with an equal intelligence level I'm sure. |
