Description — Nikon Coolpix 600
The Nikon COOLPIX 600 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch, 0.3MP sensor that captures images at a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels in sRGB color. The camera's metal body measures just 43 x 24 x 18 mm and weighs 210g, prioritizing portability above all else. A 2-inch Po-Si TFT LCD display and an optical viewfinder offer two options for framing shots.
Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 1 focus point, without subject or eye tracking. The ISO range spans 100 to 320, and burst shooting is available at up to 3 frames per second. Images are written to CompactFlash (CF) media.
Lighting can be supplemented via the proprietary hot shoe, which accepts the detachable SB-E600 flash. Power is supplied by either the EN-1 NiMH rechargeable battery or 4x AA batteries with an adapter, yielding approximately 100 shots per charge. No image stabilization is present, and there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
