Camera OverviewNikon B600

The Nikon COOLPIX B600 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Nikon's EXPEED image processor. The ISO range runs from 125 to 6400, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. On the focusing side, the B600 uses contrast detection autofocus with 99 focus points and subject tracking, offering a solid foundation for capturing moving subjects.

Burst shooting is available at up to 7 frames per second, which is useful when timing is critical. The rear display is a 3.0-inch TFT LCD with a 921,000-dot resolution — clear enough for composing shots and reviewing images in the field. For connectivity, the camera includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and a Micro HDMI output, making it straightforward to transfer files or connect to a TV.

Storage options cover internal memory as well as SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. Image stabilization is handled optically (OIS), supplemented by digital IS. Video recording supports frame rates of 60i, 50i, 30p, and 25p at 8-bit bit depth.

The built-in pop-up flash has a range of 6.8 meters at Auto ISO, though there is no external flash support. The camera weighs 500g and measures 122 x 82 x 99 mm.
