Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix P600

The Nikon COOLPIX P600 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of producing images at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting, and a contrast detection autofocus system handles focusing duties. For composing shots, shooters have two options: a 3.0-inch vari-angle LCD with a sharp 921,000-dot resolution that can be repositioned for tricky angles, or an electronic viewfinder with a 60Hz refresh rate and 201,000-dot resolution.

Burst shooters will appreciate the 7fps maximum burst frame rate when capturing fast-moving subjects. Video recording tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 30fps, 25fps, and 24fps. Built-in Wi-Fi enables wireless image transfer and remote control without needing a cable.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The camera body measures 125 x 85 x 107mm and weighs 565g. Power comes from a rechargeable EN-EL23 lithium-ion battery rated for approximately 330 shots per charge.

The camera has no weather sealing.

Key Features — Nikon Coolpix P600

60x Optical Zoom: An extreme 60x optical zoom range (24–1440mm equivalent) lets you capture distant subjects without cropping or quality loss.

Electronic Viewfinder: A 60Hz EVF provides an alternative to the rear screen for composing shots in bright outdoor conditions.

7fps Burst Mode: Continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second helps capture fast-moving subjects with greater precision.
