Description — Nikon Coolpix S60
The Nikon COOLPIX S60 centers its design on a 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution, offering an unusually large display for a compact point-and-shoot. The camera's 10MP sensor measures 1/2.3 inches and is processed by Nikon's EXPEED engine. Sensitivity runs from ISO 64 to ISO 3200, while image stabilization is handled by a sensor-shift IBIS system backed up by digital IS.
Autofocus uses contrast detection with face detection AF, locking onto a center point. The built-in flash covers five modes: Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Off, On, and Slow Sync. For creative shooting, five color profiles are available: Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Cyanotype.
Video recording reaches up to 30fps. The body is built from plastic composite, weighs 145g, and measures 97 x 61 x 23 mm — compact enough for a jacket pocket. Storage uses SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity is via USB.
The EN-EL10 Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 140 shots per charge under CIPA testing conditions.
