Description — Nikon Coolpix S600
The Nikon COOLPIX S600 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 10MP sensor with a 1/2.3-inch sensor size, processed by Nikon's EXPEED engine. The ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 3200, making it adaptable to a range of lighting situations. Autofocus uses a Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF system, with 9 auto focus points or 99 manually selectable focus points — giving users more compositional control than many compact cameras offer.
Image stabilization is Optical (OIS), delivering steadier results without sacrificing image area. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD screen resolves at 230,000 dots for clear image review. Five in-camera color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Cyanotype — allow creative choices at capture.
Video records at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. The body measures 89 x 53 x 23mm and weighs just 149g in its metal and plastic construction, with no weather sealing. Storage is via SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity is through USB.
The built-in flash covers Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Off, On, and Slow Sync modes, and the EN-EL10 Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 180 shots per charge.
