Great Little P&S "Pocket Camera"
- Reviewd on:

By: Jerald Allen Brendle
I bought this little Nikon just as a "keep it with me" camera to catch some of those moments and fleeting images that I otherwise would never catch. I have a Canon 40D and several lenses that I use when I really get serious.
Why would I not get a Canon P&S then? Honestly, I believe Nikon has a lower noise sensor in their little pocket cameras than Canon, especially when shooting at higher ISO's. I usually post process in Adobe Photoshop and frequently make large prints, so I need as good an original image from the camera as possible. Overall, this little guy is rather impressive.

A huge drawback

This is a really nice camera - large monitor, easy to use, takes fine pictures...but it doesn't have a viewfinder. Outdoors, in bright sunlight, the monitor is too washed out to use - leaving you in a real 'point-and-click' quandry. No framing possible (much less picture review or menu setting check/change). Use it only in the dark or indoors and all will be well.

Very Fragile Screen on Coolpix S610
- Reviewd on:
2008-12-09
By: B. Rafoth
I took about 150 shots with my new Coolpix S610, and then I learned how fragile the viewing screen is. My initial experience was great:
- Fast set-up right out of the box.
- Long-lasting battery
- Easy-to-follow screen settings and icons
- Large, bright screen
But then when I was stepping off an escalator, my camera brushed against the handrail and the screen was damaged. I didn't notice a problem at first, but the damage soon appeared: wavy lines on the screen, yellow color, and an ugly black spot the size of a coin. The camera still takes pictures but the viewing screen is messed up.
So learn from my mistake, and be very careful wth the screen on this camera. Don't let anything press against it or bump it!

My Experience with Coolpix S610

This is my 2nd digital camera. It's performance is flawless. The feature I like the most is the automatic scene selection so the lens can have the best possible setting.
It's physical size is also a plus. Just put it in your pocket and you're good to go.
The lithium rechargeable battery is great.
This camera will shoot pictures, record video and its a voice recorder also.
$235 was about the right price for this precission camera from NIKON.
