Comments about Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera [Red]:

I run a Wastewater Treatment Collection System. In the past I had to write down information about any photos I took of problems, house numbers, etc. With this camera I just "write on the screen". It has made me much more productive. I took it along on our trip out West and was very happy with it as my second camera. So much so that it seems I took more than 50% of my photos with it rather than my Canon Powershot 100SX IS. It was just so easy to carry. Right now its on the dashboard of my sewer truck doing "it's work". Great camera.

It has the touch screen going for it and lots of cool little gadgets to edit your photos even before you download them.
It isn't that fast shot to shot.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera [Red]:

I bought this product 20 days before. I was going to visit my sister in London and I was looking for digital camera which will be small in size to fit in pocket easily, which will be simple to use with a wide screen, which will having no lens outside while I will be zooming in and out. I got all I wanted in no other than Nikon Coolpix S60.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera [Red]:

Kodak Easyshare cameras's pic qualities are ten times better that Nikon's Coolpix S60. Not to leave out from mentioning the photo editing software that the camera brings. Coolpix S60's editing software included in the purchase can not be compared with that of Kodak's. Kodak's is much better and it's free. I regret the purchase of the Coolpix because of such factor, other than that, the coolpix S60's touch screen trix are cool.

The screen is grainy, and the pics look like 3mp instead of 10. My iPhone takes better pictures! For the money I spent, the quality should be a lot better.
