I am a pushover for a new toy and I HAD to have a touchscreen camera! I tried several out in my nearby electronics store and decided that the one I wanted had to have a push button to take the picture. I also wanted the auto focus assist illuminator and the 5X optical zoom. I would have preferred to have the telephoto adjustment be manual rather than by touch. This camera had more of the features than any of the others in my price range. I love the large LCD screen but have had trouble getting it to move between pictures by sliding my finger. The flip feature is kind of useless because the rotated picture is so small. The preview of the picture on the screen is grainy but when downloaded is very sharp. In the sunlight, the screen is difficult to see, but my other digitals are also that way. I haven't tried using the stylus as yet but understand the camera will save the original and the edited picture. The menus are easy to move between and there is a question mark you can touch if you need an explanation of any of the icons. So far, I am very pleased with this camera. The finish is beautiful and it is small enough to carry with me at all times. It is easy and fun to work with, even for a novice. I did put a screen protector on the camera and suggest you do the same to protect the LCD from scratches.Read full review
This was a present for my wife, who was infatuated with the diverse features the camera advertised to have. I have to admit that even I was anxious to see what the camera could do when I heard about it's capabilities; flip-screen view, touch-screen options, in-camera photo editing & writing, etc. But marketing ploys aside, there is a legitimate concern about what the camera can really do and how it compares to other digital cameras. Here is an objective look at the Nikon Coolpix S60, and what Ashton doesn't mention in the ad's. The PRO'S: The camera is just as fun as you've heard. MASSIVE screen which you can flip to view photos in another perspective (although it serves no practical purpose since the photo becomes smaller to accomodate the rotated view). You can add diverse fun-frames for any occasion, edit the photo in the camera (including photo zoom, photo crop), and even add extras to photos like mini hearts or thought bubbles, or write on the picture itself. Also, any changes you make to a photo, the camera will save the original and edited copy. The camera is fairly user-friendly (assuming you are vaguely familiar with other cameras), and the touch-screen is enough to keep you preoccupied for hours. The camera comes with a stylus that can attach to the wrist strap in case you don't want anyone's greasy fingers getting all over your screen, and the video camera records audio too. Along with it's (now) 5x zoom, the digital zoom is also surprisingly clear, and the resolution lag is near non-existent. Along with the facial highlight feature that helps provide a well-centered photo, the camera is very comprehensive. So the camera is perfect, right? Well just before we get to happily ever after, there are some concerns that any practical digital camera consumer should keep in mind before making such a hefty purchase. The CON'S: Although the camera is flip-sreen it's notorious for taking it's time, which can range from a brief moment to a few seconds. Sensitivity is also iffy, randomly changing the view itself on occasion, or refusing to change at all. The various options are simple enough to navigate through, but it is easy to get lost in all the different screens required to perform various tasks. Although I'm not an advocate for the usual track wheel design with other digital cameras, you'll want to keep your owner's manual handy for this one. The touch screen can also get a little moody on you. More often than not it will function without reservation, but on occasion it will confuse which direction you're navigating or glitch while transitioning from photo to photo. Probably the MOST CONCERNING down-side to the camera is the grain-ee view you get on the camera screen. Especially considering its retail price, one would anticipate a crystal clear shot of whatever your looking at, but the screen gives an unfortunate grain-like haze over everything you view pre-photo. Concluding opinion: If you're looking for a fun camera with a few options to dazzle your friends, then this is the camera for you. It's fun & it's entertaining, but in the realm of a cool toy you may be better off getting yourself an ipod touch or iphone. If you are one that is serious about performance from your digital camera, you may disappointed, but this is a reasonable compromise between practical application and flashy options. But be warned, the hefty price is mostly for the cool features.Read full review
I've played with and used a lot of different cameras. The biggest problem in getting up and running with any camera is being able to understand the buttons and menus to get what you want when you need it. This camera with its touch screen makes that all a breeze. The screen is 3.5 inch and that gives plenty of room for menus and still a big view of the photo or preview at hand. Many great features and the picture quality is striking. The flip photo feature is fun for showing off your pictures. Its Iphone like in its function. This is really a fun camera for people who want a fun photo experience with out the hassle of complicated menus and buttons.
I bought the camera for the 10 pixels, 3.5 screen with complete touch management, size and decent battery life. The pictures are always excellent and easy to manage. Generally the instruction symbols in the camera fullfill most all functions. The instruction booklet is only average and takes time to remember special functions. For instance the format instructions only say you will receive a menu anytime a disc reuires formating. No option to do it when you desire. Still a bargain for the price.
Plenty of mega-pixels, compact size, bright design, SD-card usage, pocket-friendly lens - That's what I like. Enormous display and sensitive areas (which do not always recognize your touch) is not a feature to aim to. Even a small dust on lens make a big stain on the shooting picture. Too light to make a sharp photo even in mid-lighted environment. Only sunny outdoors or tripod.
