Blurry photos

I got this camera 6 months ago and have had mixed results with it. Electronic VR stabilization or not, the pictures I take turn out blurry about half the time I take them. That's pretty annoying when you're trying to capture the moment. I usually have to stand very, very still, prop the camera on a solid surface, or use the flash. My other complaint is that the photos tend to turn out really washed out if I take outdoor photos. Even on "vivid" mode the colors in the photos are dull. I usually have to lower the exposure compensation manually before I take a photo.

One good thing, I have to say, is the "night landscape" mode works really well if you use a tripod or set the camera up on a flat surface and use the timer. I've taken some amazing night scenes with it.

Small and cute. Great starter camera.

I bought this camera 5 days ago (Nov. 3rd). I bought this particular camera becuase I've heard so many great things about Nikon, and have been thinking of purchasing a Nikon DSLR. I really wanted a DSLR, but cannot afford it at this time, and needed to upgrade my ancient digital Olympus for family pics. I also thought it would be a good idea to purchase a cheaper digital camera to get used to the settings before deciding for sure which DSLR I would eventually purchase. After looking at several other cameras in the store that were not in stock, I went ahead and purchased the S210 because of the 8MP and the 2000ISO that it boasts. I should have waited.

I didn't like it shortly after taking it out of the box. In order for me to figure out the camera functions I had to read the very detailed, technically written manual. I am an extremely intelligent person, and very computer/technologically literate. I got very frustrated while playing with it the first night. I put it on HighISO and could not figure out how to take it off. When you go to that section of the manual, it just tells you what its for. It took me until the next day to figure out that it was an independant setting like the scene mode and the camera mode. You cannot just pick up the camera and start using it, you have to read the manual.

I took 25 pictures the next day that I actually kept, I probably took at least twice that. I wasn't particularly happy with any of them, every single one turned out blurry after I downloaded them onto my laptop. So, that night I looked up reviews on this camera (I should've done that before I bought the camera, but I got excited). Most of the reviews echoed what I had already experienced, however, one review on Amazon said that you needed to play with it. So, I broke down and read the manual and have played with the camera for several days. I have probably taken a couple of hundred pictures with it by now. It seems to do pretty well in good light. The functions in the camera mode are fun to play with and I was able to get some interesting effects with the different color/lighting/ISO functions. However, the camera seems to have problems with the focus, especially if you are using it in indoor lighting (particularly at night when all the house lights are on). BTW, I discovered that if you have the high energy light bulbs (you know, the spiral ones) you have to set the light on flourescent, not incandescent, it makes a huge difference in the coloring of your pictures. I have not been able to figure out what settings will fix the focus, I have used every ISO, light, and color setting, and I am getting sick of the maddening red box. If you go ahead and take the picture it is not noticeable, however, if you zoom into the pictures either on the camera, or on the computer, there is some slight blurring, especially farther out in the corners. Even if you do manage to get it in focus, the only thing in focus is what the camera focused on. Again, not noticeable until you zoom in.

If you are looking for a camera that just takes pictures, and don't plan on editing them or blowing them up, this camera is great. It takes good standard pictures. However, don't bother with the 1600 or 2000 ISO, the room has to be very dark (we're talking single light source here) to get a decent picture without any noise (believe me, I tried it in several lighting scenarios). Actually, come to think of it, the High ISO (which automatically bumps the ISO up to 1600) is great for birthday parties where the only light is the candles on the birthday cake. Might take great pics of the Chrismas tree, too. I love the fact that it is small and fits into your pocket, and the color is pretty (mine was the plum color). It seems to have decent timing, though I really have no comparison, since my old camera took 5 seconds or more to take a picture.

All in all, it is a decent camera, but I wish I had done more research before purchasing it. It is a great camera, just not for what I want to use it for. The settings are fun to play with, once you figure them out. I would highly recommend it for someone who just plans on printing out 4X6 or 8X10 pics without a whole lot of editing, or a young person who is interested in photography. Its a great starter camera. BTW, battery life is great. I charged it fully the first night and didn't have to charge it again till two days later (Nov 5th), and I am still going off that charge.

I have not yet decided whether I will return the camera.

It's a Great Camera

What more can I say. It was a birthday present for my thirteenth birthday, hence I am over 13.
I love my camera. It is beautiful, functional, and colorful, just like Kate Moss.

This camera does a great job if you let it. Meaning just put it in automatic and select the stabalization to auto and let it go. The first pictures we took were using different settings and they did not turn out too good.
Once we put everything in auto it worked out great! We even blew up a shot on the beach to an 8 by 10 and the detail was perfect!

Wide Angle

Hello, I'm a student from Germany and I'm totally satisfied with this product.
What seperates this camera from similar ones is the lower focal length of 28mm which allows me to take good pictures in close surroundings.
It absolutely makes sense to spend a little more money for this feature!
AWESOME!!!

Great little camera, excellent photos

I have been using this camera for over 6 months now, and it takes fantastic photos. The automatic options for various "Scenes" (Landscape, Museum, etc.) do a great job of automatically changing the settings depending on your situation. Once you master those options, you'll end up with some awesome shots. My friends can't believe that some of the pics I've shared with them were taken with a point and shoot digital cam.

This camera is also super-sensitive in low-light situations, which is handy for taking night shots, candlelit scenes, etc. The colors are nicely saturated without being overblown, and the white balance is pretty good right out of the box.

It's small, light and compact, too, so it doesn't take up much room and weighs almost nothing. Still, it feels quite sturdy and the components feel like they are of good quality.

nikon s60 write on screen

The write on screen is perfect for enhancing Native American rock art pictures on site. Often very faded rock art turns out to be a picture of a rock unless you are on site and can see the faint outlines which you can then mark on the picture. Bet they didn't think of this use!
NOw how about a bigger lcd?

Great camera

I've had this camera about a month now and really like it. The picture quality is great, it's easy to use and fun as well. I especially like the 'scene' option and use the sports selection when I want to get an action shot, finally I can take pictures of my dogs doing more than sleeping! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the touch option to move between pictures is a bit slow, not a real problem because clicking on the arrow works just fine.

lovin it!

I have loved loved loved my new camera. The quality of the pictures is awesome for a small digital camera. I love the fact that when you move the camera from side to side the picture changes positions like an iPod. The settings work fantastic as well and I love the touch screen. It also takes pictures close up very well. The resolution is good where as with other cameras I've had a problem of close ups. I recommend this camera for everyone-maybe not if you have really big or clumsy fingers because you might not like the touch screen since the icons are kind of small.

Nikon Coolpix P60 is a simple to use point-&-shoot digital-camera that offers some creative options to extend your talents. It has optical image stabilization to reduce blur from normal hand movement. AA batteries power the P60 and that's nifty when you're touring around the world.

Good enough to buy again

I purchased this camera in March and really liked how the pictures turned out and the fact that it's compact, light weight and takes very good pictures, especially high-resolution close ups. My fiance liked it a lot as well and took it to Kenya for three months. The camera mysteriously disappeared from his possession after two months. So we decided to purchase another one. We use the rechargable AA batteries, which last much much longer than the regular alkaline ones. Very nice camera for the price.

Nikon Digital Camera CoolPix P60

Very nice product. I took it on a cruize and it worked out very well. Once I learned how to change the default setting to suit my needs, it was GREAT. Speedy delivery. Nice price. Night shots were not very good but probably because I have not had a chance to experiment with the settings as yet. I had only one week to get used to it before the cruize. It came with a wrist strap but I would like to get a neck strap. It would be more convenient for me. Also the vibration reduction is good for this camera and for the price it suits me just fine. The one step up model is supposed to be better at this but costs $100 more so I think I will stick with this model.

Great pics if you learn the ropes

The color, subtle contrast/tone changes, and pixel rolloff on this are much more natural than the canon or kodak I've owned in this price range. That's why I got this unit. Sample pics at one site were almost identical to the D60 shots. Light is the difference though...this has a lot less glass. I fixed the frequent blurr by switching to center focus (not face) and fixed the motion blurr and got lower ASA by spreading a tripod short-legged (even when not planted) for dim shots. Once I worked with "P" mode for focus, ASA, exposure, etc. I got some outstanding shots. To move beyond point-shoot at a lower cost takes work, but this gives me that real natural color and contrast subtlety. Only Nikon and Fuji seem to do that. Fuji is still a bit sluggish. Nice shirt cam, super if you fiddle in P mode and steady things. I always MUST have electronic viewfinder...that's a big seller in the sun!
