The Nikon Coolpix S600 has 10MP resolution, a 4x wide-angle optical Zoom-Nikkor lens (28-112mm equiv.) with optical VR Image Stabilization and a large 2.7 in. high-resolution (230K pixels) LCD monitor with wide viewing angle.

The Coolpix S600 is slim and has clean lines, a solid feel and an all-metal body that easily slips into a pocket. A rotary multi-selector provides quick and intuitive operation. Startup is fast at 0.7 seconds with high-speed auto-focus performance.

Optical VR Image Stabilization automatically detects and compensates for small camera movements that would otherwise cause images to blur. The result is sharper pictures when shooting in low light. VR also allows you to take advantage of slower shutter speeds (similar to shooting at shutter speeds two to three stops faster).

Nikon's innovative D-Lighting function compensates for underexposed images or insufficient flash by automatically adding light and detail to selected shots where needed -- without affecting properly exposed areas. Nikon's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically fixes most typical occurrences of red-eye. Face-Priority AF automatically finds and focuses on faces to ensure clear, crisp focus on people's faces. A new Active Child scene mode is designed to let you take pictures of your children or pets, even when they are rushing around.

The Nikon Coolpix S600 should appeal to point-and-shoot amateur photographers who desire a stylish and slim carry-anywhere digital camera with image stabilization.
