It also picks up a lot of red in burnette hair. So, soccer moms.this is not the camera. BIG BIG BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for Nikon. I always enjoyed Nikon and this camera has been a huge disappointed. I takes along time to do quick action pictures compared to other cameras.
My last camera had a 10x optical, so it was a little disappointing to go down to a 4x, but that's pretty standard for your average digital point-and-shoot. The camera is nice for its compact size and large screen. The only thing that bothers me about the camera is the optical zoom. I bought this camera to upgrade from a 5 megapixel Kodak, and I was pleased as soon as I opened the box. I'm very pleased with this product. The Night Landscape function was particularly impressive; a steady hand or, even better, a tripod will take awesome pictures of low light scenes. The pictures are sharp and clear, and the camera comes with tons of different functions that are more than just fancy titles. Battery life is decent, but a spare wouldn't be a bad idea.
I especially like the fact that it takes good pictures in low light when you can't use a flash. This is a great little camera.
The image quality wasn't that great either. I know cameras aren't made to be dropped, but this one REALLY doesn't do well for klutzy people. I know they're more expensive, but not if you have to keep replacing this flimsy thing. Get an Olympus, they're more durable and take better photos. I dropped it maybe 3 times before it broke. The cover to the zoom stopped closing after a month or so, then it stopped moving in and out altogether after that final drop.
It shoots in Standard Color, Vivid Color, Sepia, B&W, Cyanotype and Pastel but it also has all the standard shooting modes we've gotten used to having. Very user friendly and all the modes that I was looking for in a camera. There's much I still have to learn but it's been lots of fun doing it with this camera. I'm a beginning photography student. I have many camera's but this Nikon Coolpix S600 (10MP)has EVERYTHING a person could want.
