Can you give me some advice on Nikon Coolpix S600?
I could buy this http://www.nikon.com.au/productitem.php?pid=1227-6a0929c8d3 camera, but first I want some advice. I read some reviews indicating that the camera does take decent landscape. I also read that the characteristics and quality image are not the best, and that controls are "more uncomfortable." Another said the performance review shutter lag was not the best (although not I'm pretty sure what that means.) I have also heard the battery life is very short. To what extent do you agree? Any other comment would be cool. (It would be especially useful if you actually had some experience with the Nikon Coolpix S600!) This is where I read the reviews: http://www.digitalcameratracker.com/nikon-coolpix-s600/
I used the camera before, it takes good pictures, you just need a little brightness and contrast settings, at times, but if you really want good pictures and has some more money to get a digital SLR camera, there is a price out there, can be used in automatic mode, in other words, you simply zoom or out and take a picture and the camera does the rest, or could use their creativity and handled manually, it's fun! The Canon Rebel XS and the Nikon D60 are less $ 600.00, check the bottom side by side comparison
