Nikon Coolpix P60 Digital Camera (Black)
The Nikon Coolpix P60 Digital Camera is a blend of orthodox camera styling with an advanced feature set and operating ease. Built on a custom application of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept, the Coolpix P60 is built to provide optimum performance and maximum image quality. It also features a 5x Zoom-Nikkor lens that can zoom in tight for photo subjects ranging from landscapes to close-up portraits.
The camera also has Nikon's Optical VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization system which compensates for camera shake or movement by unsteady subjects to achieve sharper results. It has extended light sensitivity up to ISO 2000 to further help prevent blurred shots when shooting in lower light, or when capturing fast-moving subjects.
From its functional body design, with stable grip and rubber thumb rest, to the intuitive operation of its Mode dial, complete with a setting for Manual shooting mode, the Coolpix P60 is extremely versatile. Its electronic viewfinder enables accurate composition, even in bright sunlight, and the bright 2.7-inch LCD monitor is also easy to view in most lighting conditions. Power is supplied by readily available AA-size batteries, which means that the Coolpix P60 can be used in virtually any location without worrying about recharging or running out of power.
- 8.1 Megapixel Resolution
- With 8.1 million pixels of image information, the Nikon Coolpix P60 can produce stunning, photo quality prints up to 16 x 20".
- 5x Optical Zoom Nikkor Glass Lens
- The Zoom Nikkor Lens uses quality optics and incorporates exclusive ED lens elements to provide exceptional pictures throughout the versatile 5x (36 - 180mm equivalent) zoom range. The lens deliver crisp, clear images, and the optical zoom capability means you can get real close images of your subject.
- Optical VR Image Stabilization
- Nikon's optical VR image stabilization system compensates for camera shake to produce clearer, sharper results in lower light or unsteady conditions. Active full time, the VR's stabilizing effects also aid in smooth, easy framing and shooting.
- Bright 2.7" LCD and Electronic Viewfinder
- The Coolpix P60 is equipped with a large 2.7" High Resolution LCD that is great for viewing images anywhere, anytime; and the anti-reflective coating makes it easier for everyone to see and enjoy your images. Plus the camera incorporates an Electronic Viewfinder for taking pictures in any type of lighting conditions.
- Versatile Shooting Modes
- The Nikon Coolpix P60 provides Programmed Auto [P] and Manual [M] exposure modes to provide for greater personal control over camera operation. These modes are easily accessible via the Mode dial, and there is also a selection of 15 scene-optimized modes and five different movie modes that can be accessed via the camera menus.
- High ISO Capability
- Covering an impressive sensitivity range from ISO 80 all the way up to ISO 2000, the Coolpix P60 makes it easier to take great-looking pictures in lower lighting conditions, or to capture fast moving subjects with outstanding clarity. The Coolpix P60 accurately measures available light to automatically select the optimal sensitivity setting for the shot, while its image-processing engine with enhanced noise reduction preserves high image quality when shooting at high ISO settings.
- Built-in and Expandable Memory
- The camera includes 12MB of built-in memory, and the memory capacity can be expanded dramatically with Secure digital (SD) or Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory cards.
- Nikon In-Camera Innovations
-
The Coolpix P60 features a selection of three innovative functions that provide the ability to actually improve the quality of images within the camera - these include Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and D-Lighting.
- In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
This Feature automatically fixes most instances of red-eye - right in the camera. Red-eye is commonly caused by the use of a built-in flash on a compact camera. - Improved Face-Priority AF
The Nikon Face-Priority AF system automatically detects and achieves sharp focus on people's faces wherever they are in the frame for crisp, sharp portraits - and now it focuses on faces faster than ever. The feature can find and focus on up to 5 faces to ensure superb group portraits. - Nikon D-Lighting
The Nikon D-Lighting feature can rescue underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight by automatically creating a copy of the image, then brightening the dark areas in the picture, while the well-exposed areas are left completely untouched.
- In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
- PictBridge Compatibility
- Simply connect the Coolpix P60 to a PictBridge compatible printer with the included USB cable, engage the direct print feature, and print directly - without the need for a computer The direct print feature allows you to select all images or just the images you like best, and even make multiple copies to share with family and friends.
- Uses Convenient AA Batteries
- The Coolpix P60 uses AA-size batteries; ensuring that users can shoot with confidence, free of any worries about recharging batteries or running out of power, since users can simply purchase fresh batteries at any convenient location.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P60 Digital Camera (Black):
I purchased two of these for my daughters for Christmas. Both picked them up right out of the box, put in batteries and a memory card then started taking pictures.
Features seem to be very easy to use. I like the face technology recognition with this camera.
My youngest also has a DSLR and wanted something she could carry in her purse. Working very well for her.
Batteries seem to be holding up, using rechargables.
Great camera for the money

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P60 Digital Camera (Black):
I purchased the camera right before going on vacation since my 35 mm was failing after 30 years. My 9 year old daughter taught me how to do the basics without even reading the manual. Our vacation pictures came out great. It will me some time to learn more about the features since this is my first digital camera. The batteries that it came with did not last long.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P60 Digital Camera (Black):
I bought this camera to take along on a trip to Rome and Malta because I didn't want to haul my D70 and extra lenses. All through the trip I was able to slip this little beauty in my pocket and take amazingly sharp images. I actually shot over 4000 pictures on a 2-week trip!
Since tripods are banned in the Vatican, the VR feature came in awfully handy. Other good features were the "Night Portrait" and "Museum" settings. I probably would have liked to had the extra "reach" of the lens on the P80, but I didn't miss it much, nor did I miss the D70 except on a few occasions. It would be nice if Nikon had a P&S that shot RAW, but it's not essential.
All in all, an excellent value for the money!

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P60 Digital Camera (Black):
I got my mom a Nikon Coolpix P60 for Mother's Day and had a chance to use it for a couple days before. It was comfortable in your hand with the batteries providing a nice gripper and in your pocket. At 8.1MP, a bright 2.5" screen, a 5x glass lens with vibration reduction, electronic viewfinder, high ISO, and in-camera image-editing tools, she got twice the camera at half the price of her Coolpix 4100 from 3 years ago. If you've used Nikon Coolpix camera's the controls and menus will be familiar.
