The Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera combines 10.0 effective megapixel resolution, a 5x zoom lens with Optical VR Image Stabilization, Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processor and an amazing 3.5-inch Touch Panel LCD Display in a sleek and sexy camera body.
The Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens of the Coolpix S60 provides an equivalent focal length of 33-165mm (in 35mm terms), and combined with Nikon's Optical VR Image Stabilization system, you'll get sharp pictures throughout the zoom range. In addition, Nikon's original folded optics ensures the camera remains slim and stylish while not losing out on image quality. The 1/2.3" 10.0 megapixel CCD captures the finest image details and Nikon's EXPEED image processor ensures that the data obtained from the image sensor is processed at high speed and with the greatest precision for high-quality pictures with stunning color and sharpness.
The customizable interface of the 3.5" Touch Panel LCD makes composing and sharing pictures easy. Then use the camera's HDMI capability to take pictures in 16:9 format and display them in an HD Pictmotion slide show, with music, on your HD television

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera (Burgundy):
My wife uses it to take quick shots of wildlife, outdoor scenes, friends, and family. She also has the Nikon F60 SLR and Coolpix6000. The S60 takes sharp and clear photos. She like that she can carry the camera in her pocket for quick and simple point and shoot shots for quick pictures. This camera is as simple as you can get to operate and to review your shots quickly. She loves the camera and has no negative remarks about it. [...] Great camera!!!!!!!!
