            Comments about Nikon CoolPix S6000 Digital Camera (Red):

            this is a very good pocket camera. It is small enough to keep on your person at all times and powerful enough to create some very satisfying results.
            It's 7x zoom is fantastic. We are pulling in pictures of birds in our gardens which was a real surprise. I have a $1500 400mm lens for my slr that I usually rely on for birding. getting some thrashers, wrens and robins with something from the breast pocket is nigh unbelievable.
            The menu is easy to read and the LCD makes reviewing photos very pleasant. We adjusted the shooting saturation and added some saturation for capturing Spring flowers and the results are very satisfying.
            We use this camera for capturing memories for our computers and Face Book. The Nikon S6000 is absolutely terrific for doing these things.
