I had purchased this camera in this week only .so it is not right time to give total review, but what I can say according to my experience that it really star very fast.and some time in fraction of sec you need to just power on the camera and take a snap, than it will help .Camera detail:There are four primary shooting modes:
•Auto: Camera nominally handles all camera settings, but user may set functions such as flash, macro mode, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO sensitivity, color options and AF area to suit personal preferences
•High ISO: Camera automatically adjusts ISO up to 2000 when shooting in low light to help reduce blurring and maintain the ambience of the shot; user may set flash, macro, exposure compensation, white balance, color options and AF area
•Scene: Camera settings are automatically optimized for any of the 14 subject types selected; the user may have some limited adjustments available depending on the particular scene.
•Movie: Records movies at either 640x480 or 320x240 at 30 fps
•With all the emphasis in Nikon’s S600 press release about fast performance, and a good shutter lag response from its low cost sibling, the S210, I was prepared to be impressed by the S600. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting. For some reason, the S600 didn’t get the excellent shutter lag performance of the cheaper S210(and the now-discontinued S500 remains my personal favorite compact digital for shutter lag), so it’s not like Nikon doesn’t have the means to provide a good shutter response in this class of camera. Frankly, the shutter lag takes the luster off an otherwise fairly capable camera, especially when you realize Nikon can(and has) done better.
•There’s still a lot to like with the S600 – good color and image quality, optical VR, good ISO performance, a novice-friendly layout, and a wider than usual 28mm lens to capture sweeping vistas or big subjects up close. It would just be more likeable with a dose of S500 genes in the bloodstream, or at least an S210 shutter lag transfusion.
Pros:•28mm wide angle lens
•Good color fidelity and image quality
•Good ISO performance
•Optical VR
Cons:
•Disappointing shutter lag
•Quick start up time nullified by wait for shutter to become active•Nikon COOLPIX S600 Specifications: Sensor10.0 megapixel, 1/2.33" CCDLens/Zoom4x(28-112mm) zoom, f/2.7-5.8LCD/Viewfinder2.7", 230K-dot TFT LCDSensitivityISO 100-3200Shutter SpeedNot SpecifiedShooting ModesAuto, High ISO, Scene, MovieScene PresetsPortrait, Night Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Party, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Night Landscape, Museum, Fireworks ShowWhite Balance SettingsFluorescent, Incandescent, Flash, White Balance Preset, Auto, Daylight, CloudyMetering ModesNot SpecifiedFocus ModesFace-Priority AF, Auto AF Drive ModesNormal, BurstFlash ModesSlow sync, Red-eye reduction, Red-eye reduction with slow sync, Flash cancel/ flash offSelf Timer Settings10 seconds, 2 seconds, Off Memory FormatsSD, SDHCInternal Memory45 MBFile FormatsJPEG, AVIMax.
