Nikon Coolpix S60

The Nikon Coolpix S60 features a sleek, compact body housing a sizeable 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD. Thanks to the touchscreen, the Nikon S6 has only two physical buttons on the camera body - power and shutter release respectively. With 10 megapixels of resolution, a Nikkor-branded 5x optical zoom lens, ISO sensitivity up to 2000 (3200 max at five megapixel resolution), and CCD shift image stabilization, Nikon's Coolpix S60 should prove capable of handling quite a range of photographic situations.

The Coolpix S60's touchscreen user interface allows for some pretty intuitive features. Users can simply touch a subject on the Nikon S60's screen to lock focus and exposure when shooting, and the touch of a fingertip can scroll or zoom when in playback mode. There is also a Draw Function, enabling addition of memos or diagrams on images, as well as a Paint Function that includes a set of frames and stamps that can be added to photos. When using these functions, the camera retains an original of the image as a back-up. A stylus is included with the Coolpix S60 for use with the Paint and Draw functions. Users can also customize the S60's touchscreen menus, choosing from three different styles that suit their preferences - all designed for navigation with a fingertip.
