Nikon Digital Camera CoolPix P60:
Very nice product. I took it on a cruize and it worked out very well. Once I learned how to change the default setting to suit my needs, it was GREAT. Speedy delivery. Nice price. Night shots were not very good but probably because I have not had a chance to experiment with the settings as yet. I had only one week to get used to it before the cruize. It came with a wrist strap but I would like to get a neck strap. It would be more convenient for me. Also the vibration reduction is good for this camera and... more info
Great pics if you learn the ropes:
The color, subtle contrast/tone changes, and pixel rolloff on this are much more natural than the canon or kodak I've owned in this price range. That's why I got this unit. Sample pics at one site were almost identical to the D60 shots. Light is the difference though...this has a lot less glass. I fixed the frequent blurr by switching to center focus (not face) and fixed the motion blurr and got lower ASA by spreading a tripod short-legged (even when not planted) for dim shots.

not what I needed:
No charger ,only batteries
No Computer camera
No card to save data
No Cover to put in
Good enough to buy again:
I purchased this camera in March and really liked how the pictures turned out and the fact that it's compact, light weight and takes very good pictures, especially high-resolution close ups. My fiance liked it a lot as well and took it to Kenya for three months. The camera mysteriously disappeared from his possession after two months. So we decided to purchase another one. We use the rechargable AA batteries, which last much much longer than the regular alkaline ones. Very nice camera for the price.
