[+] 4.0 not very user friendly
The touch screen is cool and the color of the body itself is aesthetically pleasing, but the menu only shows a picture icon instead of a feature label, so unless you memorize them all it'll be a guessing game. I don't know a lot about photography, so I don't know if these icons are familiar amongst the photography world... maybe they are and it's no problem for people who are proficient with digital cameras. Also, the digital screen is very grainy, but the photos were better once they were uploaded. I didn't think it was very user-friendly and ended up selling it to a co-worker who could enjoy it.

[+] 2.0 Poor Images
The images are poor and don't print well. I get red eye almost everytime I take a picture. It might be OK for very casual use, but don't use on important events.

[+] 10.0 Nikon Coolpix S60
I absolutely love this camera. Sometimes takes a while to take picture and miss the moment. Also pictures look better when taken in the day it has awesome detail but at night it is not so good because you look really white and captures the things flying around you like dust you can't see with your eyes but the camera gets. Overall I love the camera. It has a sexy look because it is thin and black.

[+] 2.0 Scam
This camera takes aweful pictures. The touch screen in under developed and not that advanced! Do not fall for the advertisements on the television this camera sucks!! The only good thing about it is that it fits into any pocket.

[+] 8.0 Cool Coolpix
Good lesson in the new touch technology. This camera is FUN! And it fits in your pocket. Still a point and shoot, but nice clear shots.

[+] 6.0 Pixels
I recieved my Nikon Coolpix S60 as it was advertised. Don't have a problem with it yet and hope i won't in the future. The only thing I have a problem with is its pixels. its clear but very pixelated. i would have preferred the s230, but it was a gift for someone

[+] 10.0 COOLPIX S60 DYNAMITE IN A SMALL PACKAGE!
The S60 is a smooth operator. The 3 1/2" touch screen works extremely well. Providing quick movement between multiple pictures displays. Its simple to change image or shooting modes and functions. This camera automatically adjust LCD for horizontal or verticle viewing and corrects pix for upright position. Now everyone can get the picture they usually miss. I recommend the S60 to anyone who wants fast sharp clear pictures anytime everytime.

[+] 6.0 Cool looks, lukewarm performance
I bought this camara for three reasons: the touch screen technology, the sleek design, and it wasn't as pricey is the comparative Sony. I love the sleek design of the Nikon and in my opinion, its one of the better looking slim camaras on the market. But the people at Nikon could have paid a little more attention to detail like the folks at Sony. For example, the power button is exposed, as opposed to the Sony's which has a gaurd so that you don't accidently turn it on/off. This isn't such a big deal, but when you go to places like a theme park, you don't want to worry about your camara accidently turning on inside the case, and running out of batteries (which happened a couple of times for ). It's someting you have to watch out for constantly, which is a bit annoying. Plus, instead of one single flash, the Nikon's is a series of flashes that always manage to blind people.

As for the touch screen, its pretty cool, but like the on/off switch, you have to be really careful not to hit the wrong buttons, and its not like I have big oafy finers either.

Now, for the most important aspect of any camara. Picture quality. When I first used it, the picture quality was so-so compared to my friends' Sonys and Canons. But after twinkling around with it (and actually reading the manual) I found out there were many different options to make the picture quality improve. After I discovered those options, the picture quality was just as good as any of the aforementioned brands. However, the Nikon seems to be overly complicated for no reason. For example, why not automatically take out red-eyes, or automatically adjust to the environment's lighting? You actually have to manually adjust those things yourself.

For everday camara use, I think the Nikon is just a tad bit too complicated and comes with too many little annoyances, like the on/off button. The Sony may be pricier, and the Canon may not be as cool looking, but they both seem to be much more user friendly.

[+] 10.0 nikon camera
I love this camera, it has so many great features to make your pictures better. The blink warning and the vibration reduction are awesome.

[+] 8.0 Great Camera
We gave this to our son and daughter-in-law for Christmas, and they love it. It's compact, easy to use, and takes great pictures.

[+] 10.0 nikon s60 write on screen
The write on screen is perfect for enhancing Native American rock art pictures on site. Often very faded rock art turns out to be a picture of a rock unless you are on site and can see the faint outlines which you can then mark on the picture. Bet they didn't think of this use!
NOw how about a bigger lcd?

[+] 8.0 Great!!
I love this camera! It got here fast and I was so excited. it takes great pics and you can do so much more with them! I love how big the screen is too!

[+] 8.0 Great camera
I've had this camera about a month now and really like it. The picture quality is great, it's easy to use and fun as well. I especially like the 'scene' option and use the sports selection when I want to get an action shot, finally I can take pictures of my dogs doing more than sleeping! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the touch option to move between pictures is a bit slow, not a real problem because clicking on the arrow works just fine.

[+] 10.0 Great stylish camera for your night outs!!!
Bought this camera for almost a month and i absolutely loves it! A lot of people are complimenting on the camera especailly saying how cool and stylish it looks. It also takes great pictures. I'm not sure what other reviewers are reviewing but this is a decent camera with a good VR and Zoom.

[+] 10.0 lovin it!
I have loved loved loved my new camera. The quality of the pictures is awesome for a small digital camera. I love the fact that when you move the camera from side to side the picture changes positions like an iPod. The settings work fantastic as well and I love the touch screen. It also takes pictures close up very well. The resolution is good where as with other cameras I've had a problem of close ups. I recommend this camera for everyone-maybe not if you have really big or clumsy fingers because you might not like the touch screen since the icons are kind of small.
