Give your First Thoughts to Nikon Coolpix S620 Camera The camera design mavens at Nikon clearly dont believe the megapixel wars are over – the S620 generates gargantuan 12 megapixel images, but its small enough to drop in a shirt pocket. The S620 has all the bells and whistles users have come to expect from todays popular point-and-shoot dig cams like VR Image Stabilization, face priority AF, smile and blink detection, motion detection, subject tracking, D-Lighting, and Scene Auto Selector. The S620 Nikon Coolpix Battery Charger also provides a high sensitivity setting of ISO 6400. In the early days of the digital imaging revolution Nikons dig cams often looked like something out of a Star Trek movie, but stylistically the S620 looks like just about every other ultra-compact dig cam out there right now. The S620 is available in a plethora of hip colors including silver, black, purple and pink. The camera is very nicely constructed, comfortable to hold and very easy to use. The menu system is user friendly and easily navigated. All controls are clearly marked and reasonably placed. Focusing speed and response times are impressively quick and shutter lag is noticeably shorter than average. Images are sharp and well exposed and colors are bright and vibrant without being garish, but noise levels and chromatic aberration are higher than average. The S620 has a couple of shortcomings and its probably not a good choice for those who like to shoot in low/dim light – this camera seems to do better in bright outdoor lighting. The S620 Nikon Camera Coolpix Charger provides about the same balance of dependably good pictures with little user input and dead simple ease of use as many of todays popular auto-exposure only digicams, but its smaller, lighter, and cheaper than many of them and sports a true wide-angle zoom. Selecting Face Priority auto focus mode enables face detection. A small yellow box outlines the faces it identifies and selects one as a focus target. In my experience, it was reliable and consistent. The Smile shooting mode uses face detection and takes this technology one step further by automatically snapping a picture when it detects a smile on the subjects face. Like face detection, the smile shooting mode was fast and reliable. I encountered some funny problems in the auto scene selector mode. Though the mechanism of switching between scene modes is streamlined, and an icon appears to indicate which scene is being used, it struggled on several occasions to identify the right scene. It would often find something in my shots that looked like a face, such as a configuration of keys on my keyboard, and flip into portrait mode. It usually selected macro mode correctly, and could switch into night mode for a dim shot Nikon Coolpix Charger, but it was wrong often enough to make this a clumsy feature. Manually choosing a scene mode is easy enough, so Id advise someone with this camera to skip the auto scene selector completely. Buy cheap new Nikon Coolpix Battery Charger from my-chargers
