Nikon certainly isn’t going to let up when it comes to new releases of digital cameras, and the Coolpix S600 is one of the latest offerings from its stable. This stylish new camera comes with a speedy start-up time (perfect to capture an ongoing moment even when you’re not prepared – losing out on a couple of seconds could mean the magical moment is gone, never to be repeated), advanced functions, and superior photographic performance, all crammed into a slim, stylish body. For further details on the specifications, kindly head on after the jump.

According to Bill Giordano, General Manager, Marketing, COOLPIX for Nikon Inc., “We are very excited to offer the COOLPIX S600, as we feel the camera embodies the stylish design and advanced imaging capabilities of the COOLPIX Style Series. With the COOLPIX S600, consumers will be able to take stunningly sharp photos, faster and easier than ever before.” With the inclusion of full-time Optical VR Image Stabilization technology, one will be able to capture images that already have camera shake compensated for, while ISO capabilities up to 3200 lends provides an excellent range for low-light performance. Other features include a 4x Zoom-NIKKOR lens for capturing everything from vast landscapes to intimate portraits, and a 2.7″ high resolution LCD display that makes it a snap to preview and check out snapped images.

With a start up time of just 0.7 seconds (the fastest in its class according to Nikon), the S600 has superior shutter response as well as autofocus speeds for quick and responsive photo opportunities. The S600 boasts Nikon’s very own image processing system for enhanced noise reduction, known as EXPEED. In addition, this is truly a family man’s tool as it allows one to capture fast moving kids thanks to the Active Child Mode as well as over a dozen other scene modes that come standard in the Coolpix range. The Nikon Coolpix S600 will roll out this March for $299.95. Image courtesy of LetsGoDigital.
