Touchy, touchy, touchy! No, we're not talking about you and your personality. We are talking about the Nikon Coolpix S60. This sleek compact digital camera comes with all kinds of plusses, including touch screen controls.

This truly is a cool camera! It is so loaded with features that you will not run out of fun any time soon. Everything on the camera is touch-controlled, excluding the power and shutter buttons. You will find yourself oohing and ahhing over this little guy. When you think of touch screen and you imagine the iPhone controls, this touch screen works a little differently, however similar, to that. When using the touch controls, you will find that tapping the screen to select works better than simply dragging your finger from one side to the other. The dragging of the finger does work, however, when you are reviewing the images that you have taken within your camera. Simply drag your finger to the right or left to advance on in your photo gallery.

There are automatic shooting modes that you can choose from on the Coolpix S60. A few of those include automatic, scene, and video. There is a quick switch between each of these, giving you the ability to take photographs quickly. You can also move just as quickly between flash mode, turning on the timer Smile Shutter and switching to macro mode. The zoom touch control will take a little getting used to in order to master its sensitivity, but once you have that down, you'll wonder why it ever took a learning curve to get it. The touch screen even works in low lighting. When you are in portrait and night portrait modes, you can still zoom and focus as necessary for that perfect portrait.

The Coolpix S60 comes with a 3.5-inch LCD screen and 10-megapixel image quality. The ISO can be cranked up to 3200 that allows you to be able to shoot in low or bright light and still have clear, crisp pictures. Along with the one touch zoom control mentioned previously, this camera also comes with a 5x zoom Nikkor lens making it capable to shoot 5.9-29.5mm with a twelve-element group. Connect to your electronic equipment with an HDMI interface/cable. Movement will not show in your subject matter when the vibration reduction control adjusts and corrects the images for you.

Other features of the S60 are numerous, so we will be able to only cover a few in this article. When you have your subjects within your LCD's viewer, simply touch the subject to lock in the autofocus and auto exposure features. Did you need to shoot a picture on its side, but you want it the correct side up for your final product? Simply use the automatic image rotation to do so. The Smile Timer previously mentioned, when set, will not release the shutter until the subjects are smiling. Paint and draw functions will allow you to create colorful borders, or handwrite notes on your images. Face priority will focus on the faces and corrects the lighting surrounding them; in camera red eye fix will rid the image of red eye and d-lighting will allow your pictures to be well adjusted.

This camera will be so easy for you to use and create masterpieces; you just are not going to believe your eyes! The Nikon Coolpix S60 is a perfect purchase to become a great photographer while using a beginning camera.
