Great little Nikon

I own a Nikon DSLR, but wanted an additional smaller camera to carry with me in my purse for spur of the moment opportunities. I chose this particular camera based on my criteria of size, price, quality, and PRESENCE OF A VIEWFINDER (difficult to find on a camera this size). I have used it for two weeks and find it to do what I want it to. I prefer my SLR, but overall, this is a good investment. The AA batteries are inexpensive and I expect the quality of my photos will improve over time. The image stabilization is a welcome feature.

Outstanding!!

Outstanding combination of features, performance, and price. Sharp details from closeups to miles away (see nine-mile coastline view). Electronic viewfinder option is great for composing pictures in sunlight. No worries about battery running down -- just pop in two fresh AA batteries and keep shooting. Movies are great, so buy large memory chip to have plenty of room. I love it!!

Happy with Nikon, again

Nikon's P60 is a great point and shoot digital camera with a very important feature, a view finder. The P60 is the 5th Nikon I've purchased starting with the Coolpix 775 (which I gave to my 5 year old), all of them are still in service. I use these cameras primarily for work and as careful as I try to be, they are used hard. While my 5600 was out for repair I purchased an L14 which for a variety of reasons I do not like, including lack of a view finder. I knew this when I purchased but thought I'd give it a try. Decided to try the P60 and have not been disappointed.

One thing I feel purchasers must understand is what they are buying and then learn how to use it. If you want a camera that does it all, you need a different camera, don't buy a Brownie and expect a Hasselblad. I buy these cameras to take thousands of reference shots while skiing. They are small, fit in my breast pocket and can be operated with one hand. For snap shots they are great, but when I need the money shot I get out the SLR. A lot of complaints I see in reviews are a result of not learning how to use the camera and work within its limitations.

The P60 has some draw backs, it can be a bit slow especially the flash refresh. I didn't give it 5 stars mainly because of the placement of the memory card. Having to work around the batteries is a design flaw that surprises me from Nikon. You also have to push the monitor button very hard or a few times before it activates.

The optics and zoom are great, I have been pleasantly surprised with the digital end of the zoom. I just took pics of the Waterfalls installation in NYC, zooming into the digital zone from Manhattan over to Governors Island about a half a mile, with excellent results. Falling water is a challenge without zoom and camera shake, the pictures are clear and the water frozen (no tripod).

Other reviews have addressed various technical aspects and again, while important, I think may overshadow the utilitarian nature of a point and shoot.

I would recommend the Nikon P60 to anyone.
