Not so long ago, the world famous company Nikon released its new camera, which was called the Nikon Coolpix P600. The device, in comparison with previous models, has been significantly upgraded.

After the announcement on the Internet, a real war began. Some argued that zoom is an important and almost vital thing, while others believed that all this was nothing more than a marketing ploy in order to sell as many devices as possible. So who is right? You can find out the answer to this question by reading this review on the Nikon Coolpix P600 camera.
Nikon
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "camera" is Nikon. Over the past few years, the company has almost monopolized the market for professional photographic equipment. Although such products are produced by giant companies such as Sony, Canon, etc., Nikon is simply out of competition. At one time, the guys from Nikon did a good job and made a real revolution inworld of photography. They have made huge profits and millions of loyal customers. As a result, Nikon has gone far ahead of its competitors. However, things are different now. Due to the lack of worthy opponents, the company develops rather slowly. Modern Nikon focuses on making money and regularly releasing new cameras that are minimally different from previous models.
But not so long ago, the company realized that they were going down the wrong path, that something needed to be changed, and they announced a new camera that looks quite promising. The company presented Nikon Coolpix P600 as another revolution in the world of photographic equipment. However, is it really so? Has Nikon made another breakthrough? Or is it all just another marketing ploy, thanks to which the company is going to fill its wallet with money? Find out by reading this article.
Nikon Coolpix P600 Review
The first thing that catches your eye is the design. The bright, glossy cherry-coloured camera grabs all the attention. For adherents of conservatism, there is a more classic black version of the device. The plastic of which the camera is made is quite durable and does not flex. The only disappointing thing is the build quality. There are small backlashes, and the buttons creak a little when pressed.
As for ergonomics, everything is done at the highest level. Surprisingly comfortable handle with a rubberized pad allows you to easily hold the camera, despite the impressive dimensions. Also, Nikon is one of the few companies in which they guessed to make an eyelet on the cover for the lens and put a small nylon cable into the kit. It seems to be a trifle, but nice.
A duplicate zoom lever can be seen on the side of the lens. It allows you to change the distance with your left hand. It can also be set up specifically for manual focusing. Nearby is a button that, when pressed, raises the built-in flash. Shooting modes (of which there are quite a lot) are switched by means of a mechanical drum, just like on SLR cameras. Next to the drum is a shutter release with zoom control, a programmable Fn button, and power on.
The display of the camera, which is made using a special technology, is 3 inches, resolution - 921 thousand dots. The picture is quite bright and, most importantly, has very clear detail. When changing the viewing angle, the image practically does not fade. Also in Nikon Coolpix P600 there is a rotary mechanism. It allows you to choose almost any angle for a photo shoot, and sometimes you can even stabilize the camera with it.
All pictures are recorded on the SD card. Powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1850 mAh. This means that on a single charge you can shoot about 400 frames. For a compact camera, this is a very decent result.
Zoom
Well, let's consider the most important advantage of Nikon Coolpix P600 - zoom. Guys from"Nikon" really did their best. The range of equivalent distances can vary from 24 to 1440 millimeters. The zoom factor is 60x. Thanks to this, the camera reaches very far and sees even what a person with eagle vision will not notice. Pleased with an intelligent guidance system that focuses on the right objects. Optical stabilization is also on top. Even in very sunny weather, all frames are clear. But at the same time, it is almost impossible to use the camera without a tripod at night. After all, the aperture ratio of the device is relatively low.
