Nice (2009-06-16)
I received a Nikon camera for my birthday and i was bought on a wimm just so I can have something to open. I had a Sony Cybershot pretty old and outdated so a new cam was in order.
I researched a lot of cameras and I was going to get a Nikon so I got the S610. should had waited now they offer a touch screen. So this is what I have, it's a very nice camera basically turn it on and shoot only if you have it set to AUTO then it's all good. I paid about $210 for a package camera, case and 4gb memory card.
This is a very simple camera to use it takes outstanding pictures especially with the wide lens. Once you learn the other setting you can take some very nice pictures in all different types of light, indoors and outdoors it does the job. It even does movies depending on how much memory you have available.
The only thing I did not like was the battery life, I tried to by an extra one but they were not yet available. I did buy one in the early part of June when I was in Las Vegas, and I also picked up an 8gb SDHC memory card too.
Slow start up and recovery (2009-05-29)
Received this camera as a gift.
The reviews I read rave about the start up speed of this camera, but I find it to be terrible. The lcd screen turns on immediately after pushing the power button and the lense shoots out very quickly, but the camera does not respond to any button pushes for a quite a while - shutter release, menu, mode, any button. Eventually the icons show up on the lcd and only then does the camera respond. So you can't even change settings while waiting for the camera to get ready to take a picture.
Also, the recovery time after taking a picture is unacceptable. The lcd screen goes blank when you push the shutter release, then turns back on and displays the new picture. Then you wait just as you did at start up for the camera/lcd to be 'ready' before you can get a response to any of the buttons.
I do not recall these delays being the case on my 2 yr old (and lost) PowerShot. In fact, I remember being able to 'interrupt' whatever the camera was doing with whatever button I selected. This does not seem to be the case with this Nikon.
Picture quality is good so far. Have not put it through its paces just yet though. Did get some red-eye from some outdoor wedding reception shots that the camera did not resolve on its own. The other features, auto modes and settings, etc. I have not yet tried out.
Proprietary USB is not cool at all. Now I actually have to worry about having the proper cord around. And the big, fat connector that plugs into the camera makes it worse.
OK, but not great, so far (2009-04-24)
Being a Nikon DSLR user and a Canon point-and-shoot user, I thought I would give the Nikon CoolPix 610 a try. I think I'll go back to Canon.
The shutterspeed seems slow and there is something "jerky" about it. There are other things I don't like, like the overall feel of the thing. One thing that REALLY annoys me is the PROPRIETARY USB HUB. Had I known this I would not have purchased the camera, but I never thought to ask further when I saw the USB symbol on the box and the camera. That is not right.
Wifi with restriciones (2009-04-19)
This camera take exelent pictures, but I am not that happy with the wifi because you only can used with the nikon website.
I wish it send the pics direct to my labtop.
S550 a better camera (2009-04-12)
I bought the Nikon Coolpix S610 thinking it would be better than the S550 that broke. I thought it was going to be a better version of the camera that I loved! Although the larger screen and the round dial is nice, the simplicity of the S550 was much better.
S610 is not good at taking night pictures as the S550. Devasted that the newer model is not an upgrade to the S550. A slight disappointment.
