TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
The Nikon CoolPix S610 is similar to the S600 model. This unit is featured with a 10 mega pixel sensor and 4x digital zoom. Another prominent feature is the presence of a Wi-Fi connection. Advanced features like Active child mode, sixteen program modes, AF tracking etc makes this unit special in its series.
The 28 mm wide angle lens ensures quality photographs. The advanced vibration reduction feature makes photography much easier and cool as the brand name. The colour balancing quality of the device is good enough to provide vibrant photographs. With the facility to track 12 faces, the face detection technology adds on to the features of this camera. The wide 3 inch LCD screen
makes the camera an amazing one.
The editors liked the optical stabilisation feature of this gadget as blurring at slow shutter speed is totally avoided. The time taken to get switched on is just 1.2 seconds and is also pretty fast in capturing snaps. The Wi-Fi mode permits to upload the captured images to the website - MyPictureTown Nikon and even create albums.
The editors are of the opinion that this device is better suited for beginners or children as it delivers just the basic features and that’s what expected from a device of this prize range.

TestSeek's Conclusion
This model is stylish, compact and easy to use. More than professionals, beginners will find it attractive and the price tag of approximately $163.96 delivers you some promising features. But Fujifilm's F100fd model is much cheaper and is loaded with more features.
Abstract: The Nikon Coolpix S610 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a wide angle, 4x optical zoom lens. In terms of size the Coolpix S610 is 22.5mm, so you should have little trouble fitting it into a pocket. Why Buy the Nikon Coolpix S610?One big plus point ...
Abstract: When high-quality compact cameras are available for just £100, models that cost twice as much struggle to justify their existence. The S610 certainly delivers in terms of style, and the 3in screen adds to the appearance. The lenss 4x zoom range sta...

Starts quickly but otherwise not as fast as Nikon claim, no manual modes, slow AF, menu use
The Nikon Coolpix S610’s lightening fast start-up belies an otherwise very average overall performance, and so it remains a bit of a mixed bag despite the enhancements...

Average picture quality; price; complexity disguised as simplicity
The S610 is packed with features which sound fantastically clever on paper, but once you've tried using them and the novelty has worn off, you may wonder if this was their only point. Underneath is a fairly ordinary camera which in itself does little ...
Good image and color quality, Very good AF acquisition time,
Disappointing shutter lag, No manual controls,
Looking at the spec sheets of the S610 and the camera it followed (at least in the numerical sequence), it seemed perhaps Nikon wanted to offer a 10 megapixel compact S-class camera with a 3.0 inch monitor for this market segment – to provide a platfor...
Abstract: The Nikon Coolpix S610 and its twin the S160c pack a 10 megapixels sensor, a 4X stabilized wide-angle lens and a 3 " LCD in a body which is 0.9" thick. These are among the slimmest wide-angle ultra-compacts. The one difference betw...
Good colour balance, wide-angle lens, 4x optical zoom with stabilisation, lightning quick start-up time
Extremely slow shot-to-shot time and shutter lag, chromatic aberration issues
Nikon’s CoolPix S610 would have been quite an impressive unit if it wasn’t for its extremely slow shutter speed and shot-to-shot lag. As it stands it still captures fairly good snaps and has some nifty features, but can be irritatingly slow at...

Labsence de mode manuel
Dans la fourchette de 250 à 300 euros, Nikon réussit le tour de force de proposer trois appareils photo compacts au look quasi identique: des rectangles dacier et de plastique très sobres dotés de capteurs de 10 à 14,5 Mpix, avec stabilisation optique...
