Coolpix B600 Red

This is a really great camera for people who want an easy to use camera and want a far reaching zoom. It has good battery life, has awesome zoom and is a good size (not too big or heavy.) Low light photos aren't the best but during the day it's fast and pictures are sharp. Macro mode is really impressive. Video quality is nice too at 1080p. If you want a true bridge camera, this isn't for you; it's fully automatic only.

Great zoom. A little slow but works well and takes good pictures.

This is actually the second of these cameras I have gotten. It works great and have tons of features that makes the photos crisp and clear.

The camera arrived 5 days ahead of the estimate. The camera, Nikon CoolPix B600, refurb'ed, is in very good condition (it was advertised as "good" condition). The camera is an easy to use point and shoot, with an astonishing 60x optical zoom. The user manual was not provided, but is available online from Nikon. The box even included a micro SD card, 1 battery, and battery charging kit. The only complaint, the seller should have also tossed in a $5 lens cover.

Absolutely perfect. Likenewcamera. Was leary to buy used but it is like brand new!

I have used this camera several times a week since I received it 6 months ago. I have practiced using all of the functions. I mostly wanted this particular camera because of the price and zoom range that I cannot get with my phone camera. This is a nice size camera, but focusing is many times difficult. 1. I will never buy another camera that doesn't have a view finder. Forget taking pictures in sunlight without that. You are literally shooting blind with the fixed screen that shows nothing but glare. I have ordered a glare screen cover to see if this will help with that. 2. There are times it has difficulty focusing on near objects. This is frustrating when you know you could have the same shot in a second with your phone camera. I have gotten some good shots after much trial and error but cannot recommend this or any camera that doesn't have a view finder. Also a lot of zoom shots are blurry no matter how still I hold the camera. A tripod isn't something you want to carry everywhere.Added 7-17-21: I purchased a glare screen cover specifically for this camera model and it was of marginal benefit. Nikon: There is no reason a camera screen shouldn't work as well as the screen on a phone! Either leave the view finder on the camera or fix the screen.

I bought this to replace a Lumix that I take traveling. I am up there in years now and find that my finger tips are smooth (this is common) and my fine motor coordination is going so I drop things easily. Even with writst straps, I dropped my phone in the bush of New Zealand twice (fortunately on it's back so I could find it) and my Lumix several times on the pavement (didn't break!) I decided it was time for a camera I could grip. I use an underwater Nikon Coolpix so I got this because it uses the same batteries and SD cards. I've tried out the telephoto on birds and it's not bad at all. There's no comparison with a DSLR and great lenses but if you don't want to drag along heavy and expensive equipment, this camera could be for you. It's not that bulky either. THE HAND GRIP IS FANTASTIC and having a neck strap seems much safer as I progress into my dotage. For the price, I don't think you can find better. CR rated the B500 as one of their 5 top cameras under $300. It's similar but this is better and not much more.

I am an amateur, but I get what I am after with the Nikon B600. 1) The photo of the sunset (over Granite Mtn AZ) was simply shot by angling the camera which enhanced the light and removed any glare. 2)The photo of the Pronghorn was shot at 100+ yards without a tripod on auto setting. [That simple!] 3) Mingus Moon, again on auto with no tripod. 4) This Lonesome Valley, AZ wheel barrow was shot by simply washing out the color scale to zero. 5) "Jester" was the third picture I took with the camera with the instruction booklet sitting on my lap. Again, this was on auto rather than "macro". 6) This shot was without tripod but set on Macro. Note the minute thorns on the bottom bud. 7) This last shot was at 12' with slight zoom.For a photographer like me, this is all I need. For the true professional, it might be appreciated for its quick simplicity. BTW, I easily found an additional battery on Amazon, and the battery is left in the camera when being charged.Definitely 5 stars overall.
