Nikon’s new Coolpix S620 compact digital camera puts the emphasis on speed and image quality. Nikon is claiming a super fast 0.7-second start-up time and minimal shutter-lag. Slow response time has long been one of the biggest complaints from consumers about their digital cameras. But camera companies have been more interested in selling us more resolution instead of making compact cameras fast enough to actually capture photos of the kids and pets in action. It sounds like Nikon is starting to pay attention.

The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is Nikon’s flagship compact camera, improving on its predecessor the P5100 with 13.5 megapixels of resolution and a wider 28mm - 112mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens. The P6000 also brings back RAW format, and adds things like GPS and online connectivity. I reviewed the P5100 in 2008 and this review of the P6000 is concerned primarily with changed specifications and performance. The P5100 just needed a couple tweaks to be a strong photographic tool. Does the P6000 clear those hurdles? Well, as one might expect from a 13.5-megapixel camera, the P6000 produces excellent images at low ISO and acceptable quality at higher ISO settings. But my overall feeling for the Coolpix P6000 is one of indifference rather than the enthusiasm I felt for the P5100.
