Reviews of the camera Nikon Coolpix P600

Virtues

  • Superzoom, optical stabilization, swivel display, viewfinder, light panorama, manual settings, almost no chromatic aberrations, overall picture quality, charging via micro USB, Wi-Fi, geotagging from a GPS smartphone.

disadvantages

  • Wide-angle distortion, video quality (but it's still a camera). There are no threads for filters on the lens ..

Comment
Purchased in addition to the Nikon 3200 to replace the Canon PRO1. Long dug on the Internet, choosing a model of superzoom. I downloaded more than a gigabyte of sample photos. Candidates: Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400, Samsung WB2200F.
Sony disappeared immediately because of the quality of the photos, There either the JPG algorithm distorts the photos, turning them into something watercolor-like, or too small pixel size. I do not know, but the quality of the photo is frankly bad. The next candidate was Canon. But there is a smaller zoom, a smaller display, but there are fewer automatic lotions, since the model is not very fresh. Panasonic I liked the wide angle of 20 mm. The quality of the photos is not bad, but the chromatic aberrations are going wild. Samsung is basically the same as Panasonic, only the screen is not rotatable, when there are a lot of small details on photos, such as leaves on trees, then the photo turns into a mess.
In general, there was only one Nikon candidate (Fujifilm and Kodak did not consider superzums due to the lack of sales in my region). Made up my mind. Bought. Immediately I asked for a new firmware. Operated. The camera met all my expectations, both positive and negative. Some complain about autofocus.Yes, when the object is not a contrasting autofocus misses, but this is not a SLR, where autofocus is on a different principle, and in the 600th there is manual focus, which is implemented very well, especially help in manual focusing with white dots. Autofocus is not a drawback. Satisfied with the camera. To purchase I recommend, who needs a universal device with a telescope function. Mirror will not replace.

Virtues

  • Very interesting camera with many virtues, which have already been spoken and negotiated.

disadvantages

  • There are few disadvantages, but rather significant ones:
  • Contrast autofocus in a well-lit environment works well, but extremely slowly. Hunting for birds from the approach is very difficult. Phase autofocus as on the D5100, for example, would significantly improve the situation;
  • the lever under the left hand to change the zoom is completely superfluous, because it puts the system into action well, very slowly. Much more preferable would be a manual drive;
  • EXPEED C2 processor is slow, if EXPEED C4 would be the most;
  • white balance in the auto position does not always cope with their work even in good lighting conditions;
  • The issue of recording in the EXIF ​​of the focal length used in the frame was not successfully resolved - on the long arm, regardless of what was actually used, shows the max value. When using optical zoom, this is not reflected in the EXIF;
  • The author is used to working with uncompressed RAW-format images; they provide much more opportunities. It seems that nothing of this camera was excluded from this camera.

Comment
I tried all the superzines, this camera on a long shoulder gives the image quality better than others (though I didn’t compare it with Sonya, as I ate with the Sony Cyber-shot HV200 in full: after 3 repairs I was completely lying around without using soap and plasticine).
How you work on the long shoulder of the Nikon Coolpix P600, you can form your own opinion, for example from today's snapshot of a woodpecker

Comment
Photographer since the time of Zenit. Fan lineup Canon. Need has become a superzoom. After viewing the photo quality Sony, Olympus, Panasonic - not an option. Left Canon, Fuji, Nikon. The quality of the photo Nikon won. Regarding of course, with such a matrix, of course, this is not a photo, but some kind of self-indulgence. Now about the main thing: P600 Lens, stabilization - EXCELLENT! Autofocus is very brake - I hope the firmware will fix it. When shooting a video, there are 2 options of autofocus permanent and on the button. The button is only for a photo, and a constant when shooting a video does it all the time and it looks like a constant loss and adjustment of the focus - annoying. For example, the Canon S100 is not noticeable at all autofocus operation. And the P600 is the latest model and such flaws. My opinion - if someone needs a super-long-distance then this is it. With the shortcomings of the video can still be tolerated. Photo is quite normal (for such a matrix)

Virtues

  • The NIKKOR lens with a 60x optical zoom at March 2014 is the largest zoom.
  • Advanced Lens Shift Vibration Reduction
  • allows you to create clear images even in the telescopic position with a 60-fold zoom. Active mode corrects shooting while walking or from a moving vehicle.
  • The photos are very decent.

disadvantages

  • There is no thread on the lens for a photo filter, and the cap keeps bad.
  • Little shooting modes, adjusting the size of photos in steps of 2 megapixel
  • You can not adjust the camera sounds when shooting or turn off.
  • The price is comparable to the SLR.

Comment
Apparatus that is necessary, rather a photo gun,
beats very far, stabilizes perfectly for max 1-2 seconds.
GPS was not removed as I understood because of energy saving
New EN-EL23 Battery (Super Compact Li-Ion 1850 mAh Battery)
Photos with real color transfer.

Comment
sooooo long chose UZ. applicants were:
1. fujifilm finepix hs50exr
2. canon sx50hs
3. sony cybershot hx300
4. nikon p520-530-600
literally bought already canon sx50hs. I really liked it. Yes, and I already have canon 1100d. got used to the boot probably. because of this, and chose sx50. But! Then I went and changed it with a surcharge on Nikon. A few nuances outweighed nikon p600. I liked the p600 picture quality more. although there are more pseudo-pixels in it, but this gives the picture more detail. he brings closer. There is an auto naming in contrast to canon sx50, in which you can nafotkat up to 26 frames, which then will glue the software on your computer. bueee ... fu. fujits too heavy. but it has an interesting feature pro focus. bokeh imitation. u sony well, just sooooo watercolor picture. In general, the choice and purchase is completely satisfied. were recently in nature. There is a soap dish canon ixus 510 hs. so her zoom is not enough, that would pofotkay animals who do not admit to a distance of approx. 20m Nikon p520 was dropped because of the built-in GPS, which eats up the battery. p530 smaller zoom. I thought it would be better to add money and buy a more powerful zoom.
4 set for autofocus. really missing him from canon sx50 :(

ps: showed the child how the moon moves in real time. when approaching on the screen fotik very well it looks :)

Comment
Bought to replace the long-obsolete Konike-Minolte, pleased with the acquisition (in burgundy).
In times past, now epic, he was engaged in photography (like most people in the USSR) dragged a DSLR with a bunch of lenses.
Now lazy and decided to take one, but a universal apparatus.
Maybe Nikon will change the focus algorithm in the new firmware, I hope. Otherwise, a pleasant and versatile camera with great potential.
