Stabilized 5x Lens
|
|
Digital compacts have more and more sophisticated lenses : here on the P60, we have a 5x optical zoom equivalent to a 36-180mm. In addition, the P60 offers a Nikon VR optical stabilization that helps making beautiful shots even when light is missing. As usual, we think the zoom is not wide angle enough at its shortest focal length and, we'd prefer a shorter telephoto lens offering a real 28mm large angle at least.

ISO 2000 and EXPEED
|
|
The 8 megapixels CCD sensor is a small one as found on the bridge cameras. We'd like to see a nice Nikon compact camera embedding a larger CCD but a little and cheap sensor allows larger focal range and a more compact body, like here (and a nicer pricetag !). Thanks to the image treatment and the EXPEED processor, this sensor is ISO 2000. Besides, the P60 offers a "HIGH ISO" mode that adjusts sensitivity according to light and avoid the fuzziness movements. What can we expect of ISO 2000 on such a little sensor ?

Nikon P60's 3 key technologies
|
|
The Nikon P60 contains three intelligent technologies. Of course, we find the AF face priority but the P60 can automatically correct red eyes in portraits mode. Finally, the famous Nikon's D-Lighting treatment will save dark zones.

Electronic viewfinder
|
|
Unfortunately, the Nikon P60 doesn't offer any optical viewfinder but only an electronic one. The rear screen is 2.5" wide for 150 000 pixels. Yes, we had been expecting a 230 000 pixels screen on such a camera. Manual and semiautomatic modes (Aperture and Speed priority) are available on the P60
