+ Tough
+ Reasonably priced
Cons: - Noisy images
- Poor in low light
- Inconsistent results
During the last years of his life Magnum pro Henri Cartier-Bresson replaced his venerable Leica rangefinder with an ultracompact Contax T. Like the Contax T, the ultracompact Coolpix S620 does a remarkably good job with some of the things its predecessors were famous for – plus it´s tough enough to go just about anywhere. The Nikon Coolpix S620 is a very good digital camera, but in the final analysis, the S620 ends up right in the middle of the 12 megapixel ultracompact pack. That´s not necessarily a bad thing – higher-rated comparable cameras are not substantially better. Like most of its contemporaries, the S620 is probably not a good choice for those who like to shoot indoors or in low/dim light, but unlike many of its contemporaries the S620 features a wide-angle lens and the ability to capture stunning macro images. The S620 will appeal to beginners, casual photographers looking for a stylish "pocket" digicam and hikers/bikers/backpackers/travelers looking for a camera that packs lots of photographic potential into a small lightweight package.
