A New Camera to Purchase

There are so many cameras out there to pick from and I’ve purchased a decent amount of them. I think I have 7 cameras so far. But now, I may have found my 8th.

I’m always too scared to bring any of my “nicer” cameras anywhere I may consume tasty adult beverages, so its great to have something small that I can easily tote around. Years ago, I bought a small Casio point-and-shoot to throw into my pocket so I can easily snap drunken photos and not worry about it TOO much. This was back when 3MP was sick. That camera has seen its fair share of use and may need to take a step down the photo food chain.

So, I’ve kinda been keeping my eye out for a new camera. Its definitely not something I need; its definitely something I want. I don’t care too much about brand names, but have found myself in the Nikon family the last couple years. And now, Nikon has a new point-and-shoot thats pretty sweet. The Coolpix S60.

Some quick highlights:

  • 10 MP
  • 5X Optical Zoom
  • VR Image Stabilization
  • ISO 64-3200
  • But the coolest feature is the 3.5 Inch Touchscreen Display

Almost everything on this camera is controlled through this touchscreen. There are only two buttons - the shutter and the power. You do everything else on the screen. This might be a little weird at first but it looks like a pretty cool toy. I may have to make a new purchase and upgrade my point-and-shoot.
