 Sony DSC-S600 review at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Sony Cybershot S600 digital camera. The new Sony S600 features a six Megapixel resolution and a precision Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with a 3x optical wide-angle (31 - 93 mm) zoom and a large, two-inch LCD screen for easy viewing and image sharing. Sony has added high-light sensitivity (up to IS0 1000) to the Sony DSC-S600, allowing for higher shutter speeds in low-light conditions and reducing the chance of blurred images. Powered by Sony’s Real Imaging Processor circuit, the Sony S600 boasts a quick start-up, fast shot-to-shot times, and long battery life, up to 460 shots per charge using rechargeable NiMH batteries.

 Sony DSC-S600 - Body and Menu
According to Steve Digicams: "The S600's body is functional, but while it is not unattractive, few would call it stylish. The controls are well-placed, leaving plenty of room for your right thumb and preventing accidental activation. My only complaint with the body is with its tripod mount; it's located at the extreme left side of the body, making it difficult to tighten with enough force to prevent camera movement. The menu system is logically organized and will be quite familiar to current and past Sony users."
Sony DSC-S600 camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "The lens produced sharp results from corner to corner throughout its zoom range, with noticeable barrel distortion at wide angle and pin cushioning at telephoto. Chromatic aberrations were well controlled, with very little purple fringing present in high contrast areas. Outdoor images were well-exposed and sharp with true to life colors. Autofocus worked quite well in dim lighting, helped by the focus-assist lamp. Flash power was well controlled at close range, making the S600 a good candidate for capturing images of small objects for online auction listings."
