I bought this Nikon S60 camera just before Christmas and used it for 24 hours and find out the quality of the pictures this camera takes are very poor; both at night and day, in door and outdoor. The large 3.5” screen is good and the touch screen is kind of fun to play with. But I was very disappointed it picture quality so I retuned and bought a Canon 1100S instead, much cheaper and far better camera for its price.
