been designed to appeal not only to beginners of all ages, but also to people who've never even considered buying a digital camera before. A redesigned graphic user interface (GUI) lets the user navigate functions by either menu item list or icon, enabling the beginner to find the right mode at the right moment to achieve the best results, time after time. Furthermore, with a handy new Help button that displays a description for each selected function on the main menu, the process has been made easier than ever before.

The camera also features a large, bright 1.8-inch LCD screen, making it easy to compose shots and view recorded images at any time. It's been designed to consume much less power, making it possible to take almost twice as many images when using regular AA alkaline batteries.

Like its predecessors, the Coolpix 7600 also features Scene Modes, which allow the camera to adjust to the most typical shooting environments--Sunset, Fireworks, Indoor, Portrait, etc.--with the turn of a dial. The Coolpix 7600 and 7600 also feature an entirely new Scene Mode, Underwater Mode, which produces more satisfying, true-to-life colors when using the optional WP-CP3 waterproof case (case not included--must be purchased separately) to shoot scenes while snorkeling or scuba diving to a depth of 130 feet. This exciting new addition increases the number of Scene Modes to 16.

The Nikon Coolpix 7600 digital camera makes the entire digital process more convenient. Its PictBridge compatibility makes it possible to print directly to a printer, without the need for a PC. For those who enjoy organizing and sharing their photographs on a computer, Nikon Coolpix cameras ship with Nikon's proprietary PictureProject software, a user-friendly photo-management application designed expressly for use by Nikon Coolpix photographers, which offers a broad selection of cataloguing, editing, and sharing functions. This software package is aimed at providing a central application that is simple, intuitive, and seamless for Coolpix digital photographers.

A Great Product For The Money!, July 6, 2005
Reviewer: Martin A Hogan

This compact camera is far easier to use than my old HP Photosmart 3.2 and my Canon 2.0, with easy to learn features. It has it all, including `fireworks' mode! The best are the various `tones' you can give your pictures. Just look at all the technical specifications here and you'll be amazed! I like that I can video in three different modes with great sound and that I can film in so many different modes (headshot, distance, fireworks, nightscape, backlight, etc.) that you can never screw up. Plus it is 7.0 pixels which is really incredible even when you crop half a photo! Unlike most small cameras, the buttons are easy to navigate. It also comes with all the extras you need (listed in the specifications). Don't settle for anything less than 7.0 pixels, as within a year anything 5.0 or under will be obsolete. I love this little thing and bought all the accessories it didn't come with (which were few). You can also purchase a waterproof case for SCUBA and snorkeling (down to 130 feet!)
