A fellow named Brett has complained – with profanity – that my article on BoomerCafe was not “technically” accurate. It is because of the profanity that his comments are not posted. He bought a Nikon S600 and was defending his decision. He said that my photo of the band was “grainy.” Yes, it is. But I think he missed the point – the photo of the band was shot at ISO 1600, and it’s infinitely better than anything the Nikon S600 could shoot under low light conditions. I gave the Nikon S600 extensive evaluation and had even considered buying one until I saw the poor results from the Nikon S600, an inferior camera, in my opinion to carry the “Nikon” name and an expensive price tag. I had attempted to ask Nikon about the camera but their outside PR firm is unresponsive.

“Toilet paper–unused–indeed.” I think this is Dave’s way of grabbing the attention of those of us who were his pals at Wakefield High School. It worked for me. I’d have bought the camera he recommends if this article had been published two months ago. But with gas prices the way they are, I can no longer afford to drive to Best Buy to pick up a Canon. Ah well.

I just got myself a Canon SD870 yesterday! It’s so easy even I can use it.

I agree with Katie. I had been looking at Nikon but checked out and bought a Canon SD870 today. Thanks for this nice article.

Thanks, David! Perfect timing! I’m heading overseas and was looking for a new camera under $300. I had been aiming for a Nikon, so especially appreciate the comparison. Great quality shots!
