Start-up time is new success criteria

The COOLPIX S620 has the fastest start-up time in its class

Nikon’s COOLPIX S620, released in February 2009, is a great example of a product that has successfully incorporated time factor in its design.

Nikon could see that many users complained about the wasted minutes – and photo opportunities – resulting from the slow start-up time on some digital cameras.

So they made time efficiency a key design element.

Fastest on market

Nikon’s new model starts up in just 0.7 seconds – the fastest in its class – instead of the whole 1.5 seconds it can take some cameras to start up.

As a result of considering time factor, Nikon created a product that meets the user’s time needs and offers a strong brand proposition.
