Nikon Coolpix S6 Digital Camera Review

The slim and sexy Nikon Coolpix S6 was announced in February, along with its compatriot, the S5. Both cameras share similar specs, like 6 megapixels on a 1/2.5-inch CCD and a 3x optical zoom lens, with the main difference being the wireless capability on the flagship S6. The WiFi enabled digital camera allows users to send photos and videos to profiled computers and printers without a USB cable in sight. Still, the camera comes with plenty of wires in the package. Included in the box is the Nikon CoolStation MV-15, which charges the battery and provides the access point to connect to the television, computer, or printer. The Nikon Coolpix S6 has enticing features like a 3-inch LCD screen and a Pictmotion mode that strings pictures and video clips into interesting slide shows complete with techno music. Ease of use features include a one-touch portrait mode, automatic functionality, and an all-metal body, designed like a wave to make handling more comfortable. The Nikon Coolpix S6 originally retailed for $449, but the price has since been lowered to $399.
