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.
