Nikon Coolpix S6 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Wi-Fi Capable)

This camera is awesome! It offers everything it says it will offer. Cool features, sleek body, don't talk back, that's way I like my women and cameras (ha ha just kidding). Overall it takes great pictures, which is what it really comes down to. The bad reviews are just from Cannon users who most likely don't even own the camera so pay no attention. I prefer Nikon, they make professional products for consumers at fair prices. Check out my web site to see some of the pictures I have taken with it. Cannon sucks!

I was torn between several cameras but the Nikon is the best.One thing that is overrated in cameras is the megapixels, they are just used as a marketing tool; anything over 5mp is fine for almost all photographers. What really matters is the shutters, lens, and properties. Here are some pros and cons of the camera:+ The screen is bright, large, and detailed+ The battery lasts quite a while+ The camera itself is smaller+ Transfers wirelessly to your computer+ Buttons are easy and well designed+ Picture quality is up to standard+ NEVER get red eye with this camera, no need to edit afterward+ Takes great pictures at night (lights, fireworks, ect)+ Takes fantastic portraits because the camera automatically focuses on the face of the subject- Sometimes the camera takes too long to take a picture, and if you have it on portrait mode it flashed 5-6 times before it snaps the photo- The wireless transfers seem to take forever, sometimes I think it may be better to upload directly to the computer- Every so often you will get a blurry picture (1 in 75 or so)

I bought an S6 just before my trip to Disneyworld. Excited as anyone would be, I took a bunch of shots outside my house and then looked at them. Not only were most of the pictures out of focus, but the flash would come on when in full zoom in broad daylight. I chalked it up to a defective camera and exchanged it for another at Best Buy. Now I had to leave for my vacation the next day and did not have any time to play with it other than charge the battery and take a couple indoor shots. Just in case, I brought my Nikon 5600 also.Long story short, the focus problems still existed with the S6, the flash still came on for no reason, the camera would use a shutter speed more than 1/60 of a second in bright sunlight (some shots were 1/29th or something similar!). Pretty much all the photos need one or two sharpening passes in Photoshop to make them look decent, and it basically took worse pictures than my 5600 and my 4300. I would not recommend this camera until they work out the bugs in the firmware. The LCD display is great (3"), and the recycle time for the flash and saving pictures is great (<=1 second most of the time) but that is all I can say that is good.I am going to send a cd of pictures to Nikon and see what they say. Maybe they just got a bad batch, but I got my camera from two different stores. If you do buy this camera, I hope you don't have the same problems as I did. I returned the S6 for a refund and am going to buy a D70s instead. The S6 is nowhere in the same league as the D70s, but I expected the S6, being 2 or three generations later than my 4300, to take better pictures.

The camera have been produced in 2006. Since then the unsold stock is still sold for unsuspecting persons like me for high price. Comparing to similar cameras of today camera it is bulky, has no internal memory and who knows whether there are any service center alive to support it...The WiFi setup drivers for the camera are for Windows XP only, they don't work on Windows 7 and higher. And I haven't managed to make the WiFi to work on Windows XP as well. Even Nikon wrote on their site that they don't plan to release new drivers for it.Conclusion: I regret for buying it and don't recommend to anyone.

okay

As described. Would buy again

This is the first Nikon I have ever owned, and I am happy to say that I am impressed. I had a Sony cybershot DSC-1, and I used to think the pictures on that were great until I got this camera.My situation was I brought my Sony to Florida and on the 2nd day, something happened, and the lense went out of focus. Went o some of the "same day repair" places down there to find out that it would be a min of $40 to look at it, and that situation would probably cost a min of $250.At that point I started looking at what these shops had to offer and I came across this camera. I must admit at first I wanted to ignore it, thinking it was all hype over the great lens, and the wireless ability, but the more I looked at it, and thought about it, I started to get into it, and I will say the pictures it took after we bought it, were amazing.I have some of the most clear pictures in the parks then I would have ever thought I would get. I would say this is probably the best purchase I have ever made, and even though I paid a little more for the camera then is posted here on amazon, I realize I was in a tourist trap, and he also threw in a 1gig high speed SD card for free...

Though being a Nikonist for years and knowing the possibilities of that camera I could never imagine the results and performance of this item, easy to handle,incredible small for the capacity and giving the same options to get the same quality of pictures than the D80.I have both.
