Description — Nikon Coolpix S6
The Nikon COOLPIX S6 is a 6MP point-and-shoot camera housed in a slim metallic body measuring 4.0 x 2.4 x 0.8 inches and weighing just 4.9 oz. Its 1/2.5-inch sensor produces images at up to 2816x2112 pixels, while the 3.0-inch LCD provides a large, clear interface for framing and reviewing shots. Autofocus uses a contrast detection system, and the camera supports burst mode at 2.2 fps for catching moments as they happen.
ISO sensitivity spans 50 to 400, covering typical daylight and moderately dim scenes. Connectivity includes WiFi and USB, with SD card storage rounding out the feature set. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps the camera powered without the need for disposable cells.
Video records at up to 480p. There is no image stabilization and no weather sealing, so users should factor those omissions into their buying decision. For casual everyday shooting in a genuinely pocketable package, the COOLPIX S6 covers the essentials.
