Reviews of the Nikon Coolpix S6 (silver)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Great click wheel; slim design; solid color reproduction.
The Bad: Irritating top buttons; extremely limited Wi-Fi capabilities.
The Bottom Line: The Nikon Coolpix S6 is a stylish performer with a handy control wheel, but its Wi-Fi implementation feels almost like an afterthought.

Review Summary: The Coolpix S6 turns in fairly average battery life numbers for its class. If you use the Wi-Fi a lot you probably won't get anywhere near 200 shots, though

Review Summary: An excellent slimline snapper that boasts pain-free Wi-Fi. Real quality gear!

Review Summary: It is stylish, and does have some decent features, but the CoolPix S6 really falls down with regards to image quality. There are better deals elsewhere in the compact camera space.
