    Great for still shots... Not for any action though

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 29, 2006 | 3 out of 3 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: Small and easy to tote around

    Cons: the sports function works poorly.

    If you have children or pets that move any quicker than a slow walk this camera is not for you. We have tried everything! We read the book front to back, changed the ISO, tried new scene selections... Took it into the camera department to see if anyo...ne could figure it out, and they all had the same result!! Nothing works, the baby can't even wave at you without his hand being a blur! My dogs are blurs as well. I am returning it. I am really disapointed, one of my my girlfriends has the older version that takes the AA batteries and it works great for this stuff! I thought we would be very happy with this camera. I am very sad. We had the olympus stylus 800 and it was stolen, it was great with high speed pictures, I loved it. They have a newer version, but it costs an arm and a leg. :( Read more Less

    Nikon S6

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 23, 2006 | 3 out of 4 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: Good quality. Great image!

    Cons: N/A

    When I bought this camera, I thought it was just a regular digital camera. Once I opened the features offered, I realized that it was as if I had a computer at my hands. The quality of the photos and videos are amazing. I fell in love with it.

    Good pocket shooter, but let down on quality

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 7, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: Small, really slick looking, metal case, very easy to carry.

    Cons: Poor quality build, bad at low-light, over the top flash

    I loved the S6's size and the ability to slip it in to my pocket. I was looking for a good quality camera that I could slip out, grab a shot with and then crop it on my PC. In general I have that, but I've been shooting recently in low light ...and have been disappointed by the quality of the shots. Where I feel other cameras would have performed better, the S6 has been blurry. Also at close quarters the flash is waay over the top, producing badly flattened and flared shots. Both of these I could have lived with, after all the camera wasn't that expensive, but the clip holding the battery in broke in the first week forcing me to tape the case shut and then the nice little lense cover got stuck. Next time I'll go for something else. Read more Less

    Nikon Coolpix S6

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 2, 2006 | 3 out of 5 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: big lcd screen, sleek, able to bring everywhere

    Cons: its expensive

    This camera is my favorite camera out of the 6 cameras I have owned. There are many features. It is also sleek and you can take it everywhere with you. All you have to do is slip it in your pocket and you are out the door. The only thing I can say th...at I didnt like too much was the price. But it was definetly worth it. I would reccomend the Nikon Coolpic S6! Read more Less

    Very Nice

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 25, 2006 | 3 out of 5 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: Great size, very stylish, huge screen, great pictures

    Cons: A little pricy, but worth it.

    This camera is amazing, I've had 2 digital cameras previous, and this one is easily the best I've owned. It can't be beat in terms of size and capabilities. Just make sure you catch it while it is on sale!

    Get a better camera for important photos

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 5, 2007 | 1 out of 2 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: big screen, lightweight, inexpensive

    Cons: bad flash, blurry photos, terrible in low light and sunset, poor zoom, hard to see screen in the day time

    This camera works very well outside on a sunny day. But take it indoors, low light or at night and you're looking at blurry images that just don't work. I took this camera with me on a trip to India. During the day the camera worked great, b...ut when used during low light times, any natural hand movement, makes the photos come out blurry. When using the flash, the camera automatically focuses on anything in the foreground and illuminates that when keeping everything in the background dark and out of focus. There are better digital cameras out there. Read more Less

    Small, Simple, yet POOR.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 15, 2007 | 1 out of 3 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: large screen, easy to carry around

    Cons: fragile, bad flash motion pictures, hard to hold, small buttons

    Every single picture so far that I have posted on my flickr has been with my s6. I always played around with my sister's and my mom's coolpixes before I bought it. I loved having them handy and with me at all times. So I knew that I wanted to... get a Nikon. For me, I have my camera in my pocket everywhere I go. I get up in the morning for school and make that I have it with me. The size is really the only thing that I really like about this camera. If I had the choice, I would take it back now and get a refund. I would spend a lot more time looking to see what all was out there. Of course, now I am smarter and know exactly what Im getting. * The screen is great, dont get me wrong. But you better hope you at least have taken some good pictures to show off with your fabulous screen. * Even thought I have my wrist strap on, the camera still feels like it could slip out of my hands. * The zoom is frustrating and hard to use for those who have larger hands. * I have to explain to EVERYONE how to simply take a picture if I want to be in a shot. (They dont know what button to press I guess?) * Action shots are TERRIBLE with the S6. Unless it is bright and sunny outside...good luck getting a picture of anything moving. You would have to change the exposure down really low to maybe get a picture. * Plastic tripod mount. * Pictures look MUCH brighter on the screen than they do on the computer. You can't always go with what the picture looks like on the camera. Hey, if you are outside on a nice day and want to take pictures of your kids on a picnic, this is a fine camera for you. Or even if you want to experiment with some nice macro shots, then that's great too. For everything else....use a different camera. It's just too hard to capture what I am actually SEEING through my eyes with this camera. It's almost like a bad work out. I am getting a Canon Rebel XTi...and I am very excited. Big jump, and I can't wait to actually take the quality pictures I have been missing out on. I hope that this helps someone... FIND A DIFFERENT CAMERA! Read more Less

    nikon coolpix S6

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 4, 2006 | 2 out of 7 found this Nikon Coolpix S6 review helpful

    Pros: large screen

    Cons: the battery only works for 8-10 pics and then it quits

    if I hadn't taken my trusty 35 mil. camera and several disposible cameras our vacation would have been ruined.
    the battery only last for a very short time, we were told it was good for up to 200 pics, we got fooled, and ripped off.
