Nikon Coolpix S6300 Preview

Nikon recently announced nine new Coolpix cameras, four of which are members of their super slim S-series. The S6300 costs about $150 less than the S9300, but other than the zoom length and GPS capabilities, the two cameras are virtually identical. So, if you don't need an 18x zoom lens or GPS, you might consider the S6300, which is only $30 more than the S4300, but has a number of very important upgrades including a BSI CMOS sensor.  CMOS sensors are generally considered more powerful than their CCD counterparts because they shoot full 1080p HD videos, are faster, and handle extreme lightning conditions much more like film.

The S6300 is a sub-$200 camera with a nice big, fast, high quality sensor, and a long 10x optical zoom... All in a super slim body.

Nikon Coolpix S6300 Features:
  • 16.0-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor 
  • 3.0" LCD screen
  • 10x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom-NIKKOR Glass Lens (25-250mm)
  • Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound and 
  • High-speed continuous shooting
  • Easy Panorama Mode (180 or 360 degrees)
  • Creative Effects, such as:
    • Low Key
    • High Key
    • Nostalgic Sepia
    • Selective Color
The Nikon Coolpix S6300 will be available in February 2012 for $199.95 in Red, Black, Silver and Blue.
