The Nikon CoolPix S6800 is an ultra-compact and incredibly easy to use digicam. Built for anyone looking to just point-n-shoot, the camera goes anywhere and is always ready to shoot both stills and video. Read more in our Full Conclusion. |
Nikon's new Coolpix S6800 was one of five new Coolpix models launched at CES 2014. While it may not have the zoom reach of the $80-more-expensive L830, the S6800 boasts many of the same great features. These include a 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS image sensor (great for shooting in low light scenarios), Full 1080p HD Video Recording, a 3.0-inch LCD display, and 18 Scene Modes to easily adjust the S6800 for different shooting conditions.
What makes the S6800 a bargain is that, in addition to a 12x optical zoom (digitally extendable to 24x), it includes Target Finding AF (autofocus), Advance Glamour Retouch in-camera editing features, 4 all new functions, and built-in Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi and the free Nikon Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility app running on a compatible smartphone or tablet device, it's easy to share your photos instantly.
