Nikon Coolpix S6000

The Nikon Coolpix S6000 is a small camera that can be conveniently carried in a pocket or a purse. Its dimensions are 3.8×2.2×1.0 inch thick (97x55x25mm) and it weighs only 5.5 ounces (156 grams). However, despite its small size, the S6000 has some impressive specifications.These include a 1/2.3 inch, 14.2 megapixel sensor, a 7x optical zoom lens ranging from a wide 28mm to a long 196mm, an HD movie mode of 1280×720 at 30 frames per second with stereo sound, a four-way image stabilization system (which Nikon refers to as “VR”), an advanced flash control and many other features. The S6000 comes in silver, red, black or bronze, and its list price is $249.95. The model I received for review is an attractive metallic burgundy.Not long ago we reviewed one of

Nikon’s latest compact cameras, the S8000, a compact ultrazoom with a 10x optical zoom. Our review was very positive, with the camera given 4 out of 5 stars overall. Nikon’s S6000, which is smaller and has slightly less optical zoom than the S8000, has been the object of strong interest among our forum regulars, possibly as a result of the good review received by the S8000. Several forum posters have asked when we are going to review the S6000. So I’m happy to have been given the chance to review this intruiging camera.
