Nikon Coolpix S6 review : Just before the start of the PMA 2006, Nikon introduced their new assortment of Coolpix digital cameras, among which the Nikon Coolpix S6. The Nikon S6 is the top model from the Coolpix S-series digital cameras, which started off with the Coolpix S1 model. At first glance, it may seem there have not been all that many changes in the time-span between the introduction of the S1 and that of the Nikon Coolpix S6 digital camera; but don't let this mislead you. The smooth and rigid black housing accommodates a variety of innovative functions that help ensure the six Megapixel resolution is used to its highest and fullest effect. The user can view the result on a fabulous format LCD monitor, measuring an impressive 3 inch.

Nikon S6 - Pictmotion function
The Nikon Coolpix S6 features a new Pictmotion function. This function lets users create much more than just a slideshow, it allows users to select favourite images and movie files, pick a style, and then select a music file from one of the five pre-installed files in the camera, or even add their own music via PictureProject for Windows only, to suit the show. Pictmotion then automatically analyses these elements to produce highly entertaining shows that are coupled with pace and transition selected to match the chosen music and style.
Nikon Coolpix S6 - 3 inch LCD monitor
These shows can then be played back anywhere, anytime on the 3.0 inch LCD monitor, and because this monitor offers a wide viewing angle of 170° (both horizontal and vertical), such in-camera entertainment can be enjoyed by everyone at the same time. The Nikon S6 also features+ Auto Image Rotation, which detects pictures that have been taken with the camera held vertically, automatically rotating them to suit in-camera LCD playback.

Nikon S6 - Coolstation MV-15 camera dock
The Nikon Coolpix S6 is standard delivered with the Coolstation MV-15. This handy dock is able to charge the battery automatically whilst it is still in the camera, simply by placing the camera onto the dock. The user also has the option to connect the dock to a television, to display the 6 Megapixel still images, or the VGA video clips, on a large format screen.
Nikon Coolpix S6 digital camera review
The Nikon S6 is a stylish digital camera that offers innovative image editing solutions and a new way of wireless communication. The tests to which we subjected the camera in practice helped form our final verdict. The results can be read in the following Nikon S6 review.
