    Nikon Coolpix S6

    Sudeep Naik, Aug 16, 2006 1500 hrs IST

    It seems it's raining slim cameras this season and world is getting slimmer. Cashing in on this trend, Nikon launched another in a series of slim cameras, the S6.

    Slim, Sleek, Extremely good looking, Easy to use interface, Good quality still pictures, Battery life.

    Red eye reduction systems fail most of the times, No support for USB 2.0, Camera dock required for USB or A/V output, No Image Stablization Fuctions

With the new Pictmotion function, you can select your favorite images and movie files, pick a style, and select music from a selection of five pre-installed tunes or add your own music via PictureProject. Pictmotion analyzes these elements and creates shows that also have various transitions for the image slides.



The Nikon Coolpix S6 has an additional advantage of Wi-Fi capability. Offering IEEE 802.11b/g support, it allows users to send images wirelessly to a computer. The Nikon Coolpix S6 also supports cable-free printing, enabling images to be sent directly to PictBridge-compatible printers without the need to use a computer.

I do not really mean to be rude but you really do need to fix up your accuracy. I have an S6 and it works fine with my USB 2.0. I think there was something wrong with the test system used. If you make errors like these, no one will trust your content any more.

USB 2.0 is a newer version of the protocol/specification used for data transfer which features higher transfer rates. In case one does not have USB 2.0 support the devices run on USB 1.1 which has a comparatively lower data transfer speed. Remeber, Higher USB version numbers describe the USB interface with more features and higher speed. So, dear Blogger, although your device is working, it transfers data at a lower speed.

"dear" jumbo king. Please dont tell me abt the whole USB 2.0 thing etc. in case u DONT know, you shud, that when u plug in a device which is USB 2.0 into a 1.1 socket, windows nags u with a blip saying that uve plugged in a 2.0 device into a 1.1 socket. If u DONT get the notification it usually means that uve plugged a 2.0 into a 2.0 Also, to finally remove all realms of doubt from ur mind, the motherboardi m using is an ASUS A8N32-SLI. that has NOTHING but USB 2.0. So, as i was saying, "dear" jumbo king, this review is rubbish because its either not even DONE or done on a low end system. Who ships a 1.1 usb these days???

I use a S2 IS, which i deem to be perhaps the best all round cam within 20k, but then it is much bigger in size and almost unwieldy to carry except on special occasions. After some time one desires a pockatable compact cam like S6- but i selected the best one- that is Canon ISUS 800 IS- because of its fantastic camera performance, 4X optical zoom and image stablisation- of course also because this has a optical view finder.Though slightly more expensive- i deem the Canon IXUS 800 a better investment, because of good experience with Canon digicams- my son is still using the 4 yr old Canon A-60.

sauravin- at mid entry level within Ts. 15000 the best all round camera that U can buy will be Canon A-620- though not available from canon direct anymore- it is about 12-13 k & with 35 to 140 mm excellent optical zoom- plus 7 MP- it is unbeatable value, not too big- not too small & its movies mode with sound is very good. Of course within the same budget - U could pick up a Canon A-700 with a 6X optical zoom- which is even better- saw it on Ebay india- Canon digicams are the best and they have better service from canon india.
