COOLPIX S6Discontinued
Announced: 21-02-2006
COOLPIX S6 have been specially designed to be highly appealing as well as easy to use. More than merely having great styling, the eye-catching wave-surface designs with thin, compact dimensions make the COOLPIX S6 feel more comfortable in the hand. And in terms of control, they also feature a new Rotary multi selector that allows fast circular scrolling for speedy image browsing at up to 10 frames per second. The Rotary multi selector also features a range of buttons that further simplify operation, while an on-screen icon with a cursor that tracks circular scrolling makes it easy to select desired features. Furthermore, users can choose to select functions by name or icon according to their preferences, and all menus and icons have been made easier on the eye with a new color scheme and optimized icon dimensions.

The COOLPIX S6 delivers the additional advantage of Wi-Fi capability. Offering IEEE 802.11b/g support, it allows users to send images wirelessly to a computer as soon as they are taken or to transfer all images stored in memory to computer in one go. The COOLPIX S6 even supports cable-free printing**, enabling images to be sent directly to PictBridge-compatible printers without the need to use a computer at all.
** Requires optionally available Wireless Printer Adapter PD-10
