Good things in small packages: Nikon Coolpix S6

The first thing you notice about the 6-megapixel Coolpix S6 is its sleek design; the camera is just an inch thick and weighs less than 500 grams. But look closer and you will notice a great set of features as well.

Despite its small size, the S6 comes with a 3 inch LCD screen as well as speakers. It also comes with a slide-show feature called Pictmotion which combines your pictures and music to create a slide-show which can be viewed on the camera itself.

The S6 has a rich set of features to improve your pictures and these are easily accessed through the one-touch portrait button. Face Priority AF detects human faces automatically to produce sharply focussed pictures. D-lighting corrects for pictures which are poorly lit and there is also an in-camera red-eye fixing feature. In addition, there are 15 scene modes to take great pictures in a wide range of situations. You can also shoot movies with sound at 30 fps as well as time-lapse movies (like a flower blooming or clouds passing by). Finally the S6 is Wifi-capable and you can transfer pictures wirelessly both to your PC and compatible printers.

The S6 retails in India at around Rs 20,000.
