Nikon Coolpix S6 first impressions.

Finally got a new digital camera. I went out yesterday to experiment with it. All in all it's a pretty decent camera that takes good pictures and it's really easy to use. Nice design which which is really light and thin, very comfortable to hold. I like the blur warning and the one touch brighten button. If your pictures are underexposed, you can brighten them in playback mode with one touch without erasing the original.

Things I'm not so happy with are the flash, which is a bit on the bright side and the zoom. If you zoom in too close, even in the daytime, pictures can be a bit blurry or grainy. Maybe I just have to keep experimenting with different settings. It's only the first day using it after all. Another small but annoying thing is the on/off button, which is too small, so someone with big hands may have a hard time turning it on.

I took around 2 shots with it, and most of them turned out pretty well, very crisp image quality at 6.0 Megapixels. Colors range from from pretty good to very good, but not excellent. Anyway, I usually tweak the colors in Photoshop to my liking anyway. This is a pretty good camera for the money and a good choice for graphic designers I think. The only big difference with this one and the lower priced Coolpix S5 Camera is that the S6 has a slightly wider image area and wireless download capability, which is worth the extra dough.
