  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: The LCD screen is huge, and it is easy to hold that is the best thing about this product.

  Weaknesses: pictures are very poor, low light even with the flash your pictures are dark and blurry. The image stablizer only works if your using a tri-pod. Outside pictures aren't as bright as they should be.

  Overall: I have 5 year old Sony Mavica im going back to. Don't buy this Nikon CoolPix. It is horrible and I can't even take it back. Maybe it is broken, I am having it looked at, hopefully there is something wrong. I kinda doubt it. Very expensive mistake I made.

  Strengths: i would say the reults (quality of photograph) is what impressed me the most. also the ease of use..the rotary control is just amazing !!

  Weaknesses: i can't really figure out any problems with the camera...its just too good.

  Overall: i've always loved Nikon... believe it or not..they produce the world's best and the finest lens, good photographers always prefer a nikon n so would i. The S6 produces superb quality images and thats all i care for when buying a camera - be it a point n shoot or an SLR. Although i don't really care for the looks but if u insist for my views, i would say its one of the best looking camera's in the market. its super slim, super compact with a very impressive bright 3 inch LCD. Other thing that impressed me was the rotary control... it does most of the tasks n thus is simple in use... the ease of use is a very important criteria while buying any electronic item n nikon understands this very well.. i'm very much satisfied with the battery life. Wi-fi is nice n simple and is a great help especially when u run out of space in ur SD card.. it has a feature which enables u to directly send the photographs to the local computer as soon as u click the snaps. Other features like BSS, pictmotion, D-lighting etc is just too good. The wave design by Nikon just shows how well Nikon understands its customers..it fits the hands so well !! I would strongly recommend this camera.

  Strengths: Large LCD, bright screen, easy to use options

  Weaknesses: Not great in dark settings,Zoom range

  Overall: I purchased this camera this month, and enjoyed using it on vacation. Easy to use options, I am still exploring. Did not take pictures well in dark settings, but I hope to find a remedy for those situations, maybe on the Nikon website. Very nice package, sleek. I have the white one that was actually sent by accident, but happened to like it even more than the silver.

  Strengths: user friendly, big LCD screen

  Weaknesses: Flesh light not strong enough

  Overall: I bought this one to replace my old casio EXZ-570.Basically you need to be very sdeady to get a good picture shot. Hard to get a good shot in the dark.I still like my old one better.

  Strengths: good software, easy to handle,easy installation and not a dificult camera to use. Great for anyone.

  Weaknesses: the product is outstanding. The only problem I've had so far is keeping it clean. You'll need the leather case or something really soft because the LCD screen gets easily scratched.

  Overall: This is my first digital camera and so far I love it. Its very practical, looks great, great software. I take it with me everywhere I go. The picture quality is really good. I've had not problem with this camera so far,except for trying to keep the LCD screen from getting dirty or scratched. However I really like it and I would certainly buy another product from Nikon and pagecomputer.This is a great product, even if you are a beginner.

  Weaknesses: Very difficult to see what you are trying to take on LCD screen

  Overall: Easy to use features, scroll wheel, focus great. Takes sharp pictures and colors are true. Very slim and compact, easy to put in purse or pocket. Software loaded good but not able to connect using WiFi on Mac or Windows computer.
