The new COOLPIX S5 and S6 combine high-quality imaging performance with impressive new Pictmotion photo sharing technology. Both the S5 and S6 have sleek, slim wave designs, appealing to users who want their cameras to look as great as the pictures they take. Each camera boasts 6.0 effective megapixels with a 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens and the S6 features built-in WiFi support for wireless image transfers and printing.

Digital Camera Resource Page has written up their review of the Nikon Coolpix S6 and conclude-

“The Nikon Coolpix S6 packs just about every conceivable feature into its slim body. Huge LCD? Check. Fancy movie mode? Yep. Tons of scene modes? And then some. Heck, the S6 even has Wi-Fi built in. Of course, none of that matters if the camera can’t take good pictures — and I was disappointed with the Coolpix S6 in that respect.

The Coolpix S6 is a slim metal camera with a “wave” design. It’s not the smallest camera in its class, but it will still fit into your smallest pocket with ease. The camera is well built. The S6 gets a mixed review in terms of usability. While the buttons on the back of the camera are okay (and I like the four-way controller wheel thing), the buttons on top are truly microscopic and hard to use. The S6 has a big and beautiful 3-inch LCD that has average visibility in low light and better-than-average visibility in low light. Unfortunately this huge screen doesn’t leave much room for your fingers, which makes the camera hard to hold. Not surprisingly the S6 lacks an optical viewfinder, and I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that’s a good or bad thing. The camera comes with a dock, which is required for USB or video out and optional for battery charging.”

If you want to avoid using a computer, you can even wirelessly print your images without ever turning on your computer.
