Handy compact camera in a cool design and with special effects

The S6800 is like their cousins ​​& sisters from the Coolpix Sxxx clan very slim and handy. Despite the large screen on the back is plenty of room for the controls. The symbols I already know from the Coolpix S4300 (this is equipped with a touch screen). Surprised me that the S6800 despite the 12x zoom is just 2 mm deeper than the latter with 6x zoom.

The quality of the exteriors is good. However, the camera has problems with indoor shots. Here the trip time in my opinion is very often too long. But in poorly lit rooms Inne came so far anyway not our compact cameras on the quality of the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd old approach.

The S6800 has some extras. Those who enjoy to follow up photos, this may be done directly with the camera. Very handy, I find this the red-eye correction. Funny are also some of the advance corresponding filters. I have to admit though, that I would have used 20 years ago certainly more frequently and with more enthusiasm ...

The Panorama function first requires some practice. My initial tests showed significant blur. But if you once raushat the arc, good, impressive panorama images can be captured without visible transitions. This feature I previously knew only of smartphones.

Conclusion: The Nikon Coolpix S6800 is a good, handy compact camera in trendy design with a great monitor. Social Media Fans can tweet their photos after installing a Nikon app or post it on Facebook. In addition, a number of direct or subsequent image processing effects are offered.

Who all is not required and is only looking for a simple holiday clippers, will find in the Coolpix family but also cheaper models.
