Product Description
Sleek and Slim with a Touch of Grand Performance
The slender Nikon COOLPIX S6400 is a powerful high zoom camera that adds a stylish touch to every photo and movie you capture. This pocket-sized companion, available in 5 colours, is operated by touch screen control so you can review pictures and apply a range of creative photo effects with effortless ease. Meanwhile, the 16-megapixel, backlit CMOS sensor combines with the 12x optical zoom and Lens-shift Vibration Reduction, to deliver vivid photos and movies in any light.
Small but Perfectly Formed
Beautifully sharp images and the ability to capture a wide variety of photo opportunities need not be limited to bigger camera models. Despite its slender 19.8mm body, the COOLPIX S6400 accommodates many advanced features and with the 25-300mm 12x NIKKOR ED glass lens you can bring the world closer or zoom out for that big group shot. This together with high ISO capability of up to 3200 and motion detection technology, which ascertains movement of both camera and subject to combat blur, you can be sure that the COOLPIX S6400 will be working hard to provide you with quality images to last a lifetime.
In Any Light
Whether you’re photographing a perfect sunset or a romantic candlelit dinner, you’ll really notice the benefits of the back illuminated CMOS sensor. With each pixel receiving more light, this highly sensitive image sensor works with the EXPEED C2 processor to deliver clear shots and movies in the finest of detail at any time of day or night. The special Night Portrait and Night Landscape scene modes will also assist you in capturing exquisite photos in low light.
New Intelligent AF Keeps You Focused
Target Finding AF automatically focuses on your desired subject. When photographing people, face-detection technology helps maintain accurate focus to ensure sharp images. For other subjects, subject-prediction technology automatically judges what the main subject is, and sets the AF area to match its size and position to optimise the focus. With an AF system this intelligent, blurred pictures become a thing of the past.
Touch Screen Sophistication
There’s no need to choose between brains and looks with the COOLPIX S6400. A sophisticated 7.5 cm (3.0-in.) 460k-dot, wide LCD touch screen enables intuitive fingertip control over shooting and playback, thanks to smooth touch technology and Nikon’s Clear Colour Display anti-reflection coating. You can even take pictures using the screen. By touching the screen to mark your intended subject the camera will focus on that point and capture the shot instantly. There’s 20 different Scene modes to choose from depending on your surroundings, and once you’ve taken the shot, you can enhance, alter or play around with the picture by using the creative Quick Effect mode. Simply touch the effect icon on the camera’s screen to choose from thumbnails of 19 different effects, including Toy Camera and Selective Colour.
Full HD Movie Recording with Stereo Sound
Get Full HD (1080p) filming on-demand, with a dedicated movie-record button which instantly switches from photos to video, and zooms in on the action with the 12x lens. The Record Pause function allows you to pause during filming, but when continued the camera will create a single movie file for smooth playback. With a built-in HDMI mini connector you can present your film debut on your HDTV[1].
Capture the Moment
The COOLPIX S6400 just keeps performing, with various creative modes to make your pictures come alive. Create 3D images that can be played back on 3D-capable TVs and computers, shoot dynamic panoramas in Easy Panorama 360°/180° mode, and capture sharp shots of the action with high-speed Continuous Shooting mode (up to 7fps).
Stay Connected
With full Eye-Fi X2 (or later) card compatibility, adding an Eye-fi card lets you transmit your digital photos and videos directly to your phone or personal computer, and then connect to the Internet to take advantage of Nikon’s photo-sharing service my Picturetown. This provides you with your own personal cloud storage, letting you store and share your photos and videos online, and post them on blogs or social networking sites.

The 16 megapixel CMOS sensor works in collaboration with the EXPEED processor and allows you to take clear, sharp photographs in any level of light...from a sunny day to a dusky evening...from a concert to a fireworks display. It allows just the right level of light and there's less glare and red eye than previous, similar cameras I have used, such as the Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera - Black (10.0MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5 inch LCD which I thought was rather good when I originally bought it!!
You can also select the scene mode yourself from a choice of 20, although generally I didn't feel this was necessary as the camera does automatically adjust itself according to the light settings surrounding it. However, the macro facility was useful as was the ability to photograph documents/written black and white. Further to this is its own Intelligent auto-focus system, which allows the camera to choose the clearest focus for the subject matter. This works even if the subject matter isn't in the centre of the frame.
The inbuilt vibration reduction is really useful for example when taking photographs or filming on a moving train or dancing around at a concert, and together with the Anti-blur high ISO, it ensures you take steadier photos than you'd think possible given your own motion!
Also worth a mention is the panorama option, which when compared with the Panorama option on my iPhone 5 camera, delivers a much smoother picture which doesn't look so much like several pictures cut and pasted together.
When it comes to filming, the HD quality is impressive for its size, and when said films are blown up, even on a projector to more than 100 inches, the clarity is crystal clear and doesn't suffer pixellation or graining, unlike other cameras I have tried. The large size of the touch-screen LCD screen is useful. There is a stylus included in the box, although I preferred to use my fingers.
The only slight issue I had was that I found the adapter slightly troublesome to assemble initially, although again, unlike my previous Coolpix camera, I welcomed the development which means you no longer have to remove the battery in order to charge it in a separate cradle - it is now possible to charge the battery still in situ in the camera. This is a big plus point.
Overall, a brilliant compact camera which has pride of place in my handbag for day-to-day use.
It went into semi-retirement because, like many people, I now have a smart-phone with a pretty decent camera.
But when I had the opportunity to get this Nikon free for review purposes, I jumped at the chance. I was keen to see how far the technology had advanced in three years.
Sadly, the answer (to judge from this camera anyway) is 'not much'. Yes, this one has a few more Megapixels, a slightly better Zoom, a touch-screen, and a couple of quirky features... but that's about it. Oh, apart from the insane decision to include built-in image-editing software. (Would YOU rather edit YOUR pics on a little semi-responsive touchscreen, or on a proper full-size monitor? I know which *I* prefer.)
And I'm serious about the touchscreen. It makes this camera an utter dog to use. It's the least responsive screen on any device I've ever owned. I think Nikon have sort of admitted this by including a little (rather cheap and nasty looking) stylus which is practically an essential to get the thing to recognise your taps.
So what do you get for your money? A camera with just a few more features than one I bought for half the price 3 years ago, and a decidedly dodgy touchscreen.
I wasn't terribly impressed by the battery life either. I found that at best, I could expect around 150-ish snaps before I needed a recharge. This is more of an issue because the camera has its own proprietary battery, so you can't simply pop in a couple of Duracells.
Even for free, I don't think much of this camera. I've downloaded a few apps for my phone which give all sorts of functions that I was (wrongly) expecting this camera to have (HDR, for one. The phone also gives me much better panorama and 3D shots than I've been able to get with this camera's software.)
The bottom line is that if I'd purchased this I would certainly have sent it back for a refund.
I suspect that this freebie will moulder at the back of a drawer somewhere, and when a relative or friend wants to borrow a camera for their hols, it will still be the Sanyo I lend them, not this.
I admit I'm a little out of touch with the current digital camera market, but I'd be VERY surprised if you couldn't do a LOT better than this for the money.
