Stylish touchscreen compact packs in features
Easy touchscreen ; Range of filters ; Fast ; High image quality
Poor battery ; Some menu systems too convoluted
On paper, the Nikon Coolpix S6400 would appear to have just about everything you want from a digital compact camera of its class. With a 12x optical zoom, 3-inch 460,000-dot touchscreen, 16 megapixel backlit CMOS sensor, Full HD video recording, a host...

Nikon concentrates on its Nikon 1 system at CES 2013, keeping its point-and-shoot announcements to just one 12x zoom Coolpix.
Expert review by : ePHOTOzine (ephotozine.com)
The Nikon Coolpix S6400 is a stylish compact camera with a 16 megpixel sensor and 12x optical zoom. It is available in blue, purple, red, silver and black for £214.00.
Fast high-speed shooting, Decent image quality, Responsive touch screen, Compact solid body, Available in a good range of colours, Two-year warranty
Minimum focusing distance is 10cm, Battery life is poor, Quite expensive

We go hands on with the new Nikon Coolpix S6400 that has a 12x optical zoom lens and a 3 inch touch screen.
Expert review by : Derek Fung (cnet.com.au)
Decent photo quality ; Curvy body is different
On-screen buttons disappear after six seconds ; Default settings annoy ; Too many quirks
The Nikon Coolpix S6400's curvy body is one of its few distinctions. It does a decent job of taking photos, but its interface and other quirks don't make it a particularly endearing camera to have and to hold.

Using the Nikon Coolpix S6400, it's plainly obvious that it's a very capable little camera. It seems to be fast at most things such as starting up from cold and it has a good focusing system on it. The lens seems to be good quality due to the lack of...

Nikon Coolpix S6400
Expert review by : thinkdigit.com (thinkdigit.com)
The Nikon Coolpix S6400 is the smaller variant of the much publicized S6500, it offers a somewhat different set of features when compared to the older brother. It has a 16 megapixel BSI sensor, a touchscreen and a lens that goes from 25mm to 300mm...
Compact, Sharp images, Negligible purple fringing, Touchscreen is great
Barely average video performance, Protrusion around the lens mount increases thickness, Average battery life
Consumer review (which.co.uk)
Chose this camera for Christmas because of its impressive specification, handy pocket size and its choice of cool colours. Unfortunately it refused to charge up. Despite following all suggestions from Nikon support (who were very helpful) and the...
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
compact, easy and quick to use for quick snaps. single button video mode operation good zoom range touch screen menus
auto focus use taking some getting used to - too many options? Had a few fuzzy pics as found it hard to get camera to focus on desired point of main interest - I'm getting there with practice
