Nikon is launching two COOLPIX S-series models - the S6500 with built-in Wi-Fi and a high-powered zoom, and the S2700 with extensive automatic shooting functions.
The S6500 is a compact wide-angle, high-powered zoom model with back illumination and a CMOS image sensor with 16.0 million effective pixels. It also comes with a 12x optical zoom Nikkor lens which covers a broad range of focal lengths, from a wide 25mm to a telephoto 300mm (both equivalent in 35mm format). With Wi-Fi compatibility, users can also upload high-quality images and movies to social networking sites through a smart device. The new S6500 also has five new Glamour Retouch effects, including Brighten Faces and Whiten Teeth.
The slim S2700 has a 6x optical zoom Nikkor lens, with wide-angle and zoom capabilities. It also has a selection of automatic shooting functions, including six types of Scene Auto Selector modes. The camera has a variety of image-editing functions such as Special Effects and Filter Effects, as well as advanced functions like motion detection and subject tracking. The S2700 comes in pink or purple and offers flower designs on the body's front surface.
