Nikon Coolpix S6300 review

 

10x optical zoom, Full HD video recording and a 16MP sensor

10x optical zoom ; Slim ; Good macro mode

Poor panoramic mode ; Digital filters not great

Introduced in February alongside the Nikon Coolpix S9300, as part of a duo of slim superzoom compact cameras, the Nikon Coolpix S6300's headline feature is its 10x optical zoom lens.

Nikon Coolpix S6300

 

Opt for a truly pocket-friendly point-and-shoot camera and you're often settling for a compromise: small size for zoom ability. But Nikon has successfully avoided this with the Coolpix S6300, which will slip into your jeans - even those of the...

Tiny and lightweight, good zoom range for an ultra-compact, decent selection of scene modes, 1080p HD video recording

Some noise issues even at low ISO, usability could be improved, no manual mode

The Nikon Coolpix S6300 is a solid, dependable ultra-compact with an impressive zoom range, but lacks one killer feature to make it stand out over rivals.

Nikon Coolpix S6300 review

 

When the Nikon Coolpix S6300's predecessor, the S6200 , came out, it was one of the smallest, least expensive 10x zoom cameras available. It was a good camera for what it was, but not exceptional.

The Nikon Coolpix S6300 is a small, lightweight pocket camera with a ultrawide-angle 10x zoom lens that's easy to pick up and use and has a nice assortment of snapshot shooting options.

Though its overall shooting performance is good for its class, the autofocus is temperamental. Battery life is fairly short.

In the face of stiff competition, the Nikon Coolpix S6300 is an above average point-and-shoot made slightly better by a low price, simple operation, and nice features.

The S6300 isn't a bad way to get a 10x zoom lens in your pocket. However, its competition makes it a tougher sell.
