COOLPIX S6400 16 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Zoom and 3-inch LCD (Black) (OLD MODEL)

Nikon 6400. Bought this to replace a old Nikon 3700. what a difference, the old one did a job over the years, thousands of pic and movies lot of wild life .. This new 6400 is like a Cadilac compared to the 3700 being a horse and buggy, there is no comparison. the old said 3x Zoom. it would not zoom at 25 feet, looked the same as no zoom, I was leary of this one which is 12Xzoom, Oh the old one while in movie would not Zoom, the New one zooms in any mode and It is truly a 12 zoom, will try to attach 2 photos taken at 300 or more feet no zoom and 12 zoom, it does what it says. clear touch screen, that is a time saver, only had it a few hours and all ready learned a lot, touch screen makes it easy to navigate and change the settings, the old one never did learn how to use all the features and was terribly slow navigation. the turkey was taken from a window at 700 feet away full zoom, the coyote 80 feet or so without zooming Smaller slimmer can't say how much I like this 6400, at $129.00 it is a steal. By the way some one said charging is crappy, I ordered this from amazon and now have 3 batteries , one with it and the two with a charger, always have one charged, think I paid around $17.00 charger and two batteries at Amazon here's the link B008UZHDOI 5 day's later Boy practiced on some squirrels at 80 feet, one was setting and one was in full run, both came out perfect, the running shot no blur, both filled the pic like they were 5 feet away, update two months of use, still love it more, But the batteries that I have the link to at amazon, why, because the stock sony battery failed to charge with very little use, the others are great, last forever. can't seem I can insert a product link so heres the link copy paste B008UZHDOI got a coyote at about 80 yards, camera is great, hope it loads a short movie, just ordered another Nikon, here Nikon COOLPIX L830 16 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 34x Zoom NIKKOR Lens and Full, it has a 34 X zoom, here on amazon today it it $196.00 should be even better for little more money,.

I was really excited for this camera. I wanted a really good camera for pictures and to take videos. I finally got this camera after waiting about two to three weeks. It came with a really big crack on the screen and when you turned the camera on the crack took up about half of the screen which was not disclosed in the description. Another issue I had with this camera is the recording time limit. This camera can only record about 30 seconds of video, which is way too short for what I wanted to use it for. I was very disappointed and highly recommend not to get this product or buy from this seller.

I love this camera! I can not say enough about this camera. The only hesitation I had buying it was the fact it took rechargeable batteries...but resolved that with the purchase of another product allowing me to always have 2 extra charged and ready to go. This camera has options I still have not used, but nice to know they are there. I have owned it for over a year and have used it enough to be able to speak of the reliability and quality of photos. It is lightweight and easy to use, takes amazing photos and has been (begrudgingly) the replacement product for my Canon AE-1 film camera. I have owned several other digital cameras and they were okay, but I always felt like they lacked something compared to the quality of the photos my film camera produced. This camera however, has been the first that I can honestly say has changed my mind about film versus digital. I have noticed that sometimes, as mentioned in the reviews I read before purchasing it, it does not instantly take the photo when you press the button. However, it just started doing that after owning it for a year and it seems that it is in direct relation to the focus...as in if you are zooming in a good bit, it does not fire off as quick. Also one other time I noticed it, it was 16 degrees out and I had been carrying it a pocket. (keep in mind I had experimented with different settings prior to all this, so I am completely convinced it has more to do with that than the actual quality or functioning of the camera). A friend of mine who does professional photography was looking for a decent option to his bulky Nikon for when we go on trips or hiking, and liked my camera enough for its portability, ease of use, and quality of photos that at his request I bought one for him for Christmas. It really is point, shoot, enjoy.

Really good quality, easy to use, works quick, battery life is long

I bought the attractive light purple model of this phone for my wife for Xmas 2013, and was she ever surprised and delighted! A large LCD screen on the back gives you an excellent view of your photo/video, and both HD pics and videos turn out stunningly clear! Nikon has always been known for outstanding optics, and they don't appear to have skimped on this modest-priced unit. My wife is tough on electronics, so we'll see how long this lasts, but after one month with a lot of use it is still like-new and functioning perfectly. Highly recommended!

The Nikon Coolpix S6400 is very small, measuring 3.8 x 2.4 x 1.1 inches and weighs about 5 ounces. The 12X lens extends from a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 25 mm to 300 mm. The 1/2.3 inch image sensor is typical of digital cameras of this class. Because the sensor's low light performance is proportional to its size (generally, the large the sensor, the better its low light sensitivity), this class of camera performs best where there is ample light. On the other hand, also because of the small sensor size, it becomes possible to design a zoom lens with greater zoom range without prohibitive physical dimensions/weight or cost. It is amazing that Nikon can squeeze a 12X lens into a case that is just 1.1 inches thick. The Coolpix S6400 features a touch-sensitive screen that does away with many traditional buttons; only the shutter, movie, play mode, and camera mode buttons are actual physical buttons. A 3-inch screen can be fitted here mainly because of the minimization of real buttons. This also leaves very little space to place your thumb when holding the camera; luckily the camera is very light so it doesn't strain my fingers when taking pictures. I always tie a hand strap between the camera and its case (not included), so that I can hold the case with my left hand while I take picture with my right hand. This is a safety arrangement to make sure that I am less likely to drop my camera to the ground when someone inadvertently bumps into me. Original manufacturer's battery is often very expensive (>$20), so I usually buy new third party battery on eBay. For the Coolpix S6400, you can typically get two EN-EL19 compatible batteries with free shipping for less than $10. The EH-69P AC Adapter/Charger included in the camera package is in fact a AC to USB converter, not a standalone battery charger. This means the battery needs to be charged inside the camera, like so many others. This problem can be solved with just a little cost. While Nikon's MH-66 battery charger costs $42.95 retail, you can buy a third party external charger for the S6400 on eBay for $3.99, with free shipping. There is another model (S6500) that is identical to the S6400 except that it has an additional Wi-Fi file transfer capability. I bought the S6400 because I don't need this feature and the S6400 has a better bang-for-the-buck. Update (1/7/2014): After a few weeks of use, I found two somewhat annoying things about the S6400, which prompted me to take off one star from my original 5-star rating of this camera. 1. Upon pressing the on/off button to turn on the camera, I need to wait about 8 seconds before I can press the shutter release to take a picture, so if I see something happening fast and whip out the S6400 to attempt to take a picture, chances are I would miss it. Moreover, if the camera goes into energy-saving mode after the default 1-minute time (user changeable), it will also take 8 seconds to return the camera to operation capable status. 2. Touch control may not be as accurate and reliable as physical button. I cannot browse pictures quickly, as the touch interface simply won't allow it, furthermore, navigating a picture after zooming in is slow and unreliable. Knowing now that the S6400 is not well suited for quick shots, I still like the pictures that the S6400 can produce. The auto focus lens is fast and sharp, and the colors are very nice. Pictures taken with flash always look evenly lit and well-exposed.

Had a horrible experience purchasing from here!! The battery doesn’t hold charge for more than 5 minutes (even though it is a battery from Nikon). I can’t take more than 8 photos without it saying ‘Battery Exhausted’ and shutting off. I’ve even bought a battery charger and let it sit outside of the sun for hours and it didn’t fix anything!!!

Easy to use, takes great pictures, zooms in well and I love the size of the viewing screen. I also like having a touch screen and the price was AWESOME.

Cet appareil est bien pratique au niveau de taille et de technique. Il est simple, pas compliqué ! A recommander !!

Ho comprato questa macchina fotografica e soddisfa pienamente le mie aspettative. Versatile, intuitiva, veloce...rapporto qualità prezzo estremamente alto! Consiglio ai fotografi non professionisti e a tutti coloro che vogliono a disposizione una macchina fotografica piccola, leggera e di buona qualità.

Nach einigen Testkäufen hier und im Handel, für mich die beste Kamera in dieser Preisklasse positiv + sehr wertig + sehr gute Bilder (auch im Raum) + sehr guter Blitz + Zoom auch bei 12x nicht verwackelt + Touchscreen funktioniert sehr gut, obwohl ich ein iPhone gewöhnt bin, gebe ich hier eine glatte 1 + gute Nachbearbeitungsmöglichkeiten + mit dem Akku bin ich auch zufrieden (man muss ihm vielleicht Zeit geben sich zu entfalten) etwas negativ - Panoramafunktion ..... bei frühzeitiger Endung des Panoramas wird der Rest grau gefärbt. Bilder werden dadurch sehr flach. Das geht bei anderen Kameras besser. Je kürzer das Bild, je höher bleibt es. - Videos haben zwar ein schönes HD-Bild, aber ruckeln sehr oft, als käme der Prozessor nicht mit? - letzter Aufnahmemodus bleibt beim Ausschalten erhalten. Das kann ins Auge gehen, wenn z.B. auf Macro gestellt ist, man dies übersieht und schnell mal ein Schnappschuss gewollt ist. neutral - mitgelieferte Software ..... na ja..... ich brauche sie nicht. Zum "normalen" zwischendurch Knipsen, ein sehr gutes Gerät. Bin glücklich damit !

Regalata per Natale ad un amico che voleva una macchina compatta semplice da usare e questa è perfetta. Non espongo dati tecnici che si possono trovare ovunque su internet ma dico solo che la qualità è Nikon e si vede, i colori sono molto belli e la messa a fuoco e rapida e veloce nei limiti di una compatta. Piccola, pratica, questo modello è touch, unica cosa che non gradisco e la trovo inutile nonchè scomoda, ma l'ha voluta così espressamente il destinatario del regalo. Ha la connessione wi-fi che scaricando un'apposita applicazione sullo smartphone permette di passare le foto dalla macchina al telefono, funzione che non serve a molto ma che in qualche caso può risultare utile se vogliamo avere qualche foto sul telefono senza passare dal pc. Lo zoom è un 12x che su una compattina non è niente male e non fa per niente scomodo. Complessivamente l'ho trovata un buon prodotto a un prezzo contenuto, grazie ad Amazon per l'ottimo servizio fornito.

Mit Gardemaß 96 x 59 x 27 mm und 150 Gramm Gewicht gehört die Nikon Coolpix S6400 in die Kategorie „leicht und dünn“ der ständigen Begleiter, und ihre Rundungen machen sie zum Handschmeichler. Aber leider ist das Gehäuse auch noch glatt wie ein Aal. Daher ist beim Fotografieren Vorsicht geboten, damit das gute Stück nicht mangels irgendwelcher Rutschbremsen aus der Hand gleitet. Modische Farbvielfalt Zu haben ist die Nikon Coolpix S6400 in den Farben Schwarz, Rot, Silber, Violett und Blau, die UVP liegt bei 250 Euro. Insgesamt gibt es nur sechs mechanische Bedienelemente: on/off, Zoomwippe, Videoaufnahme, Auslöser und zwei Tasten. Die Bedienelemente – außer dem Auslöser – sind klein, und ihre noch kleinere Kennzeichnung ist schlecht zu erkennen. Die Funktion der beiden länglichen Tasten, rechts am Display, ist unzuverlässig. Der Tastenhub ist nur an dem runden Ende der Taste ausreichend groß. Drückt man auf das andere Tastenende mit dem kurzen Tastenhub passiert meist nichts. Das 3 Zoll große Display ist ein Touchscreen. Die Auflösung beträgt 153.333 RGB Pixel und sorgt für eine Abbildung, die korrekt in den Farben sowie durchweg scharf ist. Leider steht bei der Aufnahme von Fotos nur ein Fenster 49 x 37 mm für das Motiv zur Verfügung. Der verbleibende Rand wird zur Darstellung von Symbolen verwendet. Bei der Wiedergabe und bei Videoaufnahmen wird die gesamte Displayfläche von 65 x 37 mm zur Bilddarstellung genutzt. Bei entsprechender Einstellung kann mit einem Fingertouch am Display der Fokusbereich definiert werden. Nach einer kurzen Verzögerung ist die Kamera auf diesen Focuspunkt eingestellt und die löst automatisch aus. Menüführung mit Köpfchen Im Hauptmenü werden Bildgröße, Touchscreenfunktion, ISO-Einstellung, Serienaufnahmen, Weißabgleich, kreative Effekte, Filmsequenz und weitere Menüpunkte eingestellt. Aus diesem Menü gelangt man dann an die Systemeinstellungen. Das ist etwas ungewöhnlich – die Systemeinstellungen werden in der Menühierarchie meist zuerst eingestellt – aber durchaus machbar. Die Symbole für schnellen Zugriff sind logisch und an der linken Displayseite positioniert. Belichtungskorrektur, Makro, Selbstauslöser, und Blitzfunktionen lassen sich so mit einem Touch aufrufen. Mehr Einstellungen gibt es nicht. Nachdem die Aufnahme im Kasten ist, kann sie mit der Funktion Kreative Effekte weiter aufgepeppt werden. Dabei können Sie anhand von Beispielbildern aus 19 verschiedenen Effekten auswählen. Die Brennweite des Zoomobjektivs reicht von 25 bis 300 mm (KB). Das ist in unseren Augen praxisgerechter als etwa 28 bis 336 mm, was ebenfalls einem 12-fach Zoom entspricht. Die Lichtstärke von 6,5 bei der langen Brennweite müsste man korrekterweise schon eher als Lichtschwäche bezeichnen, auch 3,1 im Weitwinkel hauen keinen so richtig vom Hocker. Insgesamt ist die Kamera ordentlich verarbeitet, nur die Abdeckung für die Steckanschlüsse ist aus Kunststoff und hängt an zwei dünnen Halterungen. Die Stativgewindebuchse ist aus Kunststoff und sollte sehr vorsichtig behandelt werden. Die Abdeckung für das Akkufach ist gefedert und etwas leichtgängig. Der Sensor klingt nach Standard und liefert Standardqualität: 16 Megapixel auf einem 1/2,3-Zoll-CMOS-Sensor bieten 1594 LP/BH in der Bildmitte bei ISO 125 im Weitwinkel, der Randabfall ist mit 300-400 LP/BH über alle Empfindlichkeiten ähnlich stark ausgeprägt. Bei ISO 100 und 400 ist wenig Rauschen zu erkennen; die Bilder wirken seltsam glatt gebügelt, sonst aber eher ausgewogen. Ab ISO 800 sind deutliche Artefakte an den Kanten zu erkennen. Fazit Die Nikon Coolpix S6400 ist eine durch den Touchscreen aufgewertete Mainstream-Kamera, die weder begeistert noch enttäuscht.
