For moments worth sharing, introducing Nikon’s COOLPIX S6500 with Wi-Fi and COOLPIX S2700 (08.01.2013)

Today, Nikon Europe boosts its COOLPIX range of compact cameras with two new models that are so slender and stylish you’ll want to take them everywhere. The colourful S6500 with built-in Wi-Fi, a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor and a wide-angle NIKKOR 12x optical zoom lens, lets you share your experiences instantly, connecting to the internet to upload quality shots in seconds. The sleek and stylish S2700 is perfectly pocket-sized, but packs in a NIKKOR wide-angle 6x zoom lens, 16 megapixels, a 6.7 cm (2.7 in.) LCD screen with anti-reflection coating, and HD (720p) movie recording.

“Both the COOLPIX S6500 and COOLPIX S2700 make it easy to get brilliant photos and videos when you’re on the move, and the S6500 lets you share them online in an instant,” explains Nicolas Gillet, Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon Europe. “The wide-angle lenses on both models mean you can zoom out for group shots or get up close and personal to someone special, while the Smart Portrait System and Glamour retouch options ensure the most flattering portraits possible. With the S6500, instant sharing via Wi-Fi means your friends and family can see your quality pictures as soon as you’ve taken them.”

The S6500 — Zoom in and share

The COOLPIX S6500 means you no longer have to compromise between image quality and an instant upload. Its 12x NIKKOR optical zoom lens with wide-angle coverage (25–300mm) helps you capture precise, high-resolution shots whether you’re up close or shooting from a distance, while a back-illuminated 16-megapixel CMOS sensor ensures the lighting is just right, whether you’re snapping a sunset, a dusky concert, or a romantic candlelit dinner.

Full HD (1080p) filming is easy, with a dedicated movie-record button which instantly switches from photos to video. Nikon’s automatic vibration reduction technology also counters the effects of camera shake in real time, leaving you to focus just on your composition.

Once you have the photos and videos you want to share, the built-in Wi-Fi means you can transfer them directly to your smart device[i] ready for uploading to your favourite social media venues. You can also use your smart device as a remote control for the camera, which comes in handy for self-portraits. 

The S2700 - The colourful way to capture your life

The slender S2700 fits in your hand like it was made to be there, with its 20.7 mm body that comes in a range of delightfully vibrant colours. The NIKKOR 6x optical zoom lens offers high-precision shooting, and the 16-megapixel CCD image sensor delivers clear photos and crisp HD (720p) movie clips.

Smart auto functions match your camera settings to your situation, so all you have to do is point and shoot for perfect results. Meanwhile, your subject will always look their best thanks to the Smart portrait system, with features including Smile timer, Blink proof, Skin softening and In-camera Red-eye Fix. Once you have your shot, choose from eight Glamour retouch options to make portraits even more flattering.

The COOLPIX S2700 comes in seven colours: Silver, Black, Red, Purple, Blue, Pink with line art and Purple with line art.
