Nikon Coolpix S6300 Pocket Superzoom Camera
|
|
The 16-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S6300 is what we call a pocket superzoom – a pocket-sized digital camera with a 10x (or longer) zoom lens. The lens is a 10x 25-250mm (equivalent) Nikkor zoom with Nikon’s VR optical image stabilization to help keep your photos sharp. It has a state-of-the-art 16-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and can capture 1080p full HD video as well as high-quality still photos. The Coolpix S6300 is one of the most affordable pocket superzooms available right now. A few years ago a camera like this would have cost you at least $400. But you can put the Nikon S6300 in your pocket for under $150!

Great guide.
Happy you liked it, Patia
So is the 110HS better than the 320HS ($194)? Canon numbering is very confusing, I have a 310HS I bought less than a year ago (also under $200), fantastic little camera but the 110 would seem to have better specs.
I had to look them both up and compare features, Bob. The main difference, as best I can tell, is the 320 HS has a slightly larger (3.2-inch) touchscreen LCD display. Other than that, I think they’re pretty much the same. The MSRP on the 320 HS is also $20 more than the 110 HS’ $229 MSRP. Where did you find it for under $200? I didn’t notice it in my research, which began by searching Amazon’s top sellers. So either I just plain missed it, or it wasn’t on that list. But if it’s selling for under $200 for reputable dealers then it’s a solid option for people who would prefer a camera with a touchscreen LCD.
Amazon has it for $194
I want a less-than-$200, preferably outdoor compact. I was really set on the Fujifilm Finepix XP-100, but have been reading bad reviews, saying it’s a crappy camera in a nice exterior. What you think or suggest?
