NIKON, , This compact camera is the successor to the COOLPIX S6600 and is the first COOLPIX S-series camera to be equipped with a vari-angle LCD monitor making shooting from a host of angles as easy as Pi; whether from a low or high angle, surely putting a smile on the faces of any selfie-loving user. Our favourite feature, however, is the easy Wi-Fi connection which comes in to play by simply touching the camera and a smartphone together.
