Nikon's Coolpix S6 WiFi camera leaked

Well, well, well, looks like Nikon's little secret about their latest forthcoming WiFi camera, the Coolpix S6 subcompact, couldn't be contained by the mere likes of the FCC. From what we gleaned, we can expect it to have built-in 802.11b/g for sending pics back to the mothership (sorry, looks like yet another software-driven solution, no Flickr support just yet), a 6 megapixel CCD, 3x optical zoom, 3-inch 230,000 pixel display, 22MB of internal memory, and an SD slot. We're gonna guess it'll be announced sometime soon (CES certainly isn't out of the cards).

Curvy.

Good grief, that display is a pretty good size. I'll take eight!

am i to expect a 60 shot battery life with that screen?

Ah what is with the gameboy camera lenses they keep using? People don't realize a 6mp ccd doesn't mean jack with a lens of this size. They're making so much profit off something like this.

How about a fake keeping it real look-a-like to the T-3 or T-33. Thanks but no thanks, I'll keep my T-33!

Any idea when they will launch?

[andi @ Dec 24th 2005 2:49AM]

When do they launch the camera?

This type of information is available from the FCC?? How do you find it (me is wondering what other goodies me can find there!)

1st poster, Matt, you may get it when it's in the 2nd gen? There has already been an S1 and S2 camera from Nikon, and wifi for them is not new.



The reality of it however is you must have their (Nikon) software loaded into the computer that you want to beem the images too, it won't just connect to any ol' router. When that is possible, and you can configure how / where you want to send the photos based on what networks are currently available, then it will be a hit.



Where I see this going wrong is on college campuses and urban settings or apartment buildings where you could unknowingly be sending photos to someone elses computer.
