Thank you for this - I needed to learn how to set up my WiFi - I could of never done it with out this video. It doesn't say to get an app anywhere in the instructions! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, you make that Note 2 look huge.. Thanks for video. I just ordered this camera and seeing how well it works with the Note 2, seems it is a great purchase.
My Nikon S6500 power on/off button just stopped powering on, the led lights up the ring and is charged right, we have two so I tested the battery in the other works fine, tested the other battery in mine no go, so it's the power button is not pressing down right, I have read tons of folks have this same problem. Mine is just 6 months old.
Great review!.. BTW How is Nikon S6800 when compared to S6500.. I am confused between these 2 camera.. appreciate ur inputs on this so that i can choose the best one..Thanks in advance
Hello, thanks for doing this video, what setting needs to be set to blur the background and or foreground also know as bokeh, Thanks for any info that you can provide. Alex
I believe that the photos are not as good as my Galaxy Note 5 takes. Also, the Coolpix S6500 that we own stopped working after only a few months. BUYER BEWARE!
You're lucky Rick! I just got a response from Nikon saying that all I need is a firmware update. So, how does one do a firmware update when the camera is dead? Its beating a dead horse to me.....
6 String Fan go to the little wrench in the menu, check firmware version, if you have 1.1, it's updated. If you have 1.0, go to Nikon download center, download current firmware on a computer. Upload that to your sd card and put it back in camera. Check firmware again, that should prompt update
In higher level sound environments the audio section is worthless, spoiling what would be otherwise a good video with distorted sound. One would think with all of the options this thing has, they would have at least put something in it to reduce audio record gain.
I have this camera and like it very much. However, I have not figured out how to 'pause' it when I am recording a video. Could you please explain this function to me? Thank you.
yeah most likely NOT. I NEVER bought a digicam and it came with a free memory card inside! Unless it states that a memory card is included and only then it would be in a separate packaging along side the camera packaging.
Beware, I have bought 3 of these. The first was great and lasted a long time. So I bought 2 more. Problem now neither will turn on. Go on line and see this is a very common problem.
Ours has failed as well, and I haven't found a solution to the issue. I also found many others who have defective Coolpix S6500 cameras. I doubt that I'll buy Nikon in the future. They offer NOTHING in fixing the issue.
I ended up sending it back to Nikon who repaired it. They never told me what was wrong but if it has warranty just take it back. It's still a an excellent camera and have no problems since. Cheers
lol skin softening on the camera. great review. This is going to be my purchase next to my nikon dslr. It is just to big on some occasions. Just for photo's from my kid. When my phone is just to short on quality.
helpp..i cant connect my camera wiffi.. the option setting is up only to ssid, so i cant changed the wifi setting to on..=( any solution? #sorry for my bad eng =( thankss
my Nikon is less than 1 year old plugged in charger when charged wont power up battery ok model s6500 red took good pictures not reliable sorry David Simon Clear lake iowa 50428
Our Coolpix S6500 stopped working too! I have researched and found many people with the same issue. Did you ever find a solution to this? Would LOVE to know what to do!

How to send images/videos to mobile via wifi?
My Nikon S6500 power on/off button just stopped powering on, the led lights up the ring and is charged right, we have two so I tested the battery in the other works fine, tested the other battery in mine no go, so it's the power button is not pressing down right, I have read tons of folks have this same problem. Mine is just 6 months old.
***** I am having the same problem myself. please let me know if you found a solution.
Exactly the same problem that mine is having. So glad I came here for validation. In the trash it goes. Don't have the warranty any more.
Ours failed too and I came here to seek a solution, other that sending back to the manufacturer. Ours is out of warranty now.
Great review!.. BTW How is Nikon S6800 when compared to S6500.. I am confused between these 2 camera.. appreciate ur inputs on this so that i can choose the best one..Thanks in advance
Love the presentation for this camera. I'm keeping it.... Thanks for the review!

you can provide. Alex
Hi, does this have manual? Also could you please upload a night video or share the results?
Sorry to hear that - you should see the device storage once you connect the supplied USB data cable to the camera and PC
Is this camera better than any mobile phone camera?
Yes
I believe that the photos are not as good as my Galaxy Note 5 takes.
Also, the Coolpix S6500 that we own stopped working after only a few months.
BUYER BEWARE!
6 String Fan Had mine 4yrs, still perfect and original battery
You're lucky Rick! I just got a response from Nikon saying that all I need is a firmware update.
So, how does one do a firmware update when the camera is dead?

how to pause a videos while recording in this camera... i have a problem please answer me
great video :), what type of tripods can you use with this? thank you
Any light or heavy-duty tripods will do. It's a light camera. Infact you don't need a tripod except under very low-light.
In higher level sound environments the audio section is worthless, spoiling what would be otherwise a good video with distorted sound. One would think with all of the options this thing has, they would have at least put something in it to reduce audio record gain.
i have a horrible distrorted sound on the video playback. can not find anything on the net about it. any ideas???
Nikon Coolpix S6500 Or Sony Cyber Shot DSC-WX80?
I have this camera and everytime i video the sound comes out all distorted. Is there any way to fix this?
Is it still worth buying today?
I have this now and it's still captures excellent ❤
My camera wifi option not clicked why?
I have this camera and like it very much. However, I have not figured out how to 'pause' it when I am recording a video. Could you please explain this function to me? Thank you.
does it focus on the objects which are 10m or more away from camera?
i have the same camera and stop working after 5 day i purchase. please help me i don't now what happen to my camera.
Can you suggest me a camera below 15k rupees or 300$ ? I only click pictures I don't care about the video quality.
K. Thanx!
Go for nikon coolpix p530. The quality is very similar to a DSLR.
Is the S6500 an S6300 with wifi?
Thanks for the video! Are you able to change the settings of camera such as iso, aperture,
Shutter app from your smartphone/tablet?
yeah most likely NOT. I NEVER bought a digicam and it came with a free memory card inside! Unless it states that a memory card is included and only then it would be in a separate packaging along side the camera packaging.
I got it and is it waterproof
The video function only offers up to 1080p?
There is no microphone port
can i take blur image from these nikon s6500
Beware, I have bought 3 of these. The first was great and lasted a long time. So I bought 2 more. Problem now neither will turn on. Go on line and see this is a very common problem.
sorry to hear that my friend
Ours has failed as well, and I haven't found a solution to the issue. I also found many others who have defective Coolpix S6500 cameras.
I doubt that I'll buy Nikon in the future. They offer NOTHING in fixing the issue.
@crlguitar1 did you check your batteries to see if they are charged? It's internal and flat LED battery.
Help ?:I just got this camera and after I take 5 pictures it says I'm out of memory? What can I do to stop this?
You'll need to have an SD card in. I use a 32gb SD card, but you can get a cheap 4-8gb SD card which will give you a decent amount of room.
I ended up sending it back to Nikon who repaired it. They never told me what was wrong but if it has warranty just take it back. It's still a an excellent camera and have no problems since. Cheers
Thank you for your review. A friend gave me this camera and i learned a lot. What is the use of the cable with red and yellow stuff please ?
Hi may I know what nikon coolpix that has flash on video?
Yes... But with a 2x extra optical zoom, and a slightly bigger screen
Is Nikon S6500 has flash on video?
lol skin softening on the camera. great review. This is going to be my purchase next to my nikon dslr. It is just to big on some occasions. Just for photo's from my kid. When my phone is just to short on quality.

helpp..i cant connect my camera wiffi.. the option setting is up only to ssid, so i cant changed the wifi setting to on..=( any solution? #sorry for my bad eng =( thankss
Call or go to the Nikon website
You didn't mention the awful noise from the zoom mechanism that the microphones pick up on video recording. LOL
I mean memory card included, I just purchased it tonight and it has no memory card included.
i really love the camera the only problem i have is focusing near its a pain.
is not posible upload a photo to face, flickr or similar directly from the camera??
Very nice video. Thanx!
Most cameras, this one included save the video as a .MPG file.
does it have autofocus while recording?
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you. Very helpful
How do you charge
How do I keep the flash on while recording a video?
