Nikon CoolPix S6900 review

But first, let me take a selfie...

Rear stand for shooting hands-free selfies ; Front-facing shutter release ; Touch-screen control

Smudgy noise reduction at higher ISOs ; Self-timer de-activates after every shot ; Poor value for money

A range of decent features including a 12x optical zoom, touch sensitive articulating screen and inbuilt Wi-Fi and NFC are let down by less than fantastic image quality.
