Nikon CoolPix S6 digital camera

Nikon's slimline, Wi-Fi-enabled snapper is clickin' marvellous.

This is a compact with an embarrassment of riches. Slim, elegant and packing a three-inch LCD, it lets you fly through the great-looking snaps you've just taken using a small iPod-style wheel, then send them to your PC or printer wirelessly via Wi-Fi. Can't you just feel the jealousy from its rivals?

Nikon's last Wi-Fi compact, the P2 opened a new chapter in wireless photography but looked less than chic, in much the way that Patrick Moore looks less than chic. This, by contrast, is as thin as any lifestyle snapper, while the three-inch screen bursts with clarity and colour, as well as serving up a wide viewing angle.

The, if you will, 'rotary multi-selector' (or "clickwheel", if you don't work for Apple's legal department) is a revelation, screeching through menus and images at up to ten per second. It's the most intuitive camera control mechanism we've ever seen, and can even work as a traditional four-way selector - you just press it up, down, left and right.

A dedicated button for "Face Priority" auto-focus adds to the user-friendliness, and there are plenty more scene modes available via the clear menus. If we must quibble - and we must, we're T3 - the zoom lever is too fiddly. If you called it a nipple, you'd be overstating its size, and the zoom is pretty sluggish as well.

Wireless working is about as easy as it gets. Once set up via USB (you'll need your Wi-Fi network's techy details), you can beam those sharp, colourful images direct to your PC or its printer - uploading a shot takes about seven seconds.

It looks great, shoots great and makes falling off a log look like quantum physics. Add straightforward Wi-Fi functionality and you've got a winner.
