Slipping the Nikon Coolpix S6100 into your travel bag might be the best thing you’ll take with you on your next trip.

With it’s slim styling and quick response touch screen LCD you’ll be able to get the still or video images you want simply and quickly, a real advantage when having your hands free is just as important as getting the perfect shot.

Built with a 16mp CCD imaging sensor, a 7x wide-angle optical zoom lens, low light shooting up to 3200 ISO, four way vibration reduction and the ability to capture video for HD 720p movies, the S6100 has the power and the technology to bring back excellent images no matter what the conditions are. And you’ll look good while doing it, too.

Expect quality images each time thanks to features like the best shot selector, motion detection and the smart portrait system. The smart portrait system is unique in that it has a smile timer that releases the shutter when a subject smiles, even if you don’t say cheese. The S6100 also has blink proof technology which allows you to capture two shots and save the one with your subjects eyes open. A real benefit when taking those once in a lifetime portraits.

If the moment calls for video, simply press the one-touch button conveniently located below your right thumb and start shooting beautiful HD 720p movies, complete with stereo sound. You can even zoom in or out while recording.

And when it’s time to show off your images or videos, take advantage of the bright 460,000-dot LCD touch screen with brightness control and anti-glare coating for easy viewing. You can even create a slide show, complete with music, of your whole outing to share with friends.

Thanks to a 16.1 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor, the BIONZ image processor, Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom lens with a 25mm wide angle view, the Sony DSC-WX9 has the power to let you capture everything your heart desires no matter where your travels take you.

Not only does the WX9 have the power, it’s also got the technology to make sure you get the shot you envisioned every time. Take advantage of such features as Superior Auto Mode which takes 6 shots simultaneously and combines them to give you an image where the exposure and clarity are at their best. Superior Auto Mode can also detect 36 scenes for still images and 44 scenes for movies, ensuring that you will get your best shot depending on the environment you are in, automatically.

If you expect high quality video from your point and shoot, the WX9 offers 1080i60 HD video capability with an HDMI connector so you can easily enjoy and upload content to your HDTV. With the WX9 you can even zoom in and out while recording, a bonus feature that videographers love.

With such enhancements like soft skin mode, smile shutter technology, face detection and an anti-blink function, you can expect to get the best shot possible in low light situations for portraits of family and friends. Or, go a little further and have fun using the 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama feature along with iSweep Panorama for one shot landscapes to make those travel images snap back at you in all of their living color.

When you’re all done shooting for the day and you’re ready to share your “treasures” with friends, easily view your days shots on the bright 3.0-inch XtraFine LCD screen or upload them to your computer using the provided Sony picture motion browser software.
