Review: This new 6400 is like a Cadilac compared to the 3700 being a horse ... - Nikon 6400. Bought this to replace a old Nikon 3700. what a difference, the old one did a job over the years, thousands of pic and movies lot of wild life .. This new 6400 is like a Cadilac compared to the 3700 being a horse and buggy, there is no comparison. the old said 3x Zoom. it would not zoom at 25 feet, looked the same as no zoom, I was leary of this one which is 12Xzoom, Oh the old one while in movie would not Zoom, the New one zooms in any mode and It is truly a 12 zoom, will try to attach 2 photos taken at 300 or more feet no zoom and 12 zoom, it does what it says. clear touch screen, that is a time saver, only had it a few hours and all ready learned a lot, touch screen makes it easy to navigate and change the settings, the old one never did learn how to use all the features and was terribly slow navigation. the turkey was taken from a window at 700 feet away full zoom, the coyote 80 feet or so without zooming Smaller slimmer can't say how much I like this 6400, at $129.00 it is a steal. By the way some one said charging is crappy, I ordered this from desertcart and now have 3 batteries , one with it and the two with a charger, always have one charged, think I paid around $17.00 charger and two batteries at desertcart here's the link B008UZHDOI 5 day's later Boy practiced on some squirrels at 80 feet, one was setting and one was in full run, both came out perfect, the running shot no blur, both filled the pic like they were 5 feet away, update two months of use, still love it more, But the batteries that I have the link to at desertcart, why, because the stock sony battery failed to charge with very little use, the others are great, last forever. can't seem I can insert a product link so heres the link copy paste B008UZHDOI got a coyote at about 80 yards, camera is great, hope it loads a short movie, just ordered another Nikon, here Nikon COOLPIX L830 16 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 34x Zoom NIKKOR Lens and Full, it has a 34 X zoom, here on desertcart today it it $196.00 should be even better for little more money,.
Review: Battery damaged & camera doesn’t work - Had a horrible experience purchasing from here!! The battery doesn’t hold charge for more than 5 minutes (even though it is a battery from Nikon). I can’t take more than 8 photos without it saying ‘Battery Exhausted’ and shutting off. I’ve even bought a battery charger and let it sit outside of the sun for hours and it didn’t fix anything!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Charger is included?**
A: Yes there is a charger included that plugs in to the camera. The battery must be charged while inside the camera.

**Q: What kind of memory card does it use?**
A: I have a 32 GB scan disk ultra in mine.  think it would take any memory size (it's the small one).  But I've had trouble with it not keeping a charge even when it's off.  constantly plugging in to recharge.  anybody else have that problem?  it's new, but maybe the battery they gave me is not.

**Q: I need a simple to operate camera to take pictures for online selling. Any suggestions? Thank you!**
A: I bought the Nikon Coolpix S6400 16MP camera and it takes great pictures. The zoom is amazing and downloading the pictures is a snap. If you want a reasonably inexpensive, but worth it's weight in gold, camera...get a Nikon. It is an easy point and shoot camera. I have 3 different Sony cameras, including the touchscreen one, and the Nikon is just as good.

**Q: What kinds of SDHD cards work with this camera?**
A: SDHC CLASS4

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great option for those waiting to be convinced digital can be as good as film
*by S***Y on December 31, 2014*

I love this camera! I can not say enough about this camera. The only hesitation I had buying it was the fact it took rechargeable batteries...but resolved that with the purchase of another product allowing me to always have 2 extra charged and ready to go. This camera has options I still have not used, but nice to know they are there. I have owned it for over a year and have used it enough to be able to speak of the reliability and quality of photos. It is lightweight and easy to use, takes amazing photos and has been (begrudgingly) the replacement product for my Canon AE-1 film camera. I have owned several other digital cameras and they were okay, but I always felt like they lacked something compared to the quality of the photos my film camera produced. This camera however, has been the first that I can honestly say has changed my mind about film versus digital. I have noticed that sometimes, as mentioned in the reviews I read before purchasing it, it does not instantly take the photo when you press the button. However, it just started doing that after owning it for a year and it seems that it is in direct relation to the focus...as in if you are zooming in a good bit, it does not fire off as quick. Also one other time I noticed it, it was 16 degrees out and I had been carrying it a pocket. (keep in mind I had experimented with different settings prior to all this, so I am completely convinced it has more to do with that than the actual quality or functioning of the camera). A friend of mine who does professional photography was looking for a decent option to his bulky Nikon for when we go on trips or hiking, and liked my camera enough for its portability, ease of use, and quality of photos that at his request I bought one for him for Christmas. It really is point, shoot, enjoy.
