One of the slimmest cameras with a spectacular 10X optical zoom, this baby takes the guesswork out of quality photography with its variety of auto scene options, which get as specific as pet portrait, portrait, night landscape, and firework show.

Awesome auto

1-inch thick with an especially expansive 10x zoom, Nikon's S6200 CoolPix point-and-shoot will be your go-to camera for the moment a peacock pops into view or your daughter takes her first steps. If your subject moves too often or too fast, you'll still snap a shot in time with the VR image stabilization and motion detection technology. Better yet, if you push the shutter button once, you can continuously snap 10 pictures in a row, and then the camera implements its Best Shot Selector mode to save the sharpest one. For portraits, the S6200 automatically releases the shutter when it senses the subject is similing, while it softens skin, detects blinks, fixes red-eye, and focuses on as many as 12 faces. Choose from a variety of picture effects such as nostalgic sepia, low light, high light, and black-and-white, so that you can start enhancing photos even before you've downloaded them onto your computer. Finally, the S6200 shoots high-definition video in 720 progressive format with stereo sound, not to mention the 10x zoom works in BOTH photos and video.
