LCD and Viewfinder
Nikon S6900 has a Fully Articulated 3" LCD screen with a resolution of 460k dots. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.
For those of you who loves shooting self portraits or group photos, Nikon S6900 will make your life easier with its
Selfie friendly screen.
S6900 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Compact camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Fujifilm X30 (Compare) or Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) (Compare). If the price is not an issue, take a look at our Top Rated Cameras with Viewfinders.

built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( with NFC) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. With its
NFC feature, S6900 can communicate with devices such as smartphones which are also equipped with this technology by simply touching each other.One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our S6900. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.
You can connect S6900 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.
Battery
Nikon S6900 is powered by battery which provides a shooting life of 180 according to CIPA standards.
Considering that the average battery life of Compact type cameras is 255 shots, Nikon S6900 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend S6900 owners to buy some extra batteries.
