  • 12-megapixel BSI CMOS imager, 18x wide-angle zoom (25-450mm), Large, hi-res LCD performs well in bright light, Full HD videos (1920 x 1080 at 30 fps), Backlight HDR for expanded dynamic range
  • Images not super sharp at full zoom, Few manual adjustments (forget aperture, shutter speed), No optical image stabilization
  • The Nikon S9100 is definitely worth putting in your pocket on your next trip, as its pluses definitely outweigh the minuses. Just don’t expect perfection. ...

  • Excellent image quality. Impressive light performance. Fast. Huge, 18x optical zoom lens. Large, high-res LCD.
  • Antiquated UI. Proprietary USB port.
  • The speedy-shooting Nikon S9100 delivers a big 18x optical zoom lens and a high-res LCD in a small, pocket-size package at a great price. Buy it now...

  • The Nikon Coolpix S9100 gives a slick performance, in terms of both attractive design and handling. That said there is more competition than ever in the travel zoom market. Fortunately though, while the S9100 doesn't shoehorn in as many features as th...
