Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Grab your passport, grab your camera and go!
Advanced, Powerful, yet can go anywhere
921,000-dot, ultra-high resolution displayThe new Nikon COOLPIX S9100 is loaded with innovative Nikon technology, like a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor that assures superb image quality in low-light conditions. Optimized with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED C2 processing engine, you'll capture natural looking pictures with exceptional detail. You'll also love composing images on the large three-inch Clear Color Display. This dazzling 921,000-dot, ultra-high resolution display, makes viewing photos and HD movies instantly gratifying.
Whether you're people watching in Paris or waiting for just the right light to hit the Grand Canal in Venice, the COOLPIX S9100's High-Speed Shooting feature captures five photos in approximately one second at full resolution. And Subject Tracking keeps the camera automatically focused on your moving subject.
At 1.4 inches thin and 7.6 ounces in weight, the portable COOLPIX S9100 is the perfect travel companion, no matter where in the world you take it.
Wide-angle, high power, compact Zoom-NIKKOR® lens
Producing precision camera optics is at the heart of Nikon's proud photographic heritage. The COOLPIX S9100 is no exception. Its high quality 18x wide-angle optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens offers impressive telephoto coverage (25-450mm) with outstanding color capture and razor-sharp results. This is the only lens you'll ever need for exacting portrait studies, scenic panoramas, and challenging compositions. Plus, we realize that shooting from the roof of an SUV, a gondola overlooking the Swiss Alps, or a whale-watching boat in Iceland can get bumpy . That's why we've included a five-way, Hybrid Electronic VR Image Stabilization system with the COOLPIX S9100. It uses sensor shift in combination with electronic stabilization features to minimize the effects of camera shake, so you can say goodbye to unwanted streaky or blurred images.
Create a scene and get the most out of every shot.
Night Landscape modeThe world is brimming with creative shooting opportunities, and the COOLPIX S9100 has the advanced features to match. Choose one of 19 Scene Modes to assure optimized camera settings for specific scenes. Or, with Scene Auto Selector, the camera automatically selects the most appropriate mode from among seven choices for you. Plus, Nikon's amazing Easy Panorama mode allows you to pan the camera in any direction as it automatically detects, combines and assembles your shots into one seamless panoramic image.
With Night Landscape mode, the COOLPIX S9100 captures high quality images at night. It shoots a series of consecutive shots and composes them into a single, brilliant image. Night Portrait mode takes outdoor portraits against bright backgrounds and combines multiple shots to capture the essence of night scenes. And, the COOLPIX S9100's Backlighting HDR Mode automatically provides optimum exposures when you're shooting backlit subjects.
Bring back Full HD (1080p) movies of your treks around the world.
Sharing your travel adventures—or posting them on the Internet for friends and relatives—is even more exciting with Full HD (1080p) movies. While the COOLPIX S9100 can capture hundreds of memorable still images for you to easily print and save, its moviemaking features bring a safari, ski trip, cruise, or balloon ride to life. The One-Touch movie recording button shoots 1090p HD Movies—complete with stereo sound. Plus, optical zoom and auto focus functions will bring you close to the action. You can even shoot still images while recording movies, or experiment with special effects like fast or slow motion. When the time comes to share your movies, simply use the in-camera playback feature or the convenient HDMI-CEC output for quick hookup to an HDTV or computer.
In-camera special effects that don't require post-shot processing.
You don't want to be hassled with post-shot processing, which is why Nikon equipped the COOLPIX S9100 with in-camera special effects. These advanced features help you take shots you've never considered before! You can re-capture yesteryear with the Nostalgic Sepia effect, or try some intricate black and white shooting with the High-Contrast Monochrome feature. This versatile camera also lets you highlight bright areas of a photo with the High Key effect, or highlight dark areas with the Low Key mode. A Selective Color feature boosts the vibrancy of specific aspects of a photo or movie, while Soft Effect subdues harsh elements for a gentler, silkier look. The COOLPIX S9100 even has a Creative Slider to adjust the brightness, intensity and hue of an image.
Convenient features
When traveling on an exotic adventure, you can't afford missed photo opportunities. You'll find Nikon's Motion Detection feature to be important because it identifies moving objects and automatically adjusts shutter speed and ISO to assure crisp, blur free images. When conditions conspire against you, Nikon's Best Shot Selector automatically takes up to 10 shots and saves the sharpest image. ISO speeds up to 3200 will help you capture great shots in low-light. Blinking eyes and red-eye can ruin portraits . That's why the COOLPIX S9100 includes Blink Warning. It also offers in-camera Red-Eye Fix™ that automatically corrects red-eye as you shoot and Skin Softening that smoothes skin tones. The COOLPIX S9100 also has Macro Shooting for shooting as close as 1.6 inches. And, when you're in remote regions, you'll appreciate the camera's 270-shot rechargeable Li-ion battery.

This is the camera I keep with me where ever I go. It's getting on the large size to just slip in your pocket, but I use a case that clips onto my belt. That gives it better protection anyways. It fits much better to my man-hands than my last Nikon point and shoot and I don't feel like this one will slip out of my hands. It has good grip and a rubberized texture that helps me to hold onto it. I opted for the black which I think looks the sleekest. The S9100 feels solid in the hands, just the right weight.
Powering on is fast, it's ready to shoot within a couple of seconds. It is also the quickest focusing camera I've had and in a normal lit room I don't suffer with shutter lag like I did with my old cameras. I've read reviews before I purchase that some were complaining about how fast the zoom is. I actually like that and depending on how much to move the zoom lever controls how fast it zooms. I hate waiting for a camera to decide it's going to zoom after you've held the lever down. I've missed too many shots because of that. It's not a problem with this camera.
This is the first camera I've had that has a dedicated video record button. Just hit the button and you'll be recording HD video. There were several modes of video that you could shoot, 1080p, 720p, high speed, VGA, see the specs for complete listing. The high speed was fun to mess with on moving subjects. Just make sure you have reset the video mode once you are done so you'll be ready next time.
There are not many manual controls, but that's not what this camera is geared towards. It's a competent point and shoot with some cool extras. You can change the exposure, flash mode and there a macro mode on/off. There are some creative modes the most fun to play with is the selective color. You can choose a color then you will see and take pictures that are black and white except for anything that registers that chosen color. When you rotate the selector dial into the back lighted subject mode there is a HDR mode. The little I've used HDR on this camera, I would recommend using a tripod to steady the camera. I'm still discovering this feature but will probably still use my DSLR for creating HDR photos.
The S9100 is a great all around point and shoot camera. It's quick, takes great crisp pictures, packs a 18x zoom lens, shoot HD video, and has some creative modes to play with. I think most users that only want a point and shoot or user that have a DSLR and just want an everyday camera will be happy with the S9100. I've been able to get more clear crisp pictures that I do with my DSLR and if force to only have one camera I would keep the S9100.

So I bought the camera and took it to South Africa. It was my backup camera and the one I used when I didn't want to carry around my DSLR camera. I got some very good photos and learned some things in the process. First, 18x is a heckuva zoom in a compact camera. When you go to full zoom, it is hard to keep from shaking the camera when you press the shutter. So for low light shots at full zoom, use the 2 sec timer to separate the pressing of the shutter button from the actual exposure. This really reduces blurring in this situation. Second, I found the auto scene select feature frustrating, and did better using the auto mode or selecting the scene mode myself. Third, yeah, at high iso values there is some noise in low light photos, but no worse than the competition and better in some cases. And I got decent shots even up to 1600 iso as long as I didn't try and blow them up too big (5x7 would be ok). Fourth, there may be a little softness in some shots, but many shots are very sharp, especially when you consider the 18x lens in this compact camera.
Of course, several reviews came out after I bought the camera and returned from my trip. But those seem to confirm that this really is an excellent camera and under-rated by many of the reviewers on Amazon. Recommend checking out the photographyblog.com review above and the following:
