Nikon COOLPIX S9100 12.1MP Compact Digital Camera

Packing a huge 18x zoom lens into an incredibly slim body, the COOLPIX S9100 lets you close in on your subject in style wherever you go. The versatile NIKKOR lens offers wide-angle to super-telephoto coverage, while the camera’s compact dimensions make it ideal for carrying around.

No matter what kind of light you shoot under, the highly sensitive back illuminated CMOS image sensor captures scenes just as you see them. Sensor-Shift Vibration Reduction ensures sharp photos and movies, even when shooting at the telephoto end of the zoom.

The COOLPIX S9100 – a slim super-zoom for superior images in any situation.

  • 18x super-zoom with a stunningly slim body
  • Back illuminated 12.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor
  • Full (1080p) HD movie-recording with stereo sound
  • 7.5 cm (3-in.), 921k-dot LCD monitor

Key Features

  • Impressive super-zoom housed in a remarkably slim body.
  • 18x NIKKOR wide-angle zoom lens offers outstanding precision and sharp resolution (35mm equivalent: 25-450 mm).
  • Back illuminated 12.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor increases the amount of light that each pixel receives, improving sensitivity and reducing noise for superb performance in any light.
  • 7x anti-blur automatically counters blurred images in seven different ways. Hybrid VR (Sensor-shift and Electronic Vibration Reduction) reduces the effect of camera shake and can be set simultaneously for additional protection. High ISO (up to 3200) light sensitivity reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low-light. Motion detection compensates for camera and subject movement. Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the sharpest of up to 10 sequential shots. Dedicated light modes: deliver superb results in any light, even without a tripod: Night Portrait mode delivers beautifully detailed night scenes and indoor portraits. Night Landscape mode lets you shoot sharp images at low ISO. HDR*2 backlight mode offers impressive tonal detail in any situation.
  • Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound: a dedicated movie-record button makes it easy to begin filming. Optical zoom and autofocus are available during recording, and you can capture a photo while filming. Boasts an option to film in slow or fast motion using recording speeds of up to 240fps (QVGA). HDMI connector with HDMI-CEC support for output to a HDTV.
  • Large 7.5 cm (3 in.) 921k-dot LCD monitor offers vivid color reproduction, sharp contrast. Boasts Nikon’s Clear Color Display technology that reduces power consumption and minimizes reflections, even in bright sunlight.
  • EXPEED C2 image processing system provides enhanced movie recording, high-sensitivity performance and maximum image quality.
  • Easy Panorama 360°/180°: lets you pan vertically or horizontally to create dynamic panoramas.
  • Special Effects mode: makes it easy to shoot creative still images or movies using a special effect. Offers a range of effects, including high-contrast monochrome, Soft focus, Nostalgic Sepia and Selective Color that lets you emphasize a color of your choice and turns the rest of the image to monochrome. You can review your choice of effect on the LCD screen before shooting.
  • Extensive retouch functions let you enhance the photos you have taken without the need for a computer. The Retouch Menu offers a range of filter effects and the Creative Slider makes it quick and easy to adjust the brightness, saturation and color tone of an image.
  • Smart portrait system: advanced automatic features for perfect portraits. Smile Timer takes the shot when your chosen subject smiles. Blink Proof alerts you when someone had their eyes closed. Skin softening adjusts uneven skin tones on people's faces for smoother looking skin. In-camera Red-eye Fix corrects false eye color due to flash the instant you take the shot.

Slim, stylish design with 18x zoom reach

Fine craftsmanship begins with the slim, stylish lines of a compact camera that fits comfortably in the hand. It then squeezes in the versatile reach and range of an 18x optical zoom NIKKOR ED glass lens that provides focal range of 25 mm wide-angle to 450 mm super-telephoto coverage.*
*35mm format equivalent.

Sure shooting in challenging lighting situations

Night Portrait and Night Landscape scene modes make it easier to capture beautiful photographs at night by exploiting the camera shake and noise suppressing advantages of the back illuminated CMOS image sensor and EXPEED C2 image processing engine. A handy Mode dial provides quick access to each mode. Sensor shift and electronic VR image stabilization help to ensure consistently sharp results.

Full HD movie recording with stereo sound

Record full 1080p HD movies with stereo sound at the press of a button. Operate the 18x optical zoom while recording, or save a still image at any time by pressing the shutter button. And the built-in HDMI mini connector with HDMI-CEC support enables output to your HDTV*.

With an 18x optical zoom and 12MP backlit CMOS sensor the COOLPIX S9100 hints at being a serious compact. But how does it shape up when put to the WDC test? Read more ...

PROS- Fun camera that I take everywhere I go. - Night landscape and night portrait modes work well. - Nicely implemented flash release. - No problem getting decent images at longest focal length using VR. - Camera metering is good.
CONS- Noticeable degree of barrel distortion at widest focal length. - In camera HDR is not good, images come out grey. - Dust easily gets inside the lens causing dots on images (probably happens with all long zoom compacts like this.

OK
I had another Nikon Coolpix that I wanted to replace rather than repair (after I dropped it hard). I liked the old camera alot and thought an updated Coolpix would be perfect. The reviews on this looked fairly strong. However, I am really disappointed with the quality of the pictures. Read more ...

Not the Nikon I expected
Place camera in auto and sometimes you get a good picture, need a fast pic, subjects moving and forget it. Have an 2yr old Casio that works better. Read more ...
PROSWas exited to upgrade to this camera, 18x zoom, 1080 video, all great features; until I started to use it!
CONSVideo is choppy at best and washed out in outdoors with shade. Camera freezes and had to remove battery in order to get it to boot again. Read more reviews at Nikon's website and it looks like this freeze issue is a problem to this camera with people waiting on parts form repair facility--not going...
