Nikon Coolpix S9

Review of the Nikon Coolpix S9

Compared to other Nikon "S" series cameras, the Nikon Coolpix S9 is a fairly straightforward model and this is reflected in the price. It has a high 6 megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom and a 2.5" LCD screen. Key Nikon features include the D-Lighting function to rescue underexposed images, Face-Priority AF mode for better portrait shots and an in-camera red-eye fix. There are 15 scene modes to help you get the right settings for different lighting conditions. This camera does have an internal memory of 24MB which is somewhat higher than the 12-16MB found in most other Nikon "S" series cameras. Movies are recorded at 30 frames per second and a stop-motion movie function brings still images to life so you can create your own animations. This camera has all the essential Nikon "S" series features but without some of the extra bells and whistles to be found on, say, the Nikon Coolpix S7c. The S9 therefore offers good value at an affordable price.
