Nikon Coolpix S9300 Review
Review posted 08/17/2012
During the first half of 2012, Nikon added four new models to their popular S-series of slim, yet sophisticated cameras; with the flagship model being the Coolpix S9300. It's a super-zoom camera (18x) that's still only 1.5-inches thick. It also has built-in GPS for Geo-tagging and minor navigation needs thanks an an electronic compass, as well as a top of the line BSI CMOS image sensor and host of automatic and convenience features.
If you have the extra cash to get one of the better appointed point-and-shoots available, the S9300 might be for you.

Bottom Line |
| This pocketable point-and-shoot packs a lot of power, sophistication and ease of use in a small package. Its 18X zoom and ultra-fast burst modes will get you shots you would not get otherwise, and make for a lot of fun in the process. However, image quality can be a little disappointing if you have a large PC screen or make big prints, and the auto focus could be quicker. Read more in our Full Conclusion. |
