Nikon Coolpix S9100 review
Feeling solid thanks to its mostly metal build when gripped in the palm, and available in a choice of sleek black, silver or red bodies, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S9100 compact camera is most notable for shoehorning in a retracting 18x optical zoom.

Blurry pictures
I am very disappointed with the S9100. I purchased at Best Buy (fortunately with a Best Buy warranty). A few month later we went on vacation and brought home only a few good pictures, the others were blurry. The Best Buy technician agreed that the pictures are not good.

Terrible
Kind of expensive for a paper weight that just sits on my desk unless I need to take high zoomed pictures and feel like playing with it for 10 minutes to get a correctly focused full zoom image. I do not have a problem using a scandisk 8 gig SD card.
Pros:
- Zooms in pretty far
- fits in your pocket
Cons:
- The picture quality is terrible
- My phone takes better pictures
- Forget about taking a picture of something moving, blur city
- At full zoom, the auto focus flips out and won't lock

We are very pleased with this camera; it was a great price & exceeds our expectations. We were looking for a camera with a fast shutter speed, to allow for capturing clear photos of our quick moving toddler. We also wanted different features for different scene modes (i.e. the "Kids & Pets" option).

Easy panorama mode realized much worse than Sony: low-res panos and looks awkward... It has a bug: set macro mode -> zoom to max tele -> half shutter button press and release -> zoom out -> no more get in focus until power cycle.

" Sort of Cheaply Made "
I am upgrading from an S6100. I was surprised with the changes made by Nikon. No written manual. The pdf is over 236 pages and try taking that out to the field with you. (can print it but the time/cost!). No case that came with the 6100. No SM CARD does have internal memory to get you going.

Feature Packed
This is equipped with a 12.1 megapixel camera and an 18X optical zoom. It also offers Full HD Recording and a 3 inch TFT LCD Screen. It uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery, which gives it a good battery life. Added features include Motion Detection Software and Blink Detection Software.

I have the s8100 and now the s9100
Recently we were going on a cruise and our s8100 stopped working. We had to get a new camera since we sent it in ofr warranty work. Wal mart had the s9100 for $199 so i jumped on it. That said, the phone does have some flaws and benefits compared to the s8100 which we got back in working condition.
Pros:
- Zoom
- Fast shots overall
- Flash popup is revised location
- Panorama mode (I love this
- Video is quicker to turn on
Cons:
- Flash popup now not automatic
- shutter button and dial knob is swapped vs the s8100
- does have some blurriness vs the s8100
