Nikon Coolpix S9300 REVIEW: Sleek and Slow
The Nikon Coolpix S9300 will undoubtedly sell well, but it's not the best option out there in this price range. For me, the negatives outweighed the positives. The camera is like Mrs. Robinson.

Clear and true colors!
I wanted another camera that has the zoom power, picture quality but not the weight to carry around on some of our travel adventures. <br />The Nikon S9300 has all the qualities I was looking for.
Pros:
- Easy To Use
- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
- Great Zoom

over priced with poor results
bought as a back-up for use in well lit action situations, I assumed that Nikons pedigree would stand me in good stead. Boy was I wrong! Even in bright sunlight, fast action was blurredand shutter lag made the sports mode un-usable.
Pros:
- Durable
Cons:
- Low-Quality Recordings

Nikon Coolpix S9300
The Nikon Coolpix S9300 ($349.95 direct) manages to pack a sharp 18x zoom lens into its compact body, but the 16-megapixel camera is slow to start and image quality suffers greatly at even modest ISO settings.
Pros:
- Sharp lens
- 6fps burst shooting
- GPS
- Good control layout
Cons:
- Muddy images at medium ISO settings
- Slow to start

This camera takes very good quality pictures in almost any light condition. Small size and versatility makes it a must have for a ski trip, hiking in the mountains, New York sightseeing and when going to a club.

Nikon Coolpix S9300 review Review
I've already compared the S9300 to the Fujifilm FinePix F770EXR on account of their similar headline specs where sensor and lens are concerned. The Fujifilm is around 10 per cent more expensive than the S9300, and were you paying for just the finish and a slightly longer zoom, you might find that...
Pros:
- Sharp
- colourful images
- Movie quality
- Long zoom
- High resolution
- Built-in GPS
Cons:
- Few manual controls
- Some wind noise on movies
- even with noise reduction

Pros:
- Good Sized Screen
- Rugged
- Nice Features and Settings
- Excellent In Low Light
- Great Resolution
- Fast Shutter Speed
- Easy To Use
- Good Battery Life

The Nikon Coolpix S9300 isn't a whole lot different than its predecessor. Aside from a new sensor and GPS, it's basically the same camera, with a very similar list of pros and cons. The body hasn't changed much, and that's generally a good thing.
Pros:
- Good value for the money
- 18X
- 25 - 450 mm optical zoom lens in a compact
- generally well-built body
- Optical image stabilization
- Sharp 3-inch LCD display with 921k pixels
- Fast autofocus in good light
- GPS receiver with compass and large landmark database
- Scene Auto Selector picks a shooting mode...
Cons:
- Noisy and soft photos have noticeable detail loss
- even at base ISO of 125
- Strong highlight clipping at times
- No manual controls
- save for white balance
- Low light focusing not great
- Below average battery life
- Flash is slow to recharge
- Not great for night shots
- due to 1 sec shutter speed limit...
