Nikon Coolpix S9300 review
For years we've moaned and groaned about camera manufacturers raising the megapixel ratings of cameras, something that gives extra detail that we don't particularly need and extra noise that we definitely don't want.

Unacceptable zoom noise when recording video!
This camera works well for everything except video. I'm sorry but when recording, zooming in or out is not an option because of the annoying sound that's recorded with the video.

Camera failed
I was most disappointed. After falling in love with the features of this camera, I found an awesome price, and bought it with much anticipation. I got it home, took 12 pictures, turned it off, to find the flash would not retract. I read other reviews of hardware failures, and decided to return it.

Fair
Excellent picture quality, but extremely hard to keep still when trying to take a telephoto picture, wavers a lot. Disappointed too that the flash does not retract automatically.

The Nikon S9300 is the latest in the company's line of compact travel-zoom point-and-shoot cameras. The S9300 combines an 18x optical zoom, 3-inch high resolution screen, and backside-illuminated 16-megapixel CMOS image sensor in a body that is no thicker than your average compact camera.
Pros:
- The Nikon S9300 is the latest in the company's line of compact travel-zoom point-and-shoot cameras
- The S9300 combines an 18x optical zoom, 3-inch high resolution screen, and backside-illuminated 16-megapixel CMOS image sensor in a body that is no thicker than your average compact camera.

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

Nikon Coolpix S9300 review
Back in 2006, Panasonic introduced the digital travel zoom compact camera with its Lumix DMC-TZ1 . Ever since, travel zooms have acquired increasingly longer zooms and ever smaller bodies.

Keen to establish a foothold in the travel zoom market, Nikon has launched the Coolpix S9300, which replaces the year-old Nikon Coolpix S9100 and competes with the new Panasonic TZ30 (and its predecessor the TZ20) and the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS.

Nikon Coolpix S9300 review
Like its predecessor, the Coolpix S9300 is designed for anyone who wants a long-zoom camera that's exceptionally easy to operate. When you remove the S9100's top-notch image quality and the decent battery life from the equation, however, the Coolpix S9300 becomes a far less commendable camera.

Nikon Coolpix S9300
Nikon's travel zoom range was late to the fold compared to the competition and it has been a slower upturn for the company's S9000-series. Yet the latest Coolpix S9300 has a specification that more closely resembles much of the competition.
Pros:
- Big zoom range
- build quality
- decent LCD screen
Cons:
- No manual modes
- shorter zoom than competitors
- limited battery life
- poorer image quality than its predecessor
- shutter lag
