Nikon Coolpix S9300
The Nikon Coolpix S9300 is point-and-shoot camera with a powerful 18x optical zoom lens, a 16-megapixel resolution, built-in GPS and full HD 1080p video recording. It's very easy to use but we found that the image quality could have been better and image stabilization wasn't the best either.
Pros:
- 18x optical zoom
- Easy to use
- Full 1080p video recording
Cons:
- Poor image stabilization
- Sub-par battery life
- Only average image and video quality

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.

Auto focus either center or area is very slow. When in largest photo, takes a second or two before you can take another photo (long store time). Auto smile feature seems to work very well.

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.

- 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...

Nikon Coolpix S9300 Review: Ready to Roll
I've been a street photographer for most of my adult life so I really like compact P&S digicams – they are small enough to drop in a shirt pocket, tough enough to go just about anywhere, they generally produce first-rate images with little effort on the part of the shooter, and they are...

- Compact 18x zoom
- Nice 1080 HD video
- Large

Nikon Coolpix S9300 Review
The Nikon Coolpix S9300 is definite performer. Its 18x optical zoom coupled up with the lens based vibration reduction system allow for great hand-held shots (provided there is enough light). The build quality is superb and for those who like bells and whistles, there's even a GPS chip.
Pros:
- Excellent zoom range with effective stabilization
- Effective Scene modes
- Compact form factor
- Macro mode is very effective
Cons:
- No PASM mode
- No option to turn off in-camera noise reduction
