Plus, we realize that shooting from the roof of an SUV, a gondola overlooking the Swiss Alps, or a whale-watching boat in Iceland can get bumpy . That's why we've included a five-way, Hybrid Electronic VR Image Stabilization system with the COOLPIX S9100. It uses sensor shift in combination with electronic stabilization features to minimize the effects of camera shake, so you can say goodbye to unwanted streaky or blurred images.

In-camera special effects that don't require post-shot processing.You don't want to be hassled with post-shot processing, which is why Nikon equipped the COOLPIX S9100 with in-camera special effects. These advanced features help you take shots you've never considered before! You can re-capture yesteryear with the Nostalgic Sepia effect, or try some intricate black and white shooting with the High-Contrast Monochrome feature. This versatile camera also lets you highlight bright areas of a photo with the High Key effect, or highlight dark areas with the Low Key mode. A Selective Color feature boosts the vibrancy of specific aspects of a photo or movie, while Soft Effect subdues harsh elements for a gentler, silkier look. The COOLPIX S9100 even has a Creative Slider to adjust the brightness, intensity and hue of an image. Convenient featuresWhen traveling on an exotic adventure, you can't afford missed photo opportunities.

It also offers in-camera Red-Eye Fix™ that automatically corrects red-eye as you shoot and Skin Softening that smoothes skin tones. The COOLPIX S9100 also has Macro Shooting for shooting as close as 1.6 inches.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Battery does not charge through either the USB or a power outlet with Nikon's own charger. If this has happened to you what fixed the problem?**
A: Yes, this is the second time it has happened to me.  I will try with universal charger when I get home or have to buy another battery within 6 months. .

**Q: Does this camera come with a battery?**
A: Good morning,Yes this camera has the battery included with it.Thanks,Stephen

**Q: my camera lens will not retractits a nikon coolpix L320
what do i need to do**
A: Nikon sucks...mine had a lens issue just after 30 days...had to send for repair and it took nearly 2 months to get it back. Then that lens died 9 months later..conveniently out of warrenty...and it would cost $100 to fix it! I bought a Canon...

**Q: does it have a view finder**
A: The S9100 does not have a designated viewfinder.  You simply frame the picture in the LCD viewer on the back of the camera.  There are only minor framing options on the camera and I have found after several years of using this camera that just setting it on AUTO is all that is needed for very good pictures.  But you can play around with some of the settings as well.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this camera!
*by K***R on June 20, 2011*

The best camera is the one you have on you!This is the camera I keep with me where ever I go. It's getting on the large size to just slip in your pocket, but I use a case that clips onto my belt. That gives it better protection anyways. It fits much better to my man-hands than my last Nikon point and shoot and I don't feel like this one will slip out of my hands. It has good grip and a rubberized texture that helps me to hold onto it. I opted for the black which I think looks the sleekest. The S9100 feels solid in the hands, just the right weight.Powering on is fast, it's ready to shoot within a couple of seconds. It is also the quickest focusing camera I've had and in a normal lit room I don't suffer with shutter lag like I did with my old cameras. I've read reviews before I purchase that some were complaining about how fast the zoom is. I actually like that and depending on how much to move the zoom lever controls how fast it zooms. I hate waiting for a camera to decide it's going to zoom after you've held the lever down. I've missed too many shots because of that. It's not a problem with this camera.This is the first camera I've had that has a dedicated video record button. Just hit the button and you'll be recording HD video. There were several modes of video that you could shoot, 1080p, 720p, high speed, VGA, see the specs for complete listing. The high speed was fun to mess with on moving subjects. Just make sure you have reset the video mode once you are done so you'll be ready next time.There are not many manual controls, but that's not what this camera is geared towards. It's a competent point and shoot with some cool extras. You can change the exposure, flash mode and there a macro mode on/off. There are some creative modes the most fun to play with is the selective color. You can choose a color then you will see and take pictures that are black and white except for anything that registers that chosen color. When you rotate the selector dial into the back lighted subject mode there is a HDR mode. The little I've used HDR on this camera, I would recommend using a tripod to steady the camera. I'm still discovering this feature but will probably still use my DSLR for creating HDR photos.The S9100 is a great all around point and shoot camera. It's quick, takes great crisp pictures, packs a 18x zoom lens, shoot HD video, and has some creative modes to play with. I think most users that only want a point and shoot or user that have a DSLR and just want an everyday camera will be happy with the S9100. I've been able to get more clear crisp pictures that I do with my DSLR and if force to only have one camera I would keep the S9100.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera, but you need to use care with super zoom
*by A***T on August 6, 2011*

I bought this camera before traveling to South Africa in May after considering the Canon SX 230 HS, the Panasonic DMC-ZS10, the Sony HX9V and the Samsung WB210. I have a Panasonic ZS3 and it has served me well, but I wanted a longer zoom. While there were a fair number of reviews of the Panasonic and Canon, there weren't as many of the other cameras, including the Nikon. The Canon had pretty good reviews, but the image quality seems to be worse in the recent Panasonic cameras, and the ZS10 was panned by several sites for this reason. One review highly recommended the Nikon:[...]So I bought the camera and took it to South Africa. It was my backup camera and the one I used when I didn't want to carry around my DSLR camera. I got some very good photos and learned some things in the process. First, 18x is a heckuva zoom in a compact camera. When you go to full zoom, it is hard to keep from shaking the camera when you press the shutter. So for low light shots at full zoom, use the 2 sec timer to separate the pressing of the shutter button from the actual exposure. This really reduces blurring in this situation. Second, I found the auto scene select feature frustrating, and did better using the auto mode or selecting the scene mode myself. Third, yeah, at high iso values there is some noise in low light photos, but no worse than the competition and better in some cases. And I got decent shots even up to 1600 iso as long as I didn't try and blow them up too big (5x7 would be ok). Fourth, there may be a little softness in some shots, but many shots are very sharp, especially when you consider the 18x lens in this compact camera.Of course, several reviews came out after I bought the camera and returned from my trip. But those seem to confirm that this really is an excellent camera and under-rated by many of the reviewers on Amazon. Recommend checking out the photographyblog.com review above and the following:[...][...][...][...][...]

### ⭐ A Piece Of Junk
*by F***O on September 4, 2011*

Nikon really goofed this time. The S8100, which I own, is a great camera, point and shoot and you have a great picture. The S9100 however is Junk, it is no longer a point and shoot camera that is fully automatic. You have to decide when the flash is needed and turn it off and on as needed. This is a real hassle for a casual photo taker and not a professional. If you leave the flash down it is off and cannot be turned on by the camera settings, the screen tells you to "pop the flash". It you pop the flash up you can set it to auto, red eye etc. but as soon as you put the flash down again or put the camera in your pocket it turns the flash off and you have to turn it on again and reset the preference again.Now the bad part! This camera is full of bugs and as I have been reading the reviews on Nikon's own website I find that I don't just have a bad camera, the camera is bad.It turns itself off with warning, not as in auto turn off, right in the middle of taking a picture. It freezes up and won't turn off or on depending on how it has shut itself down. The only way to reset it is to take the battery out and put it back in. The picture quality is pretty good but the optical zoom is so shaky that the images are terrible. The zoom lens sticks while out and will not retract, again you have to take the battery out to reset the camera. Sometimes the zoom won't go out but if you take a picture it will then go out.Nikon is coming out soon with a S8200 model. I hope they get it right this time.
