Nikon Coolpix S9100 Review

The Nikon Coolpix S9100 requires a strong 18 x optical zoom lens and locations it inside a remarkably small body. The Nikon S9100′s zoom lens provides 35mm-equivalent focal lengths which range from a nice 25mm wide angle to a very effective 450mm telephoto, while optimum aperture varies from f/3.5 to f/5.9 over the zoom variety.

At broad angle, the minimum focusing length is 20 ins while at telephoto this kind of climbs to a least 5 feet. In Macro mode, focusing is possible to simply 1.6 ins at wide angle. As you’d probably anticipate on a digital camera with this particular much reach, Nikon Coolpix S9100 consists of Nikon’s hybrid vibration reduction system, which partners both mechanized VR and software processes to combat blur.

You can also restrict the ISO Auto setting to a highest of ISO 400 equal, and within the high speed constant mode the whole ISO range can be obtained under auto manage. The S9100 unfortunately lacks any type of optical or electronic digital viewfinder, and is instead run at arm’s length via a 3 inches LCD screen with anti-reflection layer, five-level brightness realignment, and a greater than average quality of around 921, 000 dots. This means an approx . 640 x 480 pixel VGA array, with every pixel comprising individual red, green, and blue colored dots.

Advanced Night Portrait setting freezes and correctly reveals your main topic with a flash publicity, then corrects the backdrop exposure with minimum effect on sound levels by averaging it away across a number of exposures. Night Landscape mode functions similarly, but with no flash exposure, permitting a brighter image without having blur from digital camera shake or the larger noise levels you would expect from a higher ISO shot.

Backlight HDR mode uses several shots with varied contact with capture a wider powerful range than can be done in a single image. Additionally, there is an in-camera Easy Panorama mode, and a number of special effects filter systems.

The Nikon S9100′s photos and videos are stored in a fairly nice 74MB of built-in memory space, or on Secure Digital cards, such as the latest SDHC and SDXC types.
