The Nikon S9 is fairly new in the game and has been reviewed by the website Digital Camera Review. The digicam was liked for its image quality, its body size and interface and its reasonable price tag. What they didn’t like was the battery life, the loud zoom motor and the tendency of the camera to produce red tones at times!

The S9 has a 6.1 megapixels resolution and has a highly stylized wave-surface body with a chic glossy finish.The Coolpix S9 has some decent specs on it including; a 1/2.5-inch CCD, 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens with a 38-114mm range (35mm equivalent), a large LCD and a host of other advanced features. The S9 also has the new Nikon Stop-motion function which helps the user to create animated films with a professional touch.Some other features found on the digicam include; 20 languages, noise reduction mode, time zone functions, White Balance settings and PictBrige compatibility.

The review concludes by saying "The camera is definitely not meant for an advanced shooter, or someone who wants to tweak settings until they get just the right shot. There are no manual exposure controls, so you’re stuck with adjusting white balance, sensitivity (ISO), exposure compensation, or using the built in scene modes. However, I would still recommend the S9 for someone looking for an ultra-compact camera with some style and an affordable price. The camera is good for snapshots, and the one touch button to access Nikon’s portrait mode with Face Priority AF provides quick access to the optimal settings to capture your friends having a great time."
