COOLPIX S9900 (Black)

I love this camera!!! The flash makes all pictures look great! Gives good feel and vibes. Thank you to the Camerastore for providing good quality cameras!

It works well, but is heavier than expected, which I hope means it will last longer and operate better.

This Nikon replaces a Nikon CoolPix S9300 that was damaged when a tornado destroyed my house. I had really enjoyed the previous Nikon, and I like this one even more. The rotatable monitor which saves the screen from scratches and makes taking shots from unusual angles, including selfies, really easy. The addition of shooting modes that allow one to exert more control over photo taking is especially appreciated. In addition to fully automatic, there are program, shutter priority, aperture priority, and fully manual modes. Additionally you can edit the images on the camera, and you can take raw images. The new features make this camera very much like my Canon SureShot SX50 HS (50x optical zoom), which was also trashed in the tornado, and it still fits in a pocket (although a bit more snugly). Images are very sharp. The 30x optical zoom is quite amazing. If you're not at least an amateur photographer, you need to spend some time learning about the camera and using the appropriate modes in the appropriate situations. Automatic mode wants to produce a sharp photo on good light, so if you're taking photos in low light situations, you need to switch to an appropriate mode or your photo will probably be blurry. I also like that you can use it pretty much one handed.

The product function ok but unfortunately the cover of the charging port came off

I bought the S9900 almost two years ago and love it. I have been doing photography for over 40 years now, having started with a shutter priority Konica -- don't remember if it had full auto in those days. Despite the years, I would classify myself as a mid-amateur -- lots of other thing to do in that time. I've been through 4 or 5 Nikon film and DSLR cameras, upgrading from time to time. I came across the S9900 looking for a replacement for a Canon powershot. I had several of them over a 10-15 yrar period and wanted another point and shoot to replace the then current model. I was attracted to the S9900 because of its PSAM capabilities and ability to control more variables. thought I'd use it as the others -- a light weight, small camera for travel and family stuff when I did not want to lug the DSLR gear around Boy, am I glad I bought this camera. I use it now more often than my DSLR. The biggest drawbacks are the weight and size of the camera, it doesn't shoot in RAW . I print my own pictures and process them in Adobe Lightroom. RAW is the best format for doing this. If you don't do post-processing this is meaningless. The camera is heavier and bigger because of the additional features, I guess. It doesn't fit very well into a shirt breast pocket, but an iPhone does, and is the replacement for the Powershot now, but I have a small case for the S9900 and carry it if there is a prospect of picture taking. No bother for me -- it might fit in pockets, but I don't like lots of stuff in my pockets. Flash on point and shoot cameras is way overrated. None of them have much power, and placement on camera, usually on plane with the camera, produces red eye - if you do post processing in Lightroom this is not a problem, but for the snapshooter this can be more of a pain. I use the flash largely for outdoor fill flash and sometimes indoors to get a little more light. Don't buy this if a powerful flash is an important feature. Don't buy any other point and shoot for that matter, or rely on the flash feature on smartphones either. The camera is better indoors than point and shoots because of the PSAM feature. you can fiddle with the fstops, shutter speed, and ISO settings to get indoor shots that you might not get with a point and shoot. This should not intimidate -- the learning curve is steep, and the camera itself gives a lot of clues of what settings can be used -- just like all DSLRs. I've read most of the negative reviews; except complaints about defects and reliability, I attribute most of the negatives to "user error." They haven't tried to learn about or use the features of the camera. Getting blurry pictures of moving objects suggests a faster shutter speeds. Full Auto on any camera can be unreliable on any camera, because the camera does the work and may not choose the right settings for special situations. That's true of any point and shoot. I was blown away by the pictures I took from the very begginning. This Camera is a little big and heavy, but not much. If that's a problem, sue your smartphone. This is a great and versatile camera. Unless you are looking for special features available only on high-end DSLRs, this could be the only camera you will need.

I bought this on Amazon to update from a Coolpix L20 that still takes great pictures. I also own a Nikon D3200, but wanted a small camera that was easy to carry in my purse or a pocket. The camera, when it came, was much larger and heavier than I expected. This takes excellent pictures in the house. Without a viewfinder, I am unable to see what I am taking a picture of outside, unless it is a cloudy day. Within two months, the lens cover was sticking. My husband, who is mechanical, has been able to release it each time, but it is unhandy. The design of the lens cover is fragile, and I have to keep the camera in a case in order to keep it in my purse without potentially separating the segments of the lens cover. The camera warrenty is stated to be for one year. This takes good pictures. Not equivalent to the D3200, IMO, but good. It's harder to keep the focus while holding the camera away from the body, so it takes getting used to. The battery life is excellent if using it only for pictures, but to charge the battery you must have it in the camera. I was expecting a separate charger similar to the D3200. It's too large and too fragile to be the good take-it-with-you-at-all-times camera I was looking for. I'm still relying on the Coolpix L20. All in all, a fair camera, but not durable or convenient. I'm looking for something smaller, lighter, and more durable with a viewfinder option that allows me to compose pictures, rather than guess what I'm shooting toward. I wouldn't recommend this camera.

I have had this camera for several months now and had a chance to use it in a lot of different situations. It is excellent! When I first received it there were a number of features I wasn't too sure about but as I use it more the features in question are great. On several occasions I discovered something that I didn't like but when I actually took the time to read the instructions whatever I didn't like was easily changed. It also took a little adjustment for me to use the view finder as it folds out to the side but that feature makes it easy to take photo's in awkward positions and now I wouldn't trade it. I have used the camera to take some spectacular time-lapse photo's of sunsets and night skies. When using it for night photo's of city lights it is possible to take the pictures without a tripod and yet the pictures are sharp. I have no idea how that works, but it does. It also does an excellent job on video. For a camera of this size to have a 30x zoom capability is amazing. One of the features that really appealed to me when purchasing was it's small size as we travel overseas a lot and getting everything in the allotted space is often a problem. The camera does everything that I want plus some. We are very happy with it.

Absolutely love this camera. It came in pretty good condition for a refurbished digital camera. Only has minor scratches on the body but other than that it operates great. Which is expected for this camera being years old. The picture quality is really good, and I’ve had no problems with charging/ the battery it came with a cord, and SD card would definitely recommend! My new favorite camera, and was a perfect upgrade from the last cam I had.

Una cámara compacta con excelente zoom y el tamaño adecuado para llevarla a todos lados. La mayor ventaja que tiene para mi es el zoom y la calidad de la imagen que, aunque no se compara con cámaras SLR, sigue siendo mejor que la de los teléfonos con los que he podido compararla. Tiene la opción de poder tomar fotos a distancia con la aplicación Wireless Mobile Utility en el télefono y eso permite mejores fotos que con un selfie stick. El cuerpo es metálico con muy buenos acabados lo que le da una imagen de robustez y calidad que es bien recibida. Sigo prácticando los ajustes manuales aunque el ajuste automático sigue produciendo las mejores imágenes. Muy satisfecho con esta compra

El pedido llegó en excelentes condiciones y con 3 días de anticipación de lo previsto. La cámara, a pesar de ser compacta cumple con lo prometido, hace fotografías de mucha calidad, es una excelente herramienta fotográfica, se nota que es un producto de calidad. Recomiendo 100% comprar la cámara e igualmente recomiendo 100% comprarla a través de Amazon.

Muy versátil tanto para foto, por su enorme rango focal, como para video, por su pantalla móvil. Relativamente ligera aunque más pesada que el modelo anterior. Posibilidad de control manual
