Good versitile pocket camera with all the bells and whistles

Going on vacation and did not want to carry heavy DSLR camera outfit so bought this. After using it for a week or so I it is up to the task. Lightweight, full of features, nice all around point and shoot camera. As far as being a point and shoot pocket camera all its features are easy to use, especially the video option, easier than my DSLR cameras. One concern I had was was the image size. My latest DSLR is a 24 mpix which when I am using it for parties and just family pictures produces a large image, even to manipulate even in PhotoShop.

The 12.1 mpix is more than sufficient for what I need on a vacation.

Just a comment for those who may have vision issues as I do, I am so used to using a viewfinder that using the display to frame the picture takes some practice, as it would with any point and shoot camera.

I had owned early CoolPix Nikon cameras and was not impressed with image quality, so I was a bit reluctant to buy another, but after reading other reviews I felt comfortable enough to buy this one, glad I did, and yes, do recommend it to others.

Small camera, big value

An old design, I bought this one as a backup for my 10 year old S8100 that is showing its age. Great pocket camera for snapshots, Facebook, and Ebay. 10:1 zoom is plenty of telephoto, macro setting for great closeups, and plenty of resolution for online posting.

Compact cameras cannot compete with SLRs for ultimate image quality but neither can most monitors display really high resolution. Great depth of field for product shots. I sell and trade vintage cameras, the S8100 is perfect. Also has usable 720p video that my grandsons enjoy.

Surprisingly tough for a pocket camera, more rugged than the model that replaced it. I've taken more than 25,000 shots with mine and it still works as it always did.

Just the right size.

A first class pocket or purse camera. Takes excellent pictures. The zoom feature is great and easy to use. An excellent choice for a pocket camera.

Replaced Nikon Coolpix S8100 With Identical Model

I bought this to replace that I had Nikon Coolpix That one got too much grit into the lens works. I like the camera so much I decided to keep with the same.

Nice compact little camera the Nikon S8100 Coolpix

Needed a nice little compact camera to carry on the job. Found a nice deal on a used one on Ebay, and found it to be a great little camera that turns out high quality results.

Great camera for vintage photos!

I’ve been loving this camera so far and everything came as listed. The only thing sticking out to me is how the shutter doesn’t close all the way when turned off. However, cant complain at such a good price!Read full review

Nice Nikon S8100 for most amateurs

This is my second s8100 which I have purchased. I dropped my first one and tried several other cameras but for me this is the one I am most satisfied with and it is easy to use. I already had most of the accessories so it was a no brainer.Read full review
