Nikon Coolpix S9500 Point & Shoot Camera

I purchased this one month ago. It was very easy to setup. The picture quality is great for normal photography. The 22X zoom is better than any other camera in point-and-shoot category. But the 4X digital zoom is not useful because of heavy pixilation. So if you are buying to shoot wildlife or nature etc., it may not be useful, you are advised to go for digital SLR with appropriate zoom lens.. There are a few things which are irritating-n1. The Flash is on left side on top, and when it pops up, our fingers will obstruct it's pop up mechanism, I wish Nikon had put it in the center above the lens.n2. The stereo mics are small holes on the top side of the camera which again could get covered with your fingers, wish they were facing the front of the camera, which would be more logical to capture all sound. Being on top, they capture mainly the voice of the person shooting, which is not useful.n3. The GPS feature and Compass feature, which interesting are useless for normal photography so maybe S9400 might be better since it's the same camera but without these features and can save some moneyn4. The software for video editing is almost useless, I have still not understood how to use it, while I am not a geek techie, I am fairly IT savvy to learn most software by trial and error. Here I am not even sure how to begin, there is almost no intuitive feature.n5. The Panaroma mode, is only at Infinity zoom, so if you take the digital image and try to zoom in on the image on your computer, you see heavy pixilation.nnBut overall, it is best in class product you can get at this price point.. Most average consumers will not be unhappy with this product. Only those who are looking for some wildlife zooming might be a bit disappointed.

I got this camera yesterday.Its awesome camera...Photo quality is awesome.There is only one probs is that the flash.This camera is no use for left handlers. The 22X zoom is very good.Well its a nikon so dont worry about colors & image clarity.The well-priced Nikon Coolpix S9500 has an impressive zoom range for its size and weight. It has a full assortment of automatic shooting options and can capture HD movies as well as slow-motion clips. Built-in Wi-Fi allows you to directly send photos from the camera to iOS or Android devices.With its long lens and compact size, plus extras like built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, the Nikon Coolpix S9500 is a very good point-and-shoot travel companion.nPicture quality:nPicture quality is good to very good.Detail is very good at its base ISO, By the time you get to ISO 800, subjects start to look soft and flat and colors start to look dull.nThere's a Fixed Range Auto option that will limit you to ISO 125-400 or ISO 125-800; I recommend using the former outdoors and latter indoors when possible.n& Its is a higher end camera in coolpix series now...So guys its a very good camera.....
