Ready for Extreme Adventure: The AW100 is The First Nikon Coolpix Built To Challenge The Elements
"Today, Nikon Inc. announced the new COOLPIX AW100, a camera that can stand up to the rigorous expectations of those with an appetite for adventure who demand incredible image quality"
Digital Compact Camera Nikon COOLPIX AW100/AW100s
"Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the AW100/AW100s, the first model in Nikon's new COOLPIX AW series of compact digital cameras suited not only to normal shooting situations, but also equipped with a number of features and functions that make them fun to use in a variety of outdoor situations."

Coolpix AW100 review at NeoCamera
"... it is good to hear that the AW100 actually offers great image quality among rugged digital cameras. Noise levels are a little high as is noise-reduction softness but those are not easily seen in common print sizes up to ISO 800. Metering is probably the major downside, since more EC adjustments are needed than usual." |
Coolpix AW100 review at ePhotozine
"The Coolpix AW100 is remarkably good for Nikon's first venture into the rugged camera market. Its main strength is its range of features. Not only is is waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof, it comes with built-in GPS, full 1080p HD video recording and much more. Although one of the more expensive rugged cameras available, the camera produces good images and videos and therefore takes its place in our Top 7 Cameras For Active Photographers." |
Coolpix AW100 review at PhotographyBLOG
"The camera element of the AW100 only produces so-so image quality, being geared more towards point-and-shoot users who will mainly use it in good lighting conditions. Noise at slow ISO speeds, light fall-off and inconsistent sharpness at the edge of the frame, and a poor night mode contribute to merely adequate photographs from the AW100." |
Coolpix AW100 review at DigitalCameraInfo
"But the Coolpix AW100 will still rank the highest of this year’s rugged cameras, thanks almost entirely to the lens. Chromatic aberration is minimal in shots captured with the AW100, and sharpness is retained all the way to the edge of the frame, an advantage for landscape shooting." |

Nikon Coolpix L23 Overheating Issue- PhotographyBLOG
"Nikon U.S.A. has issued a service notice to owners of the Nikon Coolpix L23 digital compact camera. The company says that “in some rare cases, when the batteries are inserted, or the AC Adapter EH-65A is connected, even with the camera turned off, excessive heat is generated in the top portion of the camera, which sometimes causes the top cover to become deformed”." |
Coolpix L23 review at ePhotozine
"If you are a photography begiiner or are looking to buy a present for a child then the Nikon Coolpix L23 is good value for money. Many competitors in this price range only offer a 3x optical zoom rather than the 5x offered by the Coolpix L23. The auto modes make taking images simple and the settings available are not going to complicate matters." |
Coolpix L23 review at PhotographyBLOG
"For the price, it's a decent build, it does everything for you and has a lot of over-riding functions to take the pain out of photography if all you need is a point and shooter." |
Coolpix L24 review at CameraLabs
"While the competition, namely Canon, has added exciting new features to its 2011 budget models, Nikon seems content to merely increase the sensor resolution. This might be a worthwhile strategy if it weren't for the fact that the image quality appears to have suffered as a result. Ultimately there are better models out there." |

Coolpix L120 review at PhotographyBLOG
"The image quality of the Nikon Coolpix L120 is best described as good rather than outstanding, especially if you don't plan on making big prints. The highest ISO speeds are really only usable for Web display - and even that might be a stretch in some cases - but ISO 800 is perfectly adequate for the kind of small prints most target users will be making." |
Coolpix L120 review at DigitalReview
"Image quality from the L120's Nikkor lens falls within expectations, with some corner softness especially at wide-angle which is common to many point and shoot cameras. When shooting at the telephoto end, images did appear a bit softer, although this will not be as noticeable when printing regular sized prints or for online use." |
Coolpix L120 review at ePhotozine
"Image quality is generally very good under good lighting, and respectable under poor lighting, although you will need to be aware that using the full optical zoom you will not always be able to hand-hold the camera, and a tripod is recommended to get the best out of it." |
Coolpix L120 review at Imaging-Resource
"The Nikon L120 is a good people and pet recorder with effective face recognition and automatic shutter settings. Burgeoning photographers in search of peak image and video quality, however, will be better served by some slightly more expensive alternatives, but for the budget photographer, we think the Nikon L120 will do well enough." |

Nikon’s New High Performance COOLPIX P300 Overcomes Creative Constraints In Even The Most Challenging Lighting Conditions

"Nikon’s new FSB-8 digital camera bracket has been specifically designed to connect the new Nikon Coolpix P300 digital compact camera with the manufacturer’s range of Fieldscopes, spotting scopes and EZ Micro products." |
Coolpix P300 review at ePhotozine
"The P300 also betters the S95 in the area of ergonomics, by providing a rubber front and back grip while the S95 provides none, and is particularly slippery. And above everything else, the Nikon Coolpix P300 comes in as the newest camera, with the lowest price of the competitors, and is therefore Highly Recommended!" |
Panasonic LX5 vs Canon S95 vs Nikon P300 at ePhotozine
"The Nikon Coolpix P300 with smaller sensor produces good results, better than some expected thanks to the backlit CMOS sensor, and extremely rapid performance in the form of 8fps shooting, high speed video and full HD video recording, and is therefore Highly Recommended (and a close second)." |
Coolpix P300 review at PhotographyBLOG
"More serious is the physically smaller sensor, which produces noise-free images at ISO 160-200 but starts to fall apart at ISO 400, getting progressively worse as you go up range. The fast F/1.8 lens will partly make up for this, allowing you to use a lower ISO speed, but only at the wide-angle focal lengths, with the maximum aperture quickly becoming slower until you hit a disappointing F/4.9 at 100mm telephoto. The P300's overall image quality is pleasing, but simply not as good as it's rivals." |
Coolpix P300 (brief) comments by Bob Krist
"I'll post the specs at the end of this entry, but everyone wants to know how it stacks up against the closest competitor, the Canon S95. The answer, in short, is pretty well." |
Coolpix P300 review at PhotoRadar
"In particular, we were most impressed with its stellar performance at higher sensitivities, deftly taming noise right through the range, with distortion only becoming an issue at ISO 3200. Colours diluted only ever so slightly and details merged at this sensitivity, but certainly nothing worse than what we've witnessed on cheaper compact cameras at around the IS0 800 mark." |
Coolpix P300 review at WhatDigitalCamera
"For a true high-end premium compact you'd be better to look elsewhere, as the P300 is more an advanced model for enthusiasts that want good but not absolute control." |
Coolpix P300 review at DPReview
"The P300 might look a lot like them, but it just doesn't quite match up. Whether or not you care about the smaller sensor, dearth of custom options and lack of RAW depends on your priorities as a photographer, but we suspect that a lot of enthusiasts will share our disappointment that Nikon hasn't taken the opportunity with the P300 to create a true S95/XZ-1/LX5 competitor." |
Coolpix P300 review at TrustedReviews
"Overall though, if you’re on the lookout for a stylish compact with DSLR-like control and some interesting shooting features, the P300 deserves to be on your shortlist." |
P300 review by Thom Hogan
"I really wanted to like the P300. Right size, fast 24mm lens, no frills and gimmicks, good price. But it's not a compact I tend to reach for in practice. The small things all start adding up: very small sensor, no raw, rapid loss of aperture while zooming, small battery, the list seems to go on a bit too much." |
Coolpix P300 review at DigitalCameraReview
"...still image quality remains good, video is fairly good and no matter what the stopwatch says the camera feels pretty quick when shooting in good conditions. ISO noise performance appears to be a bit better than cameras with similar size and resolution conventional sensors. Overall, despite its flaws the P300 is worth a serious look by anyone contemplating the purchase of a normal zoom compact digital." |

Coolpix P500 video review at InfoSync
"Fortunately, the camera gave us a jolly good show when it came to image quality—not bad at all for a camera in this class. But, we of course feel as though Nikon can improve on the nitpicky aspects we outlined in our analyzation." |
Coolpix P500 review at PhotoReview
"Images straight from the review camera appeared slightly soft, even at ISO 160 (the lowest available) and noise-reduction processing at higher ISO settings made them even softer. Otherwise, performance was similar to the P100, higher resolution notwithstanding." |
Coolpix P500 review at PhotographyBLOG
"Image quality is more of a mixed bag. It's not bad for a compact camera, but the move to a 12 megapixel sensor, despite it still being a back-illuminated CMOS one, hasn't done the P500 any favours. There is simply too much smearing of fine detail in the full-resolution images, even at the lower ISO speeds, with things starting to fall apart at ISO 400 and getting progressively worse as you go up the range." |
Coolpix P500 review at ePhotozine
"As well as offering the most optical zoom currently available on a compact camera, the Coolpix P500 is packed full of other useful features and produces excellent results. Using the camera at its largest zoom will require practice, patience, and possibly even a fully charged spare battery in your pocket, with a tripod likely to prove beneficial." |
Coolpix P500 review at TrustedReviews
"If you're after a truly super, superzoom then you can't get much better than the Nikon P500. It's 36x zoom is quite simply one better than the competition, spanning as it does a range of 22.5 – 810mm (in 35mm terms). With Full HD video, including stereo audio, and a full set of manual exposure controls, it's also a versatile tool." |
Coolpix P500 review at DigitalCameraReview
"The fly in the ointment here seems to be image quality, which looks pretty good when shooting wide angled close ups, but just a bit soft and average when the zoom heads toward the telephoto end of the spectrum, at least at 100% magnifications." |
Coolpix P500 review at Imaging-Resource
"While some zooms underwhelm with their modest reach, the Nikon P500 exceeds all others, allowing you to get closer than you ever thought possible, but have always wanted. So in one camera, you have the widest view you can find, and the ability to crop more tightly than you thought possible. Softness in the corners is to be expected from extreme long zooms, and it does get pretty soft, but keeping your subject in or near the center, especially at telephoto, mitigates the problem fairly well." |
Coolpix P500 review at DCResource
"The P500's weak spot is definitely photo quality. Starting on a positive note, exposures were accurate, and highlight clipping wasn't any worse than other compact cameras. Colors were pleasing in most situations, except in our studio, where everything seemed washed out (I'm guessing it's a white balance issue). Redeye and purple fringing levels were fairly low. Now, the bad news. Despite the back-illuminated CMOS sensor and dual image processors, the P500's photos are soft and over-processed, with lots of detail loss -- even at the base ISO of 160." |
Coolpix P500 review at Shutterbug
"The Nikon P500 offers clean and smooth images up to ISO speed 800. At ISO 1600 and higher some color “clouds” appear in homogeneously colored areas, such as the gray patterns of the dynamic range and noise test chart." |

Coolpix P7100 review at ePhotozine
"It's the kind of camera that you may need to spend a little time getting to grips with, and perhaps even a couple of hours in the manual reading how to get the best from it. Images straight from the camera look great, with bright colours, good detail and good performance at both wide and telephoto settings, with low noise." |
Coolpix P7100 review at PhotographyBLOG
"...the P7100's excellent image quality, thanks largely to the adoption of a sensible 10 megapixel sensor that's physically larger than the one inside most compact cameras. There's no unwanted noise at ISO 100-400, with a little appearing at 800 and 1600 still being perfectly usable, which is a great performance from a 1/1.7-inch sensor and certainly on a par with the P7100's main rivals." |
Coolpix P7100 review by Thom Hogan
"...the P7100 is still a difficult camera to give an unqualified recommendation for. It's bigger and heavier than some of its direct competitors and it's slower at writing raws than those competitors. On the other hand, it produces some of the best looking images out of a small sensor we've seen to date and it handles like a small DSLR." |
Coolpix P7100 review at Shutterbug
"The P7100 offers sharp and crisp images, which are a little softened by the noise filtering. The camera reproduced the ISO 12233 chart with 2158 lines per picture height, which is a good result for a compact system with a nominal resolution of 2736 lines per picture height... The camera shows very clean and smooth images up to ISO 400. In images taken from ISO 800 to 3200 the luminance noise will become visible." |
Coolpix P7100 review at TrustedReviews
"Not only is the Nikon P7100 the equal of the Canon PowerShot G12, in many ways it's superior. For a start it's cheaper, offers a wider focal range, while the LCD monitor is larger and sharper too. Of course it's not perfect; the 720p HD movie mode is a bit measly, the optical viewfinder a bit poky, and while the sluggish performance issues of the P7000 have been improved on, the P7100 still isn't going to win any prizes for speed." |
| Buyer's Guide: Enthusiast raw-shooting compact cameras (including the Nikon Coolpix P7100) at DPReview |
Coolpix P7100 review at DigitalCameraInfo
"To be clear, the Nikon P7100 stands on its own merits. Its score—8.1 at the time of publication, puts it a hair ahead of the Canon G12 and Olympus XZ-1, and not far at all behind the Fujifilm X10 or Canon S100—should make that obvious. But if Nikon can boost the next iteration’s speed and give it a faster lens, it may well be sitting at the top of next year’s heap." |

"What Nikon have done with the S100 is marry a stylish design to state of the art technology. We think that without the new sensor and excellent performance, the camera would need to be priced much lower but it's worth it for what you get." |
Coolpix S100 review at ePhotozine
"The S100 is packed with full 1080p HD video recording and takes 360°/180° panoramics using the sweep method. On occasion there is some vignetting visible, the battery has a short life expectancy and noise effects image quality from ISO 400." |

Coolpix S1200pj review by ePhotozine
"This is the third projector camera from Nikon and is still a pretty unique product on the market. The projector works well and is versatile given that it can also be connected to a computer and an iOS device. Image quality is good for a compact but on the downside, it is quite expensive and bulky, so it's likely you'll only want the camera if the projector is the feature which really excites you." |
Coolpix S1200pj review at PhotographyBLOG
"Noise at slow ISO speeds, light fall-off and inconsistent sharpness at the edge of the frame, and a poor night mode contribute to merely adequate photographs. Video performance is better thanks to the 720p mode, the ability to use the optical zoom during recording and the economical MOV format, although the video features on offer are still somewhat basic." |

Coolpix S2500 review at ePhotozine
"At just £89.99, the Coolpix S2500 represents good value for money although for just £111 you can get the Coolpix S3100 which has more megapixels, longer optical zoom and HD movies. The Coolpix S2500 is very similar in design and performance to the Coolpix S3100 so it is really a matter of how much you are willing to spend." |

S3100 review at ePhotozine
"The Nikon Coolpix S3000 scored eight out of ten when we tested it back in July 2010 and the Coolpix S3100 builds on this by offering a longer zoom lens, more megapixels and HD video recording. Noise performance isn't as good as the Coolpix S3000 but this is likely to be due to the higher resolution and macro mode is also pretty poor. Overall, the Coolpix S3100 is capable of taking good pictures for an extremely reasonable price and with its slim body and fantastic auto modes the Nikon Coolpix S3100 will please many a compact user." |
Coolpix S3100 review at PhotoRadar
"A great choice for those who want a simple, stylish point-and-shoot compact camera. It's a good camera to slip in your pocket and carry everyday, or to take to social gatherings. The Coolpix S3100 produces impressive images that can make great A3 prints." |
Coolpix S3100 review at PhotographyBLOG
"Nevertheless, in summing up, the Nikon S3100 is one of the slicker budget-priced point-and-shoots out there. And, whilst not perfect in every single regard (what is?), for just over £100 there's the sense that for such an outlay you can't go far wrong." |
Coolpix S3100 review at Trusted Reviews
"...this is not the type of low cost camera that would have someone seriously consider moving from one generation to the next; hopefully existing S3000 owners will set their sights higher for their next upgrade, and for those users a high performance compact like Nikon's equally new Coolpix P300 or its rival in the Panasonic DMC-LX5 would be a better if more expensive bet." |

"It improves on its S4000 predecessor with some added features and a new lens, but several areas of performance were a disappointment. Color accuracy remained strong, but noise and stabilization scores saw a significant drop. The wider aperture range of the new lens helps with some autofocus issues we saw on last year’s model, and the new lens also comes with an increase in sharpness." |

"The Nikon Coolpix S6100 is an appealing compact digicam with 16-Megapixels, a 3.0-inch touch screen and a 7x Nikkor optical zoom lens. While this sounds like a great combination, the 16-Megapixel imaging sensor produces too much image noise at all of the ISO settings, and the Touch LCD screen takes some getting used to; along with it being a big drain on the battery." |

"The Coolpix S6200 produces decent images with its 16 megapixel sensor and it packs a 10x optical zoom lens into a very compact body, certainly small and light enough to carry around in your pocket. The minimum focusing distance is large at 10cm, but there's not much else to complain about and it is competitively priced at £179.00." |

Coolpix S8200 review at PhotographyBLOG
"In summary the Nikon Coolpix S8200 improves a couple of major features and adds a few new functions to further improve on a camera that we already liked a lot. Unfortunately it still has some key deficiencies, most notably the so-so image quality especially at the higher ISO speeds, the frustrating need to access the main menu for commonly used options like ISO speed, and the lack of any manual controls for more advanced users." |

"The Coolpix S8200 is a premium Nikon compact camera with a premium price but offers a substantial set of features with excellent handling and image quality to match. Nikon have made the camera small and easy to grip while offering a large 14x optical zoom lens. There are some minor negatives such as occasional purple fringing and the amount of noise at the higher end of the ISO range." |
Coolpix 8200 review at DPInterface
"The camera performs well in terms of speed and image quality. There’s good sharpness and clean photos, though the Coolpix S8200 doesn’t have a knack for capturing fine details thanks to smudging caused by noise reduction. The Coolpix S8200 is responsive and a fast shooter, but the only gripe is the really short burst duration." |

"When it came down to image quality, form factor, and overall performance, we didn't detect much of a difference between the Nikon Coolpix S9100 and Coolpix S8100. In this sense, don't feel bad if you just scored an S8100 and saw our S9100 review with the new big bad zoom. The Nikon Coolpix S8100 is still a great camera, and not far from its replacement." |
Coolpix S9100 review at ePhotozine
"The Nikon Coolpix S9100 packs a frankly huge optical zoom into a pocketable camera body, and throws in a high speed backlit CMOS sensor for great low light performance, a whopping 9.5fps shooting, and Full HD video shooting. Add to that the excellent 3" 921k pixel screen, and you should be onto a winner." |

Coolpix S9100 review at PockeyLint
"The S9100 is something of a sheep in wolf’s clothing; though styled like an enthusiast model, at least in its black incarnation, when you drill down into the feature set you discover a pretty much “auto everything” point and shoot." |
Coolpix S9100 review at TrustedReviews
"For those users who don't require a whole host of features but who nevertheless see the value in a broader than average focal range, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 can hold its head, or rather lens, up amongst the industry leading Panasonic TZ models of this world. The price is fair, and for what's being asked the performance is fair too." |
Coolpix S9100 review at DigitalCameraReview
"Like the Panasonic ZS10 and the Canon SX230 HS, the S9100's low light images are marginally, not magically, better than those of its predecessor. The differences are subtle - so there is no definitive justification for S8100 owners to upgrade unless they can't live without the S9100's 18x zoom." |

"Nikon's Coolpix S9100 is a very capable and versatile compact digicam. Very good image quality and excellent performance combine with a slew of creative features to give you an excellent travel or everyday camera." |
Coolpix S9100 review at WhatDigitalCamera
"There's no escaping that the COOLPIX S9100 is a well specified compact camera that will gather admires in the compact world. However, it falls down in certain departments. The lack of manual control and Raw capture hint at the fact that the camera may well not belong in the advanced category, whilst the plasticky build quality and slow start up serve to affirm this view." |
Coolpix S9100 review at Imaging-Resource
"I liked both the color capture and detail rendering of the Coolpix S9100's images, even at high ISO and was able to make cropped 5x7s without worrying about loss of quality. But the Coolpix S9100 did have trouble finding focus with some rather simple subjects. And digital zoom was glacially slow. Both are minor issues in normal use." |
Compact Camera Group Test: Travel Zooms (including Coolpix S9100) - DPReview
"Picking a winner from such a varied field is very difficult, so we've opted to do the same thing as we did in last year's travel zoom group test, and pick two. The Canon Powershot SX230 HS and Nikon Coolpix S9100 in combination do exactly what we think cameras of this type should. They provide enormous versatility, meaningful manual control, and good image quality, in relatively small, eminently portable bodies." |
Coolpix S9100 review at CameraLabs
"The COOLPIX S9100 is an exceptional pocket super-zoom camera that manages to fit a massive zoom lens into a very compact body. It has sensor-shift image stabilisation which provides up to four stops of stabilisation for hand-held exposures at slow shutter speeds." |
Coolpix S9100 review at DCResource
"Overall, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 is a decent, but not great, compact ultra zoom camera. The S9100's most appealing feature is its value: you get a lot of camera for around $275. While its photo quality is good enough for the point-and-shoot crowd (assuming they aren't cranking up the ISO too high or making large prints), it could certainly be a lot better." |
