Nikon Coolpix S8000

 

There's a lot to be said for simplicity, and the almost fully automated Nikon Coolpix S8000 ($300 as of June 1, 2010) is the ideal high-zoom option for anyone who doesn't want to fuss with in-camera settings. More-advanced photographers and...

Excellent macro mode ; Slim and lightweight ; Good backlight and underexposure correction ; Very sharp LCD screen ; Extremely easy to use

No manual shutter or aperture settings ; No hand grip ; Flimsy doors and compartment covers ; Video mode allows only digital zoom

With automated controls and simple operation, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is an ideal high-zoom camera for beginners. It's hard to take a bad photo with this model, but you get no manual controls.

Nikon Coolpix S8000 review: Nikon Coolpix S8000

 

Nikon Coolpix S8000

Great LCD; stereo mic; 10x zoom in an attractive compact body.

Poor low-light photo quality; no optical zoom while recording movies; mixed shooting performance; no semimanual, manual modes.

A nice design and a couple extra features keep the Nikon Coolpix S8000 from being an also-ran compact megazoom.

Nikon Coolpix S8000 Camera Review

 

A year ago, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 would've been impressive: a slim, compact 14-megapixel camera with a wide-angle zoom lens, a high-resolution LCD, and a 720p HD movie mode with ...

Nikon Coolpix S8000 Review

 

The Coolpix S8000 is Nikon's first travel-zoom camera, featuring a 10x zoom lens with a versatile focal range of 30-300mm. Measuring just 27.3mm thick, the Nikon S8000 is also currently the World's slimmest camera with a 10x optical zoom. Other key...

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a solid entry into the travel zoom market, and easily one of the slimmest and more attractive models currently available. On paper it's also one of the quickest too, but only if you ignore the inexplicable 3 second delay...

Nikon S8000

 

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a pocket long zoom digital camera with a 14.2-megapixel sensor and a 10x optical zoom lens. Zoom ranges from a not-so-wide 30mm to an impressive 300mm equivalent. Maximum aperture varies from f/3.5 to f/5.6 across the zoom...

10x 30-300mm equivalent optical zoom ; Optical image stabilization ; 3-inch high resolution (921K dots) LCD ; Attractive, pocketable design ; 720p HD movies ; Stereo audio recording in movie mode ; Dedicated movie record button ; Smart Auto Scene mode...

Slightly soft lens at both wide-angle and telephoto ; Left side of our sample was soft at middle focal lengths ; 14-megapixel sensor does not deliver the same detail as a 12-megapixel design ; Heavy anti-noise processing softens detail even at low ISOs...

The Coolpix S8000 made a good first impression on me -- but with a high resolution 3.0-inch LCD that wasn't hard to do. As I shot with it, it kept impressing me -- and that was no easy feat.

Nikon COOLPIX S8000

 

The Nikon COOLPIX S8000 is a 14 Megapixel compact super-zoom with a 10x optical range and a high-rseolution 3 inch LCD screen. It's slim too, at least compared with other super-zoom compacts: indeed at its launch in February 2010, Nikon claimed the...

Slim and stylish with large detailed screen., Dedicated video shooting button., HDMI output., Stereo audio mics., Can recharge from computer over USB

Poor image quality compared to rivals., Poor battery life., No video optical zoom., Lacks manual exposure control

Review: Nikon Coolpix S8000 megazoom camera

 

With automated controls and simple operation, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is an ideal high-zoom camera for beginners. It's hard to take a bad photo with this model, but you get no manual controls.

The 10X-optical-zoom Coolpix S8000 offers a wide-angle-to-telephoto reach of 30mm to 300mm, 720p high-definition video capture at 30 frames per second, and one of the sharpest 3-inch-diagonal LCDs we've seen on a point-and-shoot camera. This camera...

Nikon Coolpix S8000 Camera Review

 

The Coolpix S8000 is towards the top of Nikon's digital compact range, and it was built to go head to head with established cameras like the Canon SX120 IS, or the Panasonic Lumix ZS7. It has a range of popular features, including 720p HD video, and...

Nikon Coolpix S8000 Review

 

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is clearly targeted toward casual photographers and snap-shooters rather than photography enthusiasts. The S80000 is the spitting image of what consumers expect from the latest pocket picture rocket - it is a super compact,...

Easy to use, Compact, First rate optics, Excellent image quality, Very good feature set

No manual exposure capability may disappoint advanced users, No optical viewfinder, No handgrip, A bit pricey

Nikon Coolpix S8000 [Review]

 

Compact digicams don't normally set my bells a-ringing but this one intrigued me, big time.

Then there's the high megapixel count: 14.2 million of the things, packed into a tiny 11mm CCD. This means its maximum image is 4320×3240 pixels — or, as a print, 37×27cm in size.
