Couldn't believe all of the extras that came with the package - what a great deal compared to the big box store price for the camera alone. Still getting familiar with the camera. Plan on using it for our trip out west this summer.

This camera takes brilliant photos, and the close-ups are amazing. But - I found it difficult to hold. Any place that I would normally put my fingers on a camera has something there. Also, I found the on-off button to be incredibly tiny and had to use the nail on my index finger to access it.

So, from starting, I was hesitant to purchase this camera. However, I eventually did, and my opinion of this camera is mostly negative. I am not a photographer, but I am at best a tech enthusiasts. So, anything I write here is my 7 month's experience. I feel this may not be the camera for you.

I purchased this to take on our Alaska vacation, to add to my D7000. I was taking a Nikon 18-300 lens, and did not want to be dragging it everywhere with that lens, but I like to have a camera with me at all times.

Although slightly heavier than my previous Nikon, the S9900 is proving to be a good purchase. However, I miss the "museum" option and Nikon has not provided a substitute feature. Haven't had it long enough to comment any further.

The camera arrived in its own box but was place in a much larger shipping container with no packing; which meant that the product rattled around in transit

I bought this camera last December - not my first Coolpix. I bought it way ahead of the vacation I was planning in July. Took it out for a couple of try-outs and liked the way it handled and the pictures I was able to take with it. So now comes the vacation.
