The Nikon Coolpix S9300 is an excellent choice if you want a camera that's easy to use, with a sufficiently powerful zoom and a high enough resolution to offer maximum flexibility. If you're looking for a degree of manual control though, it will feel a little limiting.

Few manual controls; Some wind noise on movies, even with noise reduction

The camera is great, the view finder is very clear and the picture quality is excellent on most occasions, there are a few blurry pictures but this is due to the settings I guess, the only bad points I can think of are the battery and SD card cover can easily become undone as the lock clip is easily

Easy To Use; Excellent In Low Light; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Sized Screen; Great Resolution

Bad Battery Life

This camera works well for everything except video. I'm sorry but when recording, zooming in or out is not an option because of the annoying sound that's recorded with the video.

Auto focus either center or area is very slow. When in largest photo, takes a second or two before you can take another photo (long store time). Auto smile feature seems to work very well.

Great camera. I bought this for my son. He loves it and uses it for many HD movies. It takes great pictures and has the speed of a Digital SLR camera.

I was most disappointed. After falling in love with the features of this camera, I found an awesome price, and bought it with much anticipation. I got it home, took 12 pictures, turned it off, to find the flash would not retract. I read other reviews of hardware failures, and decided to return it.

I have Coolpix S9300. Some of the key features of this camera are: the 16.0 effective Mega pixel and 26MB of built-in memory. S9300 uses the EN-EL12 lithium-ion battery as its predecessor. It holds 3.9 Wh worth of energy, which is just average.

Excellent picture quality, but extremely hard to keep still when trying to take a telephoto picture, wavers a lot. Disappointed too that the flash does not retract automatically.

replaced my 9100 with this 9300. a bit more focal range and great quality pics for weddings

Rubber Thumb Rest Added

Prefer Flip Up On 9100

Great all around camera. Size makes it a perfect companion camera. Nikon is top quality and Cameta packages their cameras better than factory equipped offerings. This is my second purchase from Cameta!
