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.

Compact and handy... Good item for travellers, bikers etc. who wish to take photographs easily.. However, the camera bag is much smaller for the product..

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.

Looking for a low budget point and shoot camera that gives excellent pictures and superb videos?If yes, then read on... This Nikon coolpix s9900 is an updated version of Nikon coolpix 6500 which I have been using since 2013. This camera gives you high quality pictures and excellent videos.

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.

For a compact camera it takes great pictures. Lots of features.

The only thing I would like to have is a printed copy of a manual, but now Nikon has become a paperless company

Blotchy images when viewing them at 100%; takes away from sharpness and overall image quality; Burst shooting only captures 5-6 images at a time; Weak pop-up flash unit; Higher noise levels than we were hoping to see; Pricey for the image quality
