The Nikon COOLPIX S9050 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 12MP resolution. It offers an ISO range of 160 to 3200 and captures bursts at up to 9.5 fps, making it capable of freezing action in a compact form. Image stabilization is handled by a Sensor-Shift IBIS system to minimize the effects of camera shake during handheld use.
The autofocus system features Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF across 99 focus points, with subject tracking enabled for dynamic shooting situations. The rear 3.0-inch TFT-LCD with anti-reflection coating and 460,000 dots of resolution serves as the primary framing and review tool, as no viewfinder is present. A built-in flash is included for low-light situations.
Video recording is available at 30fps, and output options include Micro HDMI. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The body weighs 215g and measures 104.8 x 62 x 34.6 mm, making it genuinely pocketable.
