Camera OverviewNikon Coolpix S9100

The Nikon COOLPIX S9100 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by the Expeed C2 image processor. It covers an ISO range of 160 to 3200, giving photographers flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera's autofocus system uses contrast detection with 99 selectable focus points and subject tracking, making it capable of following moving subjects with reasonable precision.

Image stabilization is handled by a sensor-shift (IBIS) system, supplemented by digital IS for added steadiness during handheld shooting. The rear display is a 3.0-inch fixed TFT-LCD panel with a sharp 921,000-dot resolution, providing a clear and detailed live view for composing shots. Video recording tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 30fps, 120fps, and 240fps — the higher frame rates enabling slow-motion footage at 8-bit color depth.

Nine color profiles are available for both stills and video, including Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Selective Color. Burst shooting reaches up to 9.5 frames per second. The camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, outputs via Mini HDMI, and connects to computers over USB.

It runs on a Nikon EN-EL12 battery rated for approximately 270 shots per charge. The body is constructed of plastic with metal accents, measures 105 x 62 x 35 mm, and weighs 214g. No weather sealing is present.
