Past Cam Gallery : Nikon COOLPIX S8100 digi pocket cam

he Nikon Coolpix S8100 is an appealingly simple-to-use yet powerful travel zoom camera that is a marked improvement on the original S8000 in many ways, but its 30mm lens and average image quality prevent us from recommending it more highly.
Nikon are promoting the speed of the S8100, and it certainly doesn't disappoint in this regard. Focusing is on a par with most entry-level DSLRs, quickly locking onto the subject without too many misses. The S8100 also bursts into life very quickly, and the inexplicable 3-second delay of the S8000 has thankfully gone. Other standout features include the excellent high-resolution LCD screen, handy shooting mode dial and the full 1080p video mode, now accompanied by a range of high-speed modes and the very welcome ability to use the 10x optical zoom during recording.
