Nikon Coolpix S8200 - Click image to Compare Prices

The Nikon S8200 / Coolpix S8200 digital camera comes with a responsive 16.1 megapixels CMOS censor and a Nikkor ED 14x zoom and wide angle lens made of glass.

The 3 inch LCD display on the back side of the camera has a very high resolution of 921.000 dots, for easy image shooting and reviewing.

The Nikon S8200 uses a so called backside-illuminated censor. Theses censors have all the circuitry on the rear side. Meaning the front side of the censor has more space to do what it was build for. Capturing light and colors in the best possible way.

The Coolpix S8200 takes excellent pictures any time of day, even in low light situations. ISO ranges from 100 to 3200.

Another great feature is the high burst capture of no less than 6 frames per second.

Coolpix S8200 Lens

The camera is equipped with a Nikkor ED 14x zoom lens which offers everything from a wide angle at 25mm to a great telephoto setting of 350 mm. The zoom range can be extended even further to 700mm by using the 2x Digital Zoom function. But keep in mind that digital zooming in general reduces the image quality.

Aperture setting vary from f/3.3 to f/5.9 across the range of zoom.

The lens also has a optical image stabilization system to make sure you always end up with sharp photographs.

In Macro Mode the camera allows you to take great shots from as close as 0.4 inches using the wide angle lens settings.

The camera will then optimize the setting automatically, to make sure the final picture resembles reality as good as possible.
