  Nikon Coolpix S9
  By Margaret Brown
  
  Review summary: At $150 less than the Coolpix S8, Nikon's Coolpix S9 looks like a good buy. Although its sensor resolution is lower, at 6-megapixels it is still high enough for snapshots, which will be the main application for this camera. Both cameras have 3x ...
  
  Verdict: The S9's metering system appeared to be very centre-biased in our standard shooting tests and this created problems in bright light with backlit subjects and subjects with central areas of dark shade. Otherwise, the S9 produced images with plenty of ...

  Nikon Coolpix S9
  By Brad Soo
  
  Review summary: Compact and affordable, the Coolpix S9 seems to be Nikon's solution for consumers wanting such a camera. It offers 6 megapixels with an internal lens in a stylish little case. Is this the affordable thin camera you've been waiting for?
  
  Pros: 3X internal zoom lens ; Stylish design ; Good LCD visibility and resolution ; Tolerable (Average) performance ; Nice movie mode ; Good image quality with low noise ; Affordably priced
  
  Cons: Below average battery life ; Limited continuous shooting ; Plastic tripod mount, tiny buttons ; No manual controls ; No exposure info or histograms ; Redeye, corner softness and color fringing ; No movie optical zoom

  Product Reviews: Nikon CoolPix S9
  By Jason Saundalkar
  
  Review summary: Niggles aside, the Nikon produces very good images, complete with accurate and adequately saturated colours. The Nikon also lets you protect your pics from accidental deletion, just like Kodak's C436.
  
  Verdict: The CoolPix S9 is a good compact snapper boasting strong build quality and a sleek design, however its slightly higher than average price tag is a turn off.
