Nikon Coolpix S9300
The S9300 is a high-speed, long-zoom compact camera. But is that enough?
Stylish, well-built and easy to use, 18x optical zoom offers plenty of flexibility, Useful/fun high-speed shooting modes, Excellent screen quality
Telephoto reach not quite up there with its rivals, No Raw recording, Image quality not up to that of its rivals

Nikon Coolpix S9300 review
Great 16MP travel zoom features but several flaws
Great zoom range ; Fast autofocus ; Reliable white balance ; High quality screen ; GPS capability
Froze during testing ; Pricy ; Poor battery life ; Some better rivals ; No manual controls
Back in 2006, Panasonic introduced the digital travel zoom compact camera with its Lumix DMC-TZ1. Ever since, travel zooms have acquired increasingly longer zooms and ever smaller bodies.

Nikon Coolpix S9300 review
The Nikon Coolpix S9300 is a pocket-sized holiday camera with an 18x optical zoom
Broad focal range yet compact ; Built-in GPS ; High-class construction
Zoom can be noisy ; No Wi-Fi facility ; Scroll wheel is a tad slippy

Nikon Coolpix S9300
Nikon's travel zoom range was late to the fold compared to the competition and it has been a slower upturn for the company's S9000-series. Yet the latest Coolpix S9300 has a specification that more closely resembles much of the competition. The Nikon...
Big zoom range, build quality, decent LCD screen
No manual modes, shorter zoom than competitors, limited battery life, poorer image quality than its predecessor, shutter lag
The Nikon S9300 is a serviceable camera, in that there’s nothing wrong with it per se, but it’s just not able to keep up with the steep curve of the competition.

Nikon Coolpix S9300 review
The Coolpix S9100 earned among the best overall marks of any point-and-shoot camera we tested last year in PCWorld Labs' subjective tests for image quality. In contrast, the Coolpix S9300 falls squarely in the middle of the pack. Our judges rated its...
Like its predecessor, the Coolpix S9300 is designed for anyone who wants a long-zoom camera that's exceptionally easy to operate. When you remove the S9100's top-notch image quality and the decent battery life from the equation, however, the Coolpix...

Nikon Coolpix S9300
For a camera that is small enough to take anywhere the Nikon Coolpix S9300 has a lot of features packed into it. If you are planning to take a holiday GPS tracking will tell you where you were when a picture was taken. The length of the zoom lens also...

Nikon COOLPIX S9300 review
The Nikon S9300 sits at the top of the manufacturer's S – or 'Style' – range, offering a specification aimed at those looking for a compact for their travels. It impresses on paper, but how does...
Good LCD screen, nicely designed, general image quality good
Sluggish in use, lack of advanced functionality or manual shooting modes, slight issue with fringing and over-sharpening
While the S9300 is certainly a capable compact camera, in a competitive marketplace, the S9300 struggles to stand out. Unfortunately it’s lacking in advanced functionality, while a few image quality and usability issues are irksome. So, while its...
