Nikon Coolpix S8100 Digital Camera (Black) - Factory Demo

Fast. Powerful. Versatile.
10x Zoom. Full HD Movie. High Resolution Display.

The Nikon COOLPIX S8100 combines 12.1-megapixels with a 10X wide Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens, covering 30-300mm. The S8100 also offers Optical VR Image Stabilization, high ISO sensitivity to 3200, and a new flash control system.

Key Features:

12.1-MP CMOS sensor for high-speed operation and low-light performance
The COOLPIX S8100 features a 12.1-megapixel backside illumination CMOS sensor, which enables exceptional image quality even when shooting in low-light settings. This CMOS sensor lends itself to enhanced shooting functions in dark situations, including the advanced Night Portrait mode, which reproduces night scenes and indoor portraits as the user sees them while reducing image blur.

Bright and clear 3-inch, 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor with wide viewing angle
With a monitor that is approximately 1.5X brighter than previous models, the display is even easier to see outdoors under sunny skies as well as indoors where the reflection of lights off the surface of the monitor can be problematic. The crisp and vivid display has been achieved for the large, ultra high-resolution monitor with superior rendering capability through the adoption of a clear color panel. With a wide viewing angle that supports viewing from an angle, the monitor is perfectly suited to both shooting and playback operations.

10x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED Glass Lens
Versatile 30-300mm lens ranges wide to capture landscapes, zooms in to get close to the action. In the NIKKOR tradition of precision optics, the high-quality ED glass lens delivers superb color and razor-sharp results.

Less noise at high sensitivities
The new image-processing engine EXPEED C2, which supports high sensitivities and superior noise reduction processing technology enable the capture of beautiful, blur-free pictures with very little noise, even at high sensitivities. With support for a maximum sensitivity of ISO 3200 at the largest image size (12M 4000 X 3000), users can enjoy worry free shooting even in dark or dimly lit situations.

Lens-shift + electronic vibration reduction (VR) function
Two high-performance vibration reduction (VR) functions—lens-shift and electronic—can be enabled simultaneously. This eliminates the need for a tripod in dark places or at the maximum telephoto zoom position with effective vibration reduction equal to an increase in shutter speed up to four stops, for capture of beautiful photos with hand-held shooting.

Motion detection
The camera detects camera shake and subject movement, and automatically compensates by controlling shutter speed and ISO sensitivity to reduce blurring. This function is also convenient for freezing a moving subject.

Flash control
The camera provides optimal flash control according to shooting conditions. In dark surroundings, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed to suppress blur caused by camera shake, and increases ISO sensitivity for beautiful exposure of background portions that the flash does not reach. When shooting backlit portraits, the camera automatically recognizes the human face and controls flash and focus for beautiful portraits every time.

High-speed performance of the CMOS image sensor maximized with a high-speed continuous auto overlay function
Making the most of the features of the CMOS image sensor, which is capable of processing a huge volume of image data at incredibly high speed, the high-speed continuous auto overlay function reduces blur and noise with a high level of precision.

New technology adopted for Night Portrait mode
This new technology enables capture of bright, natural photos that more accurately reproduce the scene by combining background images captured continuously at high speed with a bright image of the portrait subject lit by the flash. The portrait subject is brightly lit while the ambience of the background is preserved, enabling hand-held shooting of beautiful souvenir photos of a night at the amusement park or at a dimly lit indoor party with friends.

Night Landscape mode for beautiful photos with hand-held shooting
Images captured continuously at high speed with a low ISO sensitivity setting (for less noise) are combined and recorded as a single blur-free image with very little noise. This allows users to immediately capture beautiful night landscapes on the spur of the moment with hand-held shooting and no prior preparation.

Backlighting mode that prevents loss of detail in highlights and shadows
When the HDR (high dynamic range) setting is enabled in Backlighting mode with shooting of scenes exhibiting great differences in brightness, the camera captures two consecutive images at varying exposure and combines the two for a single vivid photo with no loss of detail in highlights or shadows.

High-speed continuous shooting of photos at the maximum image size
Users can enjoy high-speed continuous shooting of up to five 12 megapixel photos with superior image quality at approximately 10 fps (at a continuous setting of "Continuous H"). In Sports continuous mode, ultra high-speed shooting of up to 54 photos at approximately 120 fps, certain capture of decisive moments in the rapid movement of athletes or even pets is possible. The pre-shooting cache is also used to record up to two shots before the shutter-release button is fully pressed.

1080p HD movie recording with stereo sound and the ability to record still images during movie recording
The backside illumination CMOS image sensor enables high-quality recording of 1080p HD movies (1920 X 1080 pixels), even in dark surroundings. During movie recording, optical zoom can be used for flexible wide-angle and close-up recording. Movie recording is made more enjoyable with the ability to capture still images during recording, and in-camera movie editing functions.

An elegant design incorporating functionality and beauty
The COOLPIX S8100 has been designed not only for a beautiful form, but also for superior operation with features such as a mode dial that allows for the smooth selection of a shooting mode and sufficient spacing on the top so that fingers do not interfere with the pop-up flash. The S8100 offers the style, functionality and pleasure that will make it a valued tool for years to come.
