Remember the Essentials
A memory card is required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase a memory card that suits your needs.
Nikon's COOLPIX S8200 Digital Camera puts ease-of-use and a remarkable 16.1Mp CMOS sensor at your fingertips. This marriage of simplicity and an impressive number of pixels gives you multiple options when it comes to documenting the moments of your life. From carrying the camera everywhere you go, so you're ready when the moment strikes, to capturing incredibly detailed images that are ready to be turned into mural-sized works of art, the S8200 gives you the best of both worlds.
The camera also boasts a 14x Optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens with a 25-350mm (35mm equivalent) focal range. That means you can shoot everything from close-up groups to far-off vistas, and everything in-between. The 4-Way Image Stabilization system works to eliminate camera shake for clear images with optical VR, Motion Detection, Best Shot Selector, and High ISO options. In addition, the 3.0" LCD monitor with Nikon's Clear Color display and anti-reflective coating makes for hassle-free composition and review of all your images.
Along with capturing high-res photos the S8200 also records 1080p high definition video with stereo sound. Upon playback on the big screen (AKA: your HDTV), your memories will both look and sound great. While shooting, the camera gives you the option of using a one touch record button for starting and stopping video capture, allowing you to catch the moment, instead of missing it because you're navigating through the menu.
While the S8200 might be considered a point-and-shoot it definitely offers you a number of options for putting your own mark on things. In-camera effects let you add special masks or filters to your images to evoke a certain look or feel. Smile timer automatically captures a smile, continuous shooting lets you capture up to 5 shots in a second, and Pre-Shooting enables recording of images just before the shutter is released. These, along with the other numerous shooting modes, guarantee a user-friendly yet creative way to capture the world around you.
- Go From Ordinary to Extraordinary
- Catch those summer evening shots around the bonfire, or freeze the action of the winning goal. Fast, responsive and boasting an incredible 14x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens, the Nikon COOLPIX S8200 will help you capture images you may previously have missed. Its 16.1Mp CMOS sensor crisply renders your view of the world-whether low light, far off fast action or sweeping panoramas. Capture sharp, clear photos and Full HD (1080p) movies using Nikon's incredible optics. Spice up stills and movies with special effects, and view everything on a 3-inch, ultra-high resolution (921,000 dot) display
- See What's Possible
- If your old camera never quite captured the moment, the S8200 will! It boasts a high-resolution, 16.1Mp CMOS sensor so you get superb image quality-even in low light. With fast, versatile, continuous shooting modes, you can capture those spontaneous moments shot after shot. Then show family and friends your movies and still creations on the 3" ultra-high resolution (921,000 dot) display. Stylish and compact, the S8200 tucks into a pocket but packs brilliant performance and advanced features
- From Macro to Mountains: 14x Optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED Glass Lens
- Despite a slim profile of approximately 1.3 inches, the S8200 delivers amazing versatility with an incredible 14x zoom (25mm to 350mm equivalent). Imagine creating macro images of a bumblebee in a spring flower, then zooming out to frame a mountain range for a panorama. With the S8200, you can go from wide-angle to telephoto to macro/close-up views in an instant, preserving photos or movies of most everything from grandstand crowds to a stage performer's smile
- Put Your Memories in Motion: 1080p HD Movies with Stereo Sound
- A single photo may not always be enough to recreate the moment; sometimes memories are best shared with a movie. Portable and ready when important things happen, the COOLPIX S8200 lets you create stunning Full HD (1080p) movies with stereo sound at the touch of a button. You'll love its ability to zoom in and out at will-while keeping subjects in focus. Stylize your story with one of various special effects or by recording in 15, 60 or 120 fps for fast/motion effects. Life doesn't stand still; neither should your memories
- Automated Versatility: Easy Panorama, Night Modes, HDR & More!
- Maybe you've wanted to create panoramic photos but thought they were too difficult. Maybe you've tried shooting photos at night but they never turn out. The S8200 takes the guesswork out of shots like these and more with handy Scene Modes at the ready. For sweeping panoramas, simply pan the camera and let it detect and automatically combine images to build a gorgeous vista. Going out at night? The S8200 takes great low-light photos. You can even create amazing HDR shots in-camera. The S8200 does the work
- Discover Your Inner Artist: In-Camera Effects For Unique Results
- Let the artist in you go from ordinary to extraordinary! With a variety of in-camera effects, such as Low Key, High Key, Hard Monochrome, Nostalgia Sepia or Selective Color, your world takes on a new dimension. The S8200 provides you the tools to fashion photos and movies with more than just your great eye-just select an effect and go! For your still photography, bring out your creative side with a fisheye, miniature or even an artistic look. Finally, you can make the kinds of photos and movies you've always wanted to make
- Flattering Portraits Every Time
- Nikon's Smart Portrait System includes Smile Timer, which automatically recognizes when a subject is smiling and releases the shutter, Face-Priority AF, which finds and focuses on up to 12 faces, Blink Warning, Red-Eye Fix, Skin Softening and more
- Steady Even When You're Not
- The S8200's four advanced Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization functions automatically reduce the streaky images associated with shaky cameras
- High-Speed Continuous Shooting
- You'll never miss a shot with the S8200 because it starts right up, has a quick autofocus and shoots five shots in approximately one second at full resolution
- Strength in Numbers
- You'll always get a great shot with Nikon's Best Shot Selector. Press the shutter once, and the S8200 takes up to ten shots and then selects and saves only the sharpest image

I took this on a recent trip to Europe along with my Nikon D300 and was absolutely amazed at the quality of the pictures. The best features are the in-camera HDR/backlight capabilities and the Noise reduction landscape mode. I got some superb shots in low-light conditions that I couldn't get with my D300 without a tripod.The pictures taken with the HDR feature were fantastic. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results.
The HDR and Landscape NR features require you to stand still for about 5 to 6 seconds while the camera takes the extra shots but the vibration reduction in the camera made the shots come out as clear as a bell. I always take two cameras with me on vacation because sometimes a snapshot is all you have time to take. I use my D300 for the more serious shots especially when I have time to put my tripod up. I have the previous version of this camera - the S8000. The S8200 is light years better. I also liked the fact that I could change the ISO, the white balance and the metering.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S8200 Digital Camera (Silver):
Really like the easy focus and especially the 14x zoom. Pictures and color are sharp. Would like to try some of the portrait features.
Don't like that a booklet on features wasn't included becasue I don't have a computer at home to download instructions. I tried printing some of the pages at work but they are easier to misplace that a booklet would be. In fact, not sure where they are right now.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S8200 Digital Camera (Silver):
Love this camera. I have a Canon Rebel T1, but wanted a small point and shoot for time as I live out of the USA and wanted something smaller-not to draw attention to my equipment. I am impressed with the zoom feature and picture quality. It is great for those occasions when you want to grab a couple quick snapshots without bringing along a tripod, a bunch of lens, and the camera. It is an excellent compliment to my Ti and am very satisfied with this Nikon Coolpix.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S8200 Digital Camera (Silver):
I'm not an expert but this camera is awesome at just about everything... even night or low light pics. It is actually able to take pics of stars. Great zoom. Very stable at 14X. Easy to use. Large enough for fat fingers and small enough to fit in a pocket. It's tuff to take a bad picture on auto mode.

Comments about Nikon COOLPIX S8200 Digital Camera (Silver):
This is a fantastic camera for the price! The 16 mp is a HUGE plus, resulting in snaps that are breakthaking in their clarity when enlarged. The in-camera feature are easily navigated and very powerful tools to have on a point and shoot.
If you are needing a great travel camera or just looking for a complete point and shoot, you simply cannot go wrong with this one!
