    Nikon Coolpix S8000 Feature Highlights

    EXPEED digital imaging technology
    Nikon's smarter approach to digital imaging technology. From image capture to processing, Nikon's comprehensive EXPEED digital imaging concept encompasses the entire picture-taking operation. EXPEED is much more than a processing engine; it is a revolution in digital photography.

    3-inch, 921k-dot TFT LCD featuring Nikon's Clear Color Display
    The high-quality 3-inch Clear Color Display for the Coolpix S8000 features an ultra wide-viewing angle, anti-reflection coating, and screen brightness adjustment. The vibrant 3.0-inch 920k-dot VGA display offers four times the clarity and detail of standard cameras for amazing image reproduction. In addition, the monitor's structure greatly reduces reflection and improves visibility outdoors for a more vivid, clearer image preview and playback.




    High-Definition movie recording
    Entertain audiences with movies that capture the impact of the scene with HD. The Coolpix S8000 can shoot up to 1.5 hours* of HD movies (720p) with sound at 30fps. HDMI output is also available for easy in camera playback on your TV or computer.
    *Recording stops automatically after 29 minutes. This figure is based on in-house testing standards and stated for recording at 25°C with a fully charged EN-EL5 battery. Actual results may vary greatly depending on factors that include differences in ambient temperature, and the amount of zoom and autofocus operations used.



    Four advanced image stabilization features ensure sharper results
    VR image stabilization in action. The Coolpix S8000's high ISO 1600 capability allows shooting at faster shutter speeds, yielding great results even when shooting in low light or when capturing fast-moving subjects. Motion Detection assists in achieving sharper results by automatically controlling the shutter speed and ISO setting to compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. New advanced flash control enables natural and beautiful flash photos even when subjects are backlit or when shooting telephoto by enhancing ISO sensitivity, rather than opting for slower shutter speeds.



    Nikon's Smart Portrait System with Skin Softening
    As part of Nikon's Smart Portrait System, a series of advanced functions help produce consistently great portraits. The Skin Softening function ensures smooth skin tone on the face of subjects by leveraging built-in face-detection technology. Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Timer helps to faithfully record precious moments by automatically releasing the shutter when the subject smiles. Blink Warning alerts the photographer when it suspects that a subject has blinked, while the Blink Proof function shoots five sequential frames, then saves the one in which the subject's eyes are wide open. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.



    Creative Slider
    The Coolpix S8000 is equipped with the Creative Slider, a fun new way to apply a rich variety of effects when shooting in Auto Mode. Adjust brightness, saturation and color tone using the Rotary Multi Selector. Adjustments can be previewed in real-time on the Coolpix S8000's 3-inch LCD monitor.

    Customers are satisfied with the zoom of the digital camera. They mention that it is incredible for a camera of this size, 10x zoom brings in far away subjects, and the macro is mind blowing.

    Great quality in a small package.
    4 Stars
    Great quality in a small package.
    I got this camera the day it was first available. It has terrific features including: a 10x optical zoom, vibration reduction, 14 megapixels and HD video 780p. All of this in a compact camera. There are many features you should explore including the feature packed Scene selections. I have had many point and shoots and this one is the best overall in this price range. There is a little more noise than I would like in some of the low light photos. You can adjust the settings so it doesn't use the high ISO unless you want it to. Low light photography is much easier with the Vibration Reduction feature too. Hand holding in low light is not a problem-using a flash is now not mandatory indoors.I am very happy.
