 I like it! Oct 04, 2006
By Jilli
I just received my Nikon S9 a couple of days ago.
I am def. not disappointed in it (as of yet, that is).
PROS:
I like that the lens is NOT retractable (it's inside the camera). I've read lots of reviews on all brands of cameras where reviewers complained that the lens gets stuck while sticking half-way out. This is something I don't have to worry about with the S9.
I also like that it's durable. It's not made of plastic, it's very solid. I actually feel like I got what I paid for.
Picture quality is good. You need to hold the camera VERY still while shooting, since pictures tend to blur easily. I've been fooling around with it a lot, and I seem to be improving with my shots (where blur is concerned).
I also haven't experienced any red-eye! Woohoo! They red-eye reduction flash feature really works (so far)!
Pictures could be a little sharper, but the camera comes with a CD that allows you to edit the pictures on your computer, and change the brightness, sharpness, color, etc., of the pictures, and you can also rotate them. This is a plus for me.
The buttons are small, but there are very few of them, which makes it simple to use.
CONS:
Well, I gave this camera only 4 stars PRIMARILY because I bought it from Amazon for $249.99, and then about a week later the price was down to $222.94. I pre-ordered the camera. So 1 lesson I learned was: WAIT UNTIL THE CAMERA IS IN STOCK (AND NOT ON PRE-ORDER). DON'T BUY A CAMERA WHEN IT IS FIRST RELEASED, WAIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS, CHANCES ARE THE PRICE WILL DROP. I'M SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS!
Another con: You really need to play around with the camera if you want good pictures-- especilly where lighting is concerned. It's not a point-and-shoot camera-- for me, at least. The settings are definitely there for a reason (like the scenes, such as indoor, beach/snow, sunset, dusk/dawn, and so on . . . and the flash features as well).
Haven't tried the video or voice recording yet, so I can't really comment on that.
That's about it. In all, I don't regret buying it. Only had it for a few days and I'm liking it more and more (I was a bit intimidated and frustrated in the beginning while trying to find settings that would help me take a good picture).

 Not as good as Canon Nov 22, 2006
By William Levin
"macboy.com"
I bought the Nikon Coolpix S9 as a replacement for my Canon PowerShot S410 because I wanted a lighter, less bulky ultra-compact camera with good picture quality. The S9 was the one of the lightest, and earlier versions of the Coolpix family received decent reviews.
While the camera is light and fits nicely in my pocket, I must say I was not pleased with the quality of the photos I took with the Nikon Coolpix S9. Most photos taken with flash in dark rooms came out blurry and washed out white, and often had lens flare. And photos taken with flash off did not come out as clear as they did with the Canon S410. Photos in normal lighting with flash on came out okay, but still did not match the quality of the Canon.
I'm returning the Nikon Coolpix to Amazon today and purchasing a Canon.

 I hate this camera Mar 27, 2007
By Crazy at the Beach
I have owned this camera for ~6 months and have finally deciced to replace it. I bought this camera to replace another Nikon CoolPix that was stolen from my house. But this one does not have a view finder to begin with and is way more complicated to use. I have always liked Nikon cameras but the S9 just doesn't make it. I can not use it outside because I can not see the LCD screen. Sorry Nikon but you blew it on this camera!!
So I replaced it with a Canon PowerShot A710. What a difference in ease of use and... it has a view finder. also my 1G memory card from the Nikon fits in the new Canon.

Not the best picture quality Jan 12, 2007
By D. Benson
I have a Nikon D70 SLR, but I also wanted something small enough to stick in a pocket. This has great features, but I was not happy with the indoor picture quality; the lens is too small. I ended up trading it in for a Nikon P4, which has been absolutely outstanding.

Good value for the price Jan 14, 2007
By Wendy Mahan
"barefoot alaskan"
I bought this camera for my teenage son. The only problem we have found so far is that the battery life is too short. Other than that, it is a good camera. The slim design is nice, and the camera is loaded with features.
