Coolpix S9900by Nikon
PROS
- The Coolpix S9900 comes with a 30x Optical zoom, backed up by Nikon's 'Dynamic Fine Zoom' enhanced digital zoom.
- It has a very effective vibration reduction system to steady long telephoto shots.
- With the 3-inch variable-angle LCD screen, you see the action no matter how you need to position the camera.
CONS
- There is no raw mode for sophisticated editing on a PC afterwards.
- There is no built in or optional viewfinder; all you get is a non-touchscreen LCD.
- While it has a great zoom, you might find that detail is lacking and the image quality leaves a lot of room for improvement.

The zoom range is perfect for wide landscapes and travel shots, as well as portraits and far-off wildlife or outdoor sports. Thankfully, a hybrid system of lens-shift type and electronic Vibration Reduction is included, which will help fight blur from camera shake, for both stills and video.

Nikon's 25-750mm equivalent is a match for the Lumix and Sony models, but my tests show that's it's not quite up to the same quality as the optics on those models.
