This statement reinforces the fact that, for example, you can adjust neither Aperture nor shutter speed manually, which definitely has its raison d'etre for the Clippers do not want to deal with the matter of photography. Turning on your camera, one of 15 possible scene modes (and 6 different effects, such as black / white) Select and get started .....
Quite so simple makes us the S9100 then not. A little knowledge of photography is also expected in the digital age by the operator. This, for example, with increasing focal length, and the Nikon has a Impressive range of 25mm - 450mm, the light intensity deteriorates F 3.5 - F5,9. The at full zoom, the sensitivity for jitter increases dramatically. This is the sensitivity to light (my recommended setting: ISO 160 -400) should limit noise should be avoided.
If you have these things understood something and also takes into account makes the S9100 a lot of fun! The front Made of metal makes a solid impression and the feel of the camera in my opinion is very good. A bit strange but not unpleasant the location of the release of not (as otherwise usual) is far right is, but mounted only after the Mode Dial. Otherwise Bedinung is very good and as usual just by Nikon and well thought out.
The large display leaves nothing to be desired, is very sharp and can still be seen well even in Brightness.
Compared to the S8000 allows the flash only open manually, which caused by the type of situation Aufklappblitzes exactly under the left "holding fingers" has in the Aufklappautomatik often means gefürt one has unintentionally suppresses the flash and he could not open. By deliberately, manual unfolding Nikon wants to avoid the well.
Also up are on the camera's stereo Microphones for HD video recording. In addition one has a HDMI and a USB / AV terminal. The USB charging cable is also simultaneously connected, the Nikon can also be loaded on the PC, an extra charger is not present, however, the necessary USB cable and matching power cord. The battery should be good for approximately 450 pictures before it has connected to the grid again.
My conclusion: Who enters something on the camera gets a very well-made traveling companion who makes very good / sharp images. The variable focal length is enormous, and is also equipped with DSLR cameras and just one lens is very difficult to achieve / costly. With 450 mm focal length, each camera shake without a tripod that should be kept in mind also. However, one should not compare with a DSLR camera these. I give her 5 stars for the quality of the action and its pictures, the great zoom range (without DigiZoom please) and ease of use. Since I do not movies I can, unfortunately, not saying much, I miss the comparison.
On the web, there are also still good advice for the owner of the S9100, who like to take time half an hour time for their action.
