versatile everyday notches for setting Tired

The concept of this camera is clear: focusing automatic photo and choosing among various prepared for typical situations settings to memory clippers who like once a high-order apparatus were available, are addressed.

This in itself is not a bad idea. There should be a broad segment ambitious Point-and-shoot photographers who also gladly times access for successful snapshots at high resolution and wide variety of lighting conditions a little deeper into their pockets. Rather than deal with aperture, exposure and depth of field, one would rather the child, the dog, grandma in the circus and the impressive barn owl photographed in the zoo and afterwards not fret about Shake, blur or bad illuminated images. Turning, draufhalten, pull the trigger - and be sure the result is okay. Complete the Nikon mean? Yes, and in most cases even quite good.

Manual settings you can not search here, the customer will be referred to this but neither seek nor miss. Who has decided that the undergraduate learning taking pictures for them or neither wanted is it still makes sense, which is in the camera with little effort and a little bit trying in automatic mode or a preset situation hold images that can show the circle of success.

The image quality of 16 megapixels is absolutely fine, just like the great display. The high-resolution three-inch are really brilliant, you just have to live with that the display reaches its full sharpness only in the second round. This goes very quickly and is not disturbing. Compared to other cameras in this segment somewhat homely design is striking. One must here but simply remember that a 14-fold zoom are installed and the housing should still stay reasonably lean. This is Nikon succeeded and the zoom is really a great experience. I was the last zoo not stop to take pictures of animals Details Full Frame, I normally got only as part of the overall picture. The macro function is also available with a fine close-range limit of 1 cm. The optical image stabilizer is a boon, who has a little bit his hands under control, can shoot still passable stable images with full zoom, miracles can stabilize but also cause no. Speaking of hands: with this camera you should get used to it from the start, the left hand to apply like a lying L. Otherwise you blocked every the (per engine!) Outgoing lightning and plays it safe in the long run not good. Unfortunately, it once extended flash no longer sink, except by turning off the camera. This is sometimes annoying, but not serious.

The Full HD video mode provides in everyday use is quite passable results, even with stereo sound. The many effect filters are as always a matter of taste.
Schön is the function for shooting HDR images. One can here set three different levels, which are then assembled camera side into an HDR image (in .jpg format). This looks once not particularly impressive from, but this is normal because as HDR images with necessary image contrast must be reduced again to the possibilities of human perception with the aid of customary HDRI software solutions using tone mapping. These steps arise from the shot with the Coolpix pictures the ever-popular "eyecatching" -Superkontrastbilder.

I am after an intensive four-week test, a very satisfied user of the Nikon Coolpix S8200. The 80 percent shot in auto mode images have almost always fulfilled my wishes as "Oh how beautiful, because I do a pic of" clippers. And if not, then it was 80 percent I the culprit, because I once again had no eye for the truly perfect motive ...
