Coolpix S9200 by DeathByDenim (Nov, 2012)16 megapixels also gives room to go through and crop your pictures later without losing some quality, although I try to frame my shots as I take them.
wide angle lens
Coolpix S9200 by DJ.-Thibado (Jan, 2013)My last three cameras have been Nikon: I can catch a bee sipping dew from a flower with the same clarity I get shooting a panoramic from the High Peaks, or a sunset over the lake.
aperture size
Coolpix S9200 by DJ.-Thibado (Jan, 2013)The quality of these high-resolution pictures can be achieved with other cameras... other cameras will also take fast-action shots clearly, or panoramic scenes... crystal-clear close-ups or breath-taking long-distance zoom photos.

Coolpix S9200 by DJ.-Thibado (Jan, 2013)Few cameras can rival the precision and accuracy of the true colours, though... and to have a camera which does all of the above, uses long-lasting rechargeable lithium batteries, has an incredibly easy menu, fits in your pocket for a weekend hike or camp-out (or holiday road-trip) ... and costs so much less than high-end professional cameras?
max continuous shooting
Coolpix S9200 by DeathByDenim (Nov, 2012)It will take a burst of shots, which is great when chasing a toddler and trying to get one really good facial expression.

Image quality
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 20% by by j (Nov, 2012)On the positive side, night video was surprizingly good.
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 20% by by DAYAS (Jan, 2013)there were too many blurry photos and i don't have any idea on what was causing it.
Photography
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 100% by by DJ.-Thibado (Jan, 2013)My sunsets & autumn foliage have brilliantly sharp colour, and snowshoeing through rime-frost forests at below-zero temps won't faze this camera any more than hot summer days kayaking out on the water.
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 100% by by DeathByDenim (Nov, 2012)My approach to amateur photography is to take a ton of photos, then go through and pull out the few that were great.
Screen
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 20% by by James-Allan--Creative-Director-Ad-Agency (Feb, 2013)Also trying to focus or frame something witha jiggling little tv screen is just stupid.
Focus
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 20% by by j (Nov, 2012)The worst focus I have had ... even from less expensive cameras.
Storage
Nikon Coolpix S9200 | Rated 20% by by j (Nov, 2012)Super "twitchy" function wheel risks erasing entire memory card.
