best Nikon travel zooms

The S8200 also offers a high-resolution 3-inch screen, 1080p Full HD movies, 6fps continuous shooting and speedy operation.

Whilst that much is standard, less so is a screen resolution that again betters what one might expect at 921k dots, so visibility is clear with it.

Nikon includes their venerable D-lighting system, which is essentially a way to bring detail back into the picture when there's a huge contrast variation.

It has the highest resolution screen of any point and shoot I could find.

The image stabilization helps take sharp photos; I found this especially useful when using the zoom for long distance.

I did not like the easy auto mode and didn't feel the pictures using it were great, but the regular auto mode worked well, and we took lots of great macro photos (you can't use the macro in easy auto either).

I looove a good optical zoom.

Nikon also added a simple 3D photo mode; take one shot, and move the camera slightly to the right, and it fires off a second shot and combines them into one MPO file for viewing on a 3D display.

The zoom is great and pictures still turn out awesome even zoomed in all the way.
