The Nikon COOLPIX S8100 is a fast, powerful and versatile camera that includes ISO 3200 sensitivity, a 12.1-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and an EXPEED C2 processor.

Underneath its smart, compact body, the S8100 also hides a 10x wide-angle Nikkor lens to pull the action closer. The COOLPIX S8100's 1080p video mode records Full HD video, while the 4-way VR image stabilisation system minimises the effects of camera shake by shifting the lens. Plus, the stabilisation system automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts shutter speed and ISO to compensate for blur.

And that's not all! The COOLPIX S8100 even has a Creative Slider to fine-tune brightness, saturation and colour, and a high-resolution 3-inch Clear Colour display with anti-glare coating to make it easy to compose, view and share pictures.
