Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Features
Nikon Silent Wave Motor: A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations—rather than a gear system—to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.

M/A Focus Mode Switch: When fine manual focusing is needed, simply rotate the lens focus ring—M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag.

Aspherical Lens Element: Since the 1960s, aspherical lenses have been an important part of the NIKKOR lens family. Virtually eliminating coma and other types of aberration, every new addition to the lineup provides a new level of contrast, resolution and compact design.

Super Integrated Coating: Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced lens flare.

At first glance the S9100 is slickly styled like a high end enthusiasts’ compact complete with top plate mode dial, sunken flash and stereo microphones. But while there is a smattering of creative options here, it’s pretty much an ‘auto everything’ point-and-shoot model. If you do truly want everything in the one package, what it lacks to make it top dog in the travel zoom stakes is built-in GPS – and possibly a toughened shock dampening chassis – but then again that would add £50 to £100 to the price tag. For those users who don’t require a whole host of features but who nevertheless see the value in a broader than average focal range, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 can hold its head, or rather lens, up amongst the industry leading Panasonic TZ models of this world. The price is fair, and for what’s being asked the performance is fair too.

The Coolpix S9100 is Nikon’s third travel-zoom camera, featuring an extended 18x zoom lens with a very versatile focal range of 25-450mm.

The Nikon Coolpix S8100 also offers a range of special effects, in-camera HDR imaging and advanced Night Landscape and Portrait modes. Available in three colours, black, silver and pink, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 costs £299.99 / €348.00 / $329.95.

A camera maker can judge the success of its market positioning by seeing how many people are wondering ‘which model is right for me?’ on discussion forums – and we think a D3100/D5100/D7000 progression would minimize such doubts. The official line is that the D90 maintains its position in the range, but both its naming and overlap with other models suggest that its role is now more one of historical interest than future significance.

The Nikon Coolpix S6000 is a sleek, user-friendly compact ultrazoom camera with a surprisingly long 7x optical zoom (a 35mm equivalent lens range of 28mm to 196mm). It occupies the middle ground between standard ultracompact point-and-shoot cameras with 3x or 4x optical zoom, such as Nikon’s own S4000, and compact ultrazooms with 10x optical zoom and higher, such as Nikon’s S8000.
