Almost everyone enjoys looking at photographs that remind them of special times in their lives. Some think it is impossible to get quality prints unless they invest in complicated equipment that costs a small fortune. Luckily, there is the Nikon Coolpix S8000 which delivers perfect images at a very affordable price.

There are a wide range of automatic adjustment and preference settings on this device. With a simple flip of a switch, lighting and movement issues are under control. It is amazing how many useful and creative features are integrated into this camera that is so small and so slim that it sits comfortably in the palm of a hand.

Though one of them slimmest cameras available, it delivers in true Nikon fashion. Weighing in at just 6.5 ounces and measuring less than five inches, it is easily carried in a pocket for quick access. It is truly unbelievable that something so tiny can produce such high quality photographs.

It features a very impressive 14.2 megapixels which can produce quality prints as large as 16x20 inches. Even photos that are taken at extremely close ranges, as little as one centimeter away from the subject, come out crystal clear with the macro shooting function. Auto-focus and a slew of other specialty settings make sure to deliver the best quality every single time.

Moving subjects are easily captured without the streaking when opting to utilize one of four anti-blur features. In low light, objects on the move can be clearly frozen in time when allowing the ISO 3200 Light Sensitivity and Vibration Reduction functions to work together. To compensate for user instability, the camera is equipped with Advanced Motion Detection that clarifies the image.

To ensure that the quality is always the best it can be, users can implement the Best Shot Selector function. When this is turned on, the camera will automatically take up to ten sequential shots in less than three seconds. From these images, those of poor results will be deleted while the sharpest photos are saved to make sure the memory is well preserved.

A 10x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens is standard on this model of camera. It scopes in from 30mm to 300mm almost instantly to provide incredible close up shots. One impressive feature of this function is that while it focuses a sharp up close image on the subject, it also maintains a quality in-focus wide angle image of the surrounding landscape. This results in amazing photographs with rich detail and super sharp colors.

Beautiful HD movies of of 720p and at 30fps can be recorded with this device. It has stereo sound as well as HDMI output for playback on either the camera, a computer or a compatible television set. Everything can be monitored on the high resolution VGA 3" LCD that has anti-glare coating and allows for quality viewing of photos and videos.

Perhaps one of the more popular features available on the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is the Creative Slider. This is an innovative way to review images and make adjustments to brightness, tone and saturation with just a slide of finger. The results are displayed in real-time on the LCD so that the user can always make sure they get the picture exactly as they want it.
