  • Big 10x zoom; compact size; sophisticated design and construction; highdefinition video with stereo sound,
  • Slow to respond at times; no zoom in movies; variable exposure from shot to shot
  • Crammed with features, the S8000 more than justifies its price tag...

  • Fast to fire up and shoot, Great, 10x optical zoom Intuitive controls
  • No shutter or aperture modes Some purple fringing at telephoto, Smeary screen, Dull looks
  • A well built, intuitive camera with a great lens. Perfect for anyone who wants a reliable point-and-shoot

  • Abstract:  The S8000 is the slimmest camera on the market with a 10x optical zoom, somehow hiding a 30-300mm wide-angle to telephoto lens in its 3cm-deep body. It's also the highest-resolution camera here, offering 14.2Mp at a price where 12Mp or 10Mp is the standar...

  • Abstract:  The Nikon Coolpix S8000 offers plenty of zoom power in a compact body. The Coolpix S8000 offers 14 megapixels and a 10x optical zoom lens. It will fit into a large pocket. Features include High Definition movies, images stabilisation and I like the fa...

  • Robust mainly metal construction, top notch features including technology borrowed from its DSLRs, and 10x optical zoom range ensure the S8000's asking price appears very good value
  • Sluggish write times at maximum 14MP resolution, occasional operational freezes
  • Solidly built and crammed with features, including large zoom capacity and HD video with stereo sound, not to mention very high-resolution photographs, the S8000 more than justifies its price tag whilst suggesting itself as another top candidate for yo...

  • Long lens, Well-made, Good screen
  • Imperfect image quality, Slow to start, Long lens makes it a bit niche
  • The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a compact camera that manages to do something others don't - pack a 10x zoom into a compact chassis.At just 3cm thick, the S8000 is the thinnest 10x zoom compact camera on the planet.The problem with long zooms in compact ca...

  • 10x 30-300mm equivalent optical zoom, Optical image stabilization, 3-inch high resolution (921K dots) LCD, Attractive, pocketable design, 720p HD movies, Stereo audio recording in movie mode, Dedicated movie record button, Smart Auto Scene mode, HDMI o...
  • Slightly soft lens at both wide-angle and telephoto, Left side of our sample was soft at middle focal lengths, 14-megapixel sensor does not deliver the same detail as a 12-megapixel design, Heavy anti-noise processing softens detail even at low ISOs, H...
  • The Coolpix S8000 made a good first impression on me -- but with a high resolution 3.0-inch LCD that wasn't hard to do. As I shot with it, it kept impressing me -- and that was no easy feat. At first I stuck to what I know: Auto mode (or Program Auto o...

  • Abstract:  Compact digicams don’t normally set my bells a-ringing but this one intrigued me, big time.What on earth is Nikon doing with the Nikon Coolpix S8000? A pocketable picture taker that is just 27mm thin and extends only another 41mm when the stabilised 1...
