Overall, I liked the Nikon Coolpix S9. The camera is nice and compact - definitely small enough to slip into a pocket or purse. It operates quickly and takes good shots.
The S9 is also one of the cheaper, high quality ultra-compact cameras that you’ll find. Unfortunately, with the money that you save, I would recommend that you get a spare battery since the battery life of the camera is not amazing. It would probably make it through a weekend vacation, but that’s about it.
