Customer Review :
S8100 was worth the wait! : Nikon Coolpix S8100 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black)
UPDATED 1/14/11:
I was hoping to find a still/video camera that would give me the low light performance of my Fuji F20 and also allow me to avoid hauling around a separate HD camcorder. My comparisons show that the low light photos from the S8100 handily out perform my Fuji F20 and by a good margin (which is no small feat considering that the 6MP Fuji F20/F30/F40 pretty much set the standard for low light performance in point-and-shoots). If great low light photos are what you're after, the S8100 is very good (but there is a penalty for this performance as I explain below). However, if you also want great low light video, the Nikon does not deliver. In my two weeks of testing, I've determined that the Canon SX210 is the optimum choice if you want the best balance of low light photos and video.
Here are my observations after two weeks of testing:
NIKON S8100 PROS
-Nice build quality and easy-to-handle design. Feels like a pro-sumer $600 camera.
-Outrageous 3-inch, 921K pixel LCD display --excellent clarity and detail.
-Decent HD video in daytime lighting.
-Powerful flash that provides excellent illumination at all zoom settings (no flash shadow at wide angle).
-USB battery charging in camera (can connect to your PC to charge).
NIKON S8100 CONS
-No manual control except for +/-exposure compensation.
-No brightness or white balance settings for video (versus Canon's excellent custom controls).
-Videos are simply too dark in low lighting (the Canon wins by a landslide here)
-Auto white balance is fooled by compact fluorescent lights (Canon's AWB is more reliable).
-Camera prefers low ISO settings even in low light and this can cause motion blur.
-Significant zoom motor noise during videos (versus the nearly silent Canon SX210 zoom)
-Pop-up flash must be pushed back into camera body before stowing camera in case.
-Camera beep and shutter release sound can only be turned on or off (no volume adjustment like Canon)
CANON SX210 PROS
-Very good low light video, video brightness control really boosts low light sensitivity.
-Very good still photos, camera chooses higher ISO settings to reduce motion blur
-Camera displays its ISO choice when you pre-focus (not possible with Nikon)
-Extensive customization settings for every shooting mode (versus limited Nikon settings).
-Widescreen LCD for full frame HD video display
-Very good build quality
-Pop up flash automatically raises or lowers when you power on/off
CANON SX210 CONS
-Body design makes for tricky handling (no rear thumb grip, smooth surfaces)
-LCD is only 230K pixel (compared to the incredible Nikon 921K pixel display)
-Still photo viewing area is much smaller on widescreen display
-Overall still image quality is slightly noisier than Nikon but only if you're pixel peeping
-Some flash shadow at the 28mm wide angle setting (disappears from 30mm on up)
STILL PHOTO QUALITY COMPARISON:
Photos in good lighting are comparable between the Nikon and Canon. The Nikon has the least noise at higher ISO settings. In low light, the Nikon really shines and if you take photos of non-moving subjects, the S8100 is your best choice. However, there's a penalty for this performance: the Nikon chooses very low ISO settings (and therefore low shutter speeds) to achieve low noise photos --not good if your subjects are moving (you'll get blur). At high zoom, both cameras have to use lower shutter speeds and every super zoom camera suffers from this issue --it's the problem most people complain about when they try out their new cameras. The only way to solve this problem is to either use the flash or set high ISO (something the Canon does automatically) in order to force the camera to select a higher shutter speed. There is no other solution and no camera has yet been developed to solve this problem -it's a compromise of light, optics, and sensor sensitivity in compact camera bodies. For all around shooting, the Canon is more reliable since it chooses higher ISO (and hence faster shutter speeds) to capture non-blurry images. The Nikon's lower automatic ISO "choices" will result in more blurry shots indoors unless you use the flash.
HD VIDEO QUALITY:
Both cameras have very good HD video and excellent image stabilization in daytime lighting. As with most super zoom compacts, focus lock in low light is a challenge but the Canon SX210 is better than the Nikon if you want faster focus lock during video. in reality, the Canon operates more like a dedicated camcorder with all the tweaks and settings you can imagine --credit Canon's long history building camcorders. Unfortunately, the Nikon operates as if video was a second thought feature and there's simply no way to improve its performance since there's no manual control. The Canon's low light video brightness, focus speed, and silent zoom motor make for great video under all conditions. Conversely, the Nikon's noisy zoom motor is recorded in videos and the camera simply can't provide bright, usable videos in low indoor lighting. In low light, the Canon is in a league of its own. If you're trying to video children or pets running back and forth quickly at close range to these cameras then you'll be disappointed in ANY super zoom compact camera you try. The fact is the ultimate, magic "focus anywhere instantly" machine has not yet been invented. However, as an alternative to lugging around a dedicated HD camcorder, the Canon SX210 is hard to beat for convenience and consistent HD video quality.
OVERALL:
I really, really wanted to keep the Nikon S8100. It has superb handling quality, great low light still photos and an impressive 921K pixel display. I have owned several Canon and Fuji digital cameras and have never seriously considered Nikon's point-and-shoot offerings until the introduction of the S8100. However, the Nikon is not a well-rounded still/video camera. It does a few things very well but fails at others. The Canon SX210, on the other hand, is a much better performer at each end of the still photo and video spectrum. The Nikon is great camera to hold and operate from a hardware standpoint, but the Canon simply out performs it when it comes to getting the best quality photos and videos under a wide range of shooting conditions. After months of research and camera testing, no single camera does everything perfectly. However, I believe the Canon SX210 provides the best balance of performance among its peers if you're looking for a pocketable, super-zoom camera to provide both good photos and HD video.
UPDATE: SPECIAL NOTE ON POP-UP FLASH
A lot of people complain about the pop-up flash on super-zoom cameras since the flash is usually located on the top left corner of the camera body and occupies the space where you want to hold the camera. Be advised that the pop-up flash is a physical necessity in order to move the flash far enough away from the camera so that the long, super-zoom lens doesn't cast a shadow on your subject when the flash fires. If you really don't like the inconvenience of the pop-up flash then your only choice is a limited (7X or less) zoom camera or a bulkier SLR-type. If you want a pocketable super-zoom, you'll just have to get used to this flash placement. It may be a minor inconvenience at first, but in the end it's a non-issue and should not be the sole reason you give up on the incredible performance that compact, 14X zoom cameras like the SX210 have to offer.
