The Nikon COOLPIX S9200 is equipped with a 16.0 megapixel CMOS sensor for the highest resolution possible because the backside-illuminated CMOS sensor technology significantly increases the flow of light to the sensor’s surface, which greatly reduces the noise for outstanding image quality.

The 18x wide angle zoom NIKKOR ED glass lens (25–450mm) is equipped with optical VR Image Stabilization to minimize blur in both still photos and movies. This camera shoots at 7 frames per second and has ISO sensitivity up to 3200. In-camera features include: Easy Panorama Mode, Nostalgic Sepia, Selective Color, Miniature and even Fisheye.

The full HD (1080p) movie option includes high quality stereo sound, continuous autofocus for moving subjects and two speed control during recording. Movies can be previewed through the large 3.0-inch LCD monitor or playback your movies on an HDTV via the built-in HDMI port. The Nikon COOLPIX also comes complete with a GPS function and compass.
