expertreviews‘s review Edit

Keenly priced for a stylish camera with a fantastic LCD screen, but photographic options are limited and image quality is below average

ITreviews‘s review Edit

A quick scan of the Web reveals prices as low as £180 for Nikon's stylish 10x ultra-zoom compact, and despite a few design questions the overall handling, performance and image quality should make this a highly popular member of the COOLPIX family.

DigitalCameraReview‘s review Edit

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is clearly targeted toward casual photographers and snap-shooters rather than photography enthusiasts. The S80000 is the spitting image of what consumers expect from the latest pocket picture rocket - it is a super compact, conservatively styled, auto-exposure-only camera that provides all the most popular bells and whistles that casual photographers have come to expect. It's so simple to operate that even absolute beginners can capture impressive images.

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

While it may lack all of the contemporary bells and whistles, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a solidly made and well designed camera that offers a wide range of easy-to-use high-end features and produces reliably good results in a wide range of situations. It is a superb all-rounder and excellent value for money.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a compact, 10x optical zoom digital camera with a very high resolution LCD. Like most 14-megapixel sensors, the Nikon S8000 doesn't capture what last years 12-megapixel sensors did, but it still gets a good image, and can capture 720p high definition movies, in addition to stills in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.

reghardware‘s review Edit

The camera works brilliantly overall. The S8000 was consistently in the top half of the results table for image quality, although its high resolution works against it slightly at lower ISOs, with images coming back a little soft.

Macworld‘s review Edit

Build quality and manual shortcomings aside, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is the easiest-to-use pocket megazoom in our latest test field. It takes almost no effort from the user to capture great images, which casual snapshooters will love.

ephotozine‘s review Edit

In an ever more crowded market for high zoom compact cameras, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff. In this case, the S8000 performs well enough to be suitable for those looking for a convenient compact with the flexibility a large zoom offers for producing good quality 7x5 prints at your local high street lab or at home, or for sharing images on the web.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

A nice design and a couple extra features keep the Nikon Coolpix S8000 from being an also-ran compact megazoom.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a solid entry into the travel zoom market, and easily one of the slimmest and more attractive models currently available. On paper it's also one of the quickest too, but only if you ignore the inexplicable 3 second delay after the S8000 is powered on and can accept the reduced 3 megapixel resolution to achieve the headline-grabbing 3fps burst shooting.

The world's slimmest 10x zoom compact lacks full manual control.

Digital Trends‘s review Edit

Nikon’s S8000 digital camera snaps superb 14-megapixel still shots from a compact, attractive body, but at less than one shot per second, you had better not be in a hurry.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

The Nikon Coolpix S8000 looks the part for anyone wanting a pocket camera with a broader than average focal range that will therefore afford a greater wealth of photo taking opportunities, from wide angle landscapes and group portraits to intimate candids (and close ups down to 1cm) - all while staying rooted to the same spot.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

For those who want plenty of power and resolution without resigning themselves to needing a dedicated bag for their camera, the S8000 is a great compact.
