Nikon Coolpix S9500 Review: Introduction

The Nikon Coolpix S9500 is a pocket-sized point-and-shoot camera that really puts the “super” in “superzoom.” The lens has a mind-boggling 22x 25-550mm zoom lens range (35mm equivalent). Other feature highlights include an 18.1-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor, full HD video, GPS, and built-in Wi-Fi – so you can upload photos to the Internet using your iPhone or Android smartphone. This in-camera Wi-Fi, combined with Nikon’s Wireless Mobile Utility app on my iPhone, made it possible to upload photos to Facebook anywhere with a cellular data or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
