As it's Nikon you know you can trust it too. They are really good with their products and the support is good too.
The instruction manual is good, I flicked through it but to be honest you don't even need it the settings are that simple. It's great.

The reason I bought this camera because I already have a Nikon D50 (Digital SLR) and so trust Nikon already but I needed something to keep in my pocket all the time. Plus you don't look so much like a tourist in busy areas!
Basic things that I found really useful: - Easy to turn on. - Rechargable Lithium battery. - Loads of different modes to choose from. - Panoramic Assist - 16 shot continuous. - Easy to see screen - Great feel in your hands - Has SD memory card, widely available (already had them for the SLR) - Can choose colour options - Does video - Black and White, Sepia, Vivid.
I can honestly say that by getting this camera I have taken alot of pictures that I wouldn't have got with my SLR. The SLR is great but obviously cannot do film, the colour options aren't as good and its a pain to carry around all the time.
So. I looked at loads of compact cameras. Chose Nikon. Bought it for £139.99 (Jessops), bought the case for an extra £20 (wasn't too impressed by that price) and walked away with a cool little camera.
PROS I liked the fact that you can choose your colour options, exposure, self timer, macro and flash quickly too.
The menus are easy to use and on screen.
It turns on quickly as well. A bonus for something your about to miss!
One of my favourite settings has to be the panoramic assist. I love panoramic photos, this provides you with a small area to the left of the screen with a transparency of your previous photo so you can match it up.
The other thing I love is that it does 16 continuous photos and so for things like someone running it looks great. I also did it when I was playing with my dog, looked really cool!
If you want something that is going to help you take great photos, this provides a hell of a lot of options. You can choose what you are taking a photo of; party, dawn/dusk, night time, beach, snow etc. And
it also has a button (easy access) that switches it straight onto portrait mode.
It does video, the quality isn't absolutely fantastic but it's good enough to capture the moments you want to remember.
It does feel and look good. It's easy to hold, and is metallic silver. I was quite impressed with the way it looks. Alot of cameras have bulky battery compartments and lenses that come right out but thats just going to be an extra bulge in your pocket!
As it's Nikon you know you can trust it too. They are really good with their products and the support is good too.
The instruction manual is good, I flicked through it but to be honest you don't even need it the settings are that simple. It's great.
CONS I was greatly disappointed with the battery life. Probably because I'm used to the SLR having a great battery. This lasted maybe 30-50minutes. So I took it back but it's still the same.
There isn't a view finder which does make it hard to view what your looking at when it's bright sunshine.
Overall I don't think there is much I don't like about this product. The pictures are amazing, the manual settings are easily adjustable, it's quick to turn on, quick to get pictures and change settings, quick to view your pictures. Easy to take with you anywhere, easy to carry! I think it's really great. Certainly a fantastic alternative to a Digital SLR. I also dropped it and it did nothing to it! (just an added durability!)
I would recommend this anytime but would definately advice that you buy an extra battery for it. Especially if you plan on taking alot of photos!
Advantages: very sleek and stylish, no extending focus lens, easy to use for normal photo-taking Disadvantages: too many photo features that are unnecessary for the average person, confusing photo setting features
It was love at first sight with the slim and stylish wave-surface body and the mirror-like surfaces at the sides of the camera, great for emergency touch ups as a girl. It's easy to carry in a handbag. The big LCD screen makes photos easy to view. The response time from the camera is quick so no unnecessary waiting time. Apart from how it looks, it is a considerably easy camera to use if you are not very camera savvy. However, it needs a bit of practice ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Nikon Coolpix S9
A high-quality compact digital camera that packs 6.1 megapixels and a range of easy-to-use functions into a slim, sophisticated wave-surface body, the COOLPIX S9 has the style and capability to let anyone shoot with greater confidence. Featuring a 1/2.5-inch CCD that offers enhanced precision and 6.1-effective Megapixel image resolution, the COOLPIX S9 captures true-to-life color and delivers sharp, fine detail. And because it features a 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens with a 38-114mm range (35mm equivalent), it gives users broad compositional freedom to shoot anything from expansive scenery to tight portraits. The lens of the COOLPIX S9 also features an ingenious "right-angled" design, which allows it to operate throughout its entire focal range without ever protruding from the surprisingly slim body with its wave-surface design that's as attractive to the eye as it is comfortable in the hand. And as the COOLPIX S9 has the advantage of a generous 153.600-dot, 2.5-inch LCD, it not only allows simple composition, but also enables high-quality playback anywhere and supports smoother menu navigation. With a new Stop-motion movie function, the COOLPIX S9 brings a whole new dimension of fun to compact digital photography. As its name suggests, it's a function that makes it a cinch for users to create their very own stop-motion animated films. Users simply take a shot of the models they wish to animate, move the models, then shoot again - it really is that simple! The COOLPIX S9 also makes it especially easy to get great-looking results in challenging conditions with a handy One-touch portrait button that provides direct access to three unique in-camera Nikon image innovations - Face Priority AF that automatically detects and achieves sharp focus on people's faces wherever they are in the frame, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix that can automatically overcome the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash, and Nikon's D-Lighting that can rescue underexposed images or shots with too much back light. What's more, the COOLPIX S9 offers 15 Scene modes that can produce great-looking shots in a wide range of common conditions, with 4 of the modes also offering Scene assist to promote more pleasing composition. The COOLPIX S9 features a handy Date Counter too, which visually records the countdown of days to a special occasion or number of days since an event, as well as a Time zone function that allows the setting of hometown and new city time zones for easy image sorting after traveling. The COOLPIX S9 also comes complete with Nikon's unique PictureProject software. Not only does PictureProject offer a broad range of powerful features for image editing, organizing and sharing, but it also has an interface that makes it extremely easy for virtually anyone to use. PictureProject is also compatible with a range of plug-ins, allowing users to extend their capabilities as the COOLPIX S9 adds to their photographic confidence and enjoyment.
good value, good mode selection, good quality, well built, canon quality, good battery life, good resolution and quality, good manual controls, good LCD
clumpy, clunky design and controls, too big to be a true compact, interface pauses, zoom irritating, not worth the upgrade from G3 (*)
Perfect picture
