(help me please) Hello, thank you very much for the video, I have a huge question, I have this camera and I would like to use it as a webcam to transmit in my video calls, I have seen that other cameras can be connected without problems, all I need is to connect it and see on screen what is seen through the lens. I would pass it to OBS or any other software (I know how to do it), but I have not been able to access it, I have used a video capture device (a very basic one) and nothing, I have used the digicam software but it only lets me take photos but nothing Of video. I connect it by USB, MicroHDMI-HDMI and neither, I have used a nikon software and neither. I appreciate all the information.
planning to get this one online. im wondering if this can be controlled using my android phone.. like, does this one have that feature where i can use an android app to take photos and videos?
I am not much into photography, what would you suggest for Vlogs or movie recording among Nikon S9900 , P610 and D5200. Waiting for your response. Thanks for sharing
Which camera would you recommend between this one and the SONY A5100 for videos? Does the Nikon S9900 auto focus for example if you're in front of the camera would it auto focus?
Hi. Awesome review ... Which one do you think is better this Nikon: Nikon COOLPIX L840 Digital Camera with 38x Optical Zoom and Built-In Wi-Fi or nikon S9900 ? I need to buy a camera for our vacation next week can you please help me choose?
Hello! I recently bought this camera for indoor use and vlogs only having no idea if the camera would be good for that. I'm recently regretting my decisions. What should I do?!?
Hi, I want to buy a compact camera that does not exceed 300 euros, I've been watching the screen is hinged to do selfies. With these features I've only found the Nikon S9900 and Panasonic DMC-TZ57. Is the Nikon is better not? I have doubts with the Nikon S9900 because I read bad reviews about the image quality of the photographs. Is it worth paying 270 euros for this camera or forget the folding screen and look for another? Thank you.
Camerahoarders I noticed in the S9900 because it is the only one meeting below 300 € with folding screen to selfies. But not if looking for a camera with folding screen, I'm missing another camera that has much better image quality. In principle it would be to use you in automatic.
Hey! Great review. How would you compare it with the Nikon P340 in terms of performance & features? I'm a beginner in photography, confused between S9900 & P340.
Could you help me with this question? If I wanted to buy a camera for sports (e.g. cycling, running) which camera would you recommend: Nikon Coolpix S9900 or Olympus Stylus SH-2?
+Mille Lampadine Very hard... you need large sensor camera with fast-aperture prime lens to do this properly. For example any entry-level DSLR or mirrorless with prime F/1.8 lens.
Sam ewyk For youtube buy Canon Powershot N and for indoors buy a large sensor camera - any mirrorless or DSLR will do. S9900 is travel cam for outdoor use.
Subbed. I recently purchased a Canon S120 for my upcoming trip next week. I want to take great day photos and videos, as well as decent night photos (as one can expect from a compact camera). However after doing some video tests I noticed an annoying white noise (filmed indoors), and could hear the ticking of the auto focus in playback. I really want to stick with the S120 but am contemplating exchanging it for the S9900. I did notice at 2.04 in your video there was some white noise. So I'm not sure if all cameras do this? Also, which one do you think is a better choice overall (image and audio qualities)? Thoughts please??
frozenfyre89 Hi, sorry for taking long to reply, I'ver somehow missend you comment... I'm not sure what you mean by white noise at 2:04. That's daytime video, looks perfect to me. I acn't hear any AF in video on S9900. In theory, S120 will always give better results because of RAW mode, but if you don't know how to PP images on PC, you might want to try S9900, it will give more attractive photos straight out of the camera.
Hi! I've watched both of your reviews on Canon Powershot N2 & this one (Nikon Coolpix S9900), and I'm debating which one to get. Which one would you recommend? Which has better video?
Hi. Thank for reply. So could you write to me step by step the set up camera s9900. I am beginer. Never do photografer before. ....Nikon customer service didn't answer me !!! very bad service. I am disappointed.
+Mille Lampadine Well this camera should be able to give you great results if you just leave in in green auto mode. If you want to learn photography start with this camera simulator: camerasim.com/apps/original-camerasim/web/ Play with it for a while then play with your camera the same way. You will soon discover what is what and what setting to use in which situation.
Good afternoon! I'm from Ukraine. I do not understand your language, but despite this I like your reviews. I want to buy compact cameras, to choose such models: Nikon Coolpix S7000, Nikon Coolpix S9900, Canon Powershot S120. With a small amount of money and on the need to choose the cameras, which wakes up to make good pictures. Tell me please, what fotoaparat buy to take good pictures, despite the fact that the Nikon high zoom, it is necessary to fotoaparat that wakes take good pictures? Thank you.
This review sounds like a fantasy. I made the MISTAKE of buying Nikon Coolpix S9000 to replace a damaged Canon Sureshot for which parts are no longer available. Yes the Nikon has a good Zoom, but compared to the Canon, EVERYTHING about operating the Nikon is complicated and illogical. I'm a semi-professional and use photography a great deal in my design work. Buying this camera has been a financial disaster. Nikon's controls are too tiny for normal fingertips and awkwardly positioned. Does the manufacturer not test these products with people.??? E.g., in a dark location, try to find 'by feel' the video button or the flash up release With my Canon Sureshot there was no need to carry a flashlight and wear my reading glasses to run the camera at night. With the Nikon I need both. Maybe this was designed for an octopus as it certainly takes more than 2 hands in such situations. Instructions for using Macro are beyond comprehension. Page 63 of the manual refers to l,p,o and k settings which appear nowhere on the camera or onscreen.
Der Matthes 29min99s or untill memory card fills up or battery runs out is limit for single video on all photography cameras, 30 sec per video is not true.
Camerahoarders Hey, you comment "on all photography cameras..." is not really true. My old Canon S5IS shoots over 58 minutes on 8GB SD card, and maybe more on bigger cards but i have never tested.
Thank you for the review. I'm considering this to replace my old Nikon S8100. The articulated LCD screen alone is a big selling point.
thank you. very helpfu lreview indeed, as I am tired dragging a a heavy DSLR during my holidays. like you said, "the best camera is what always you have with you"
Thank you for not blasting background music or using stupid robo voice. Good review.Thank you.
Thanks for the nice, short review! I think I have decided to get this.
Please compare Nikon Coolpix S9900 vs Sony Cybershot DSC WX500.
I appreciate your honesty with the affiliate links.. will use those if I buy this :)
Hi can you help me i bought the coolpix s9900 i went to update the firmware 1.1 to 1.2 it told me at the end that it update it to 1.2 and ask me to turn of the camera to complete upgrade but when i go to check the version and pres to watch tute version it get stuck and the camera dont do anything anymore,what can i do thank you

Yes, you can take images and videos remotely with app.
Very good honest review, thank you.
Can the camera record in 50 or 60 frames per second as well?
GotToShotUp Only as 50i/60i, progressive is only 25/30
Thank you! Still helpful in 2020! I found one for under $200 and I'll be purchasing!
You still like it. I see them for fairly cheap used
I just bought this camera but it's so Dificult to use How do You record ?? And stop it can u post a full detailed video please thanks
jairoo alvaarez You should read the manual, it's all there.

Plz tell me
I am not much into photography, what would you suggest for Vlogs or movie recording among Nikon S9900 , P610 and D5200.
Waiting for your response.
Thanks for sharing
Nickk Bisht S9900 and P610 are not comparable to D5200 in any way. Buy D5200
+Camerahoarders What would you suggest between the S9900 and the P610?
S9900 is a better camera.
+Camerahoarders Thank you very much!
Which camera would you recommend between this one and the SONY A5100 for videos? Does the Nikon S9900 auto focus for example if you're in front of the camera would it auto focus?
+Lizbeth Cervantes S9900 is nowhere near A5100 in terms of image and video quality. Get the A5100
+CameraHoarders
which would you recommend for people who want to do youtube videos done indoors? this or the Canon Powershot N2
N2 has better video than this Nikon
Thanks for the review, man!
Hi would you recommend for videologging
Hi. Awesome review ...
Which one do you think is better this Nikon:
Nikon COOLPIX L840 Digital Camera with 38x Optical Zoom and Built-In Wi-Fi or nikon S9900 ? I need to buy a camera for our vacation next week can you please help me choose?
iwonabr S9900 is better choice.
Hello! I recently bought this camera for indoor use and vlogs only having no idea if the camera would be good for that. I'm recently regretting my decisions. What should I do?!?
+Lindsi Mac Stop making vlogs in low light....

CraShRPM I haven't used TZ57 and can't comment on that one, but S9900 has reasonably good image quality for what it is.
Camerahoarders I noticed in the S9900 because it is the only one meeting below 300 € with folding screen to selfies.
But not if looking for a camera with folding screen, I'm missing another camera that has much better image quality.

Hey! Great review. How would you compare it with the Nikon P340 in terms of performance & features? I'm a beginner in photography, confused between S9900 & P340.
Harish J'Shekar P340 is step above in image quality
What is it's price and where can we get it in India
I'd love to hear your recommendations on best low light cameras.
+Rourke McGaffin For low light something with big sensor and bright lens, for example Canon G5X and G7X, Panasonic LX100, Sony RX100 mk3 and mk4.
Can i buy now for vloging
+camerahoarders can you mention the maximum duration of recording videos?
+Mahmoud Slah Limit is 4GB or 29:59, whatever comes first depending on resolution.
Could you help me with this question? If I wanted to buy a camera for sports (e.g. cycling, running) which camera would you recommend: Nikon Coolpix S9900 or Olympus Stylus SH-2?
+DutchLiondancer DSLR would be best choice for sport, but between these two i think Oly could be better - it really has very fast auto focus.
Hi How can do pictures with background without focus with this camera??
+Mille Lampadine Very hard... you need large sensor camera with fast-aperture prime lens to do this properly. For example any entry-level DSLR or mirrorless with prime F/1.8 lens.
Hello! Would you say this camera is good enough for uploading to TH-cam and making TH-cam videos??? Thanks
+Luiza Grabow It should be fine.
Thanks for sharing. Is the flash sufficient enough for low light/dark conditions?
I'm planning to use it for travel.
+JASCdmolay Like all buil-in flashes, its enough for short distance 3-4 meters.
is this cam good for indoors and close ups on objects and is it a good cam for youtube?
Sam ewyk For youtube buy Canon Powershot N and for indoors buy a large sensor camera - any mirrorless or DSLR will do. S9900 is travel cam for outdoor use.
ok thanks

¿What are the improvements on this camera over the S7000?
***** More optical zoom, articulated LCD with more resolution, manual shooting modes, better battery life, GPS
Very good video! Congrats!
Hi! I've watched both of your reviews on Canon Powershot N2 & this one (Nikon Coolpix S9900), and I'm debating which one to get. Which one would you recommend? Which has better video?
N2 has better video.
and better pictures?
About the same. And also has more optical zoom.
Does it record video in 640x480 resolution?
+Neck Giraffe Yes
Hi would you recommend this camera for vlogging please
+Abigail Mensah Yeah, it could be good for that, but you will need good light.
Hi again, how does this outperform the S7000? Thanks
David Kelly More optical zoom, articulated LCD with more resolution, manual shooting modes, better battery life, GPS. Image quality is about the same.
Camerahoarders thanks! this helps me decide !
Any microphones that would work with this camera?
There's no microphone input.
straight to the point. Thank you.
The battery can only be charged inside the cam?
stn0505 Yes, but there is external charger to be bought seperately I think.
Hi. Thank for reply. So could you write to me step by step the set up camera s9900. I am beginer. Never do photografer before. ....Nikon customer service didn't answer me !!! very bad service. I am disappointed.

Nikon s9900 or sony wx500??
+Priyesh Sheth On paper these two are identical. I haven't tried Sony but I doubt either would be much better or worse than the other.
+Camerahoarders Ohh I'll probably go for nikon then. Thanks for the reply

9/10 great work thank you

Nice Review. How long can you make a Video? I read in some Forums that just 30 seconds per Video you can make a Video is it right?
Der Matthes 29min99s or untill memory card fills up or battery runs out is limit for single video on all photography cameras, 30 sec per video is not true.
Ok thank you very much!

Odma sam znala da je Hrvat xD,fotoaparat je odličan :)
MUST remember to avoid this Abloody minutes advert I DON'T want before I can watch what I came for.
:(
@Viviana Ngo: Look into Canon Powershot N2 for youtube, it has better video than any you mentioned. th-cam.com/video/9R6c-22sFDs/w-d-xo.html
this or nikon s7000? as nikon s9900 is discontinued.
Sony HX90 destroys this camera. It's significantly smaller and also has an EVF.
Понятно че
thumbs up from me
bad.
Hi would you recommend this camera for vlogging please
Thank you
