on the short list of what most people expect from a pocket camera these days it's a lot more zoom range it used to be 10 times zoom was a lot than 15 and 20 and now we're at 30 times zoom with the Nikon Coolpix S 9700 I'm Josh Goldman with CNET and if pocket ability a long telephoto lens and modern features like Wi-Fi and GPS and shooting options like full HD and high-speed movies easy pan and shoot panoramas and filters and effects are what you're after you'll want to check this out Nikon also added semi manual and manual modes for those who want more exposure control and photo quality is excellent in daylight good indoors if well late in your subject is still but not great in low-light without a flash because of this you'll want to limit your use of the zoom lens indoors and even fast-moving subjects like kids and pets can be tricky outdoors that goes for most cameras of this type though so more something to be aware of in general a potential deal-breaker with the S 9700 is the flash which is prone to getting blocked and despite being able to bend back can't be fired in that position also while the audio is generally good one of the stereo mics could potentially get blocked or even just rushed over by your fingers battery life is good as long as you're just taking pictures but doing anything more than that will cut things a bit short you can read the full review on cnet.com but this is certainly a very good way to put big zoom power in your pocket I'm Josh Goldman and that's a look at the Nikon Coolpix S 9700
