Key Features of the New Nikon S8200 Digital Camera
Ultra-portable 14x super-zoom: boasts a compact pocket-size body.
Back illuminated 16 megapixel CMOS image sensor: increases the amount of light that each pixel receives, improving sensitivity and reducing noise for superb performance in any light.
