Packing a sizeable 18x zoom into its petite chassis, though it may be crass to describe an inanimate piece of technology as sexy, that's precisely the adjective that springs to mind when prising the Nikon Coolpix S9100 from its box. We had the sleek black body option in for review (with silver and red alternatives available in the UK) for a manufacturer's suggested cost of £299. Deals are to be found for around £249 at the time of writing.At last count rivals included the Canon Power-shot SX220 HS, Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20, Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR, Sony Cyber-shot HX9, Olympus SZ-20 and SZ-30, Samsung WB650 and Casio EX-H30... to name just the tip of the iceberg.
