As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is also often compared to pro digicams, mirrorless, entry-level DSLRs and compacts. The Nikon Coolpix S8000's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix S8100 and the Coolpix S8200) and Canon (such as the ELPH 300 HS and the Powershot S100)
