 This is one HOT point and shoot camera! September 4, 2010
William Schlake (Naperville, IL United States)
I tend to read lots of reviews before buying any relatively expensive item. I thought with all the high praise here and rave reviews elsewhere that was a bit over the top. I was wrong. High praise is deserved for this camera, its that good! Can you do better? Sure, if you pay more, lots more. I rarely say it, but this item might not be priced high enough scaring away potential buyers thinking that Nikon cut corners, they didn't. Lots of others did extensive reviews on common features, so I'll focus on a few other things. First, if you buy, I implore you to READ THE MANUAL even if you don't normally read manuals. Its 200 pages and well written, packed with easy to understand how-to. If you skip doing that you'll miss many features you may not otherwise stumble on by accident if ever.
If you're in the market for a HD video camera, stop. This Nikon might be all you need plus you get great digital photographs. It shoots videos in two modes. Lower resolution, and full 1920x1080 HD. The camera comes with software called ViewNX which makes it very easy to transfer both photos and videos to your computer for further processing. You can also do slideshows just with the camera or step through the images and videos. A nice notation feature allows you to make up to 20 second 'audio notes' for images that have a musical note sign (most formats do). You can play the notes you recorded back while the file is still in the camera by just depressing one button. Don't like what you said, delete and try again. This feature carries over when yoy transfer files to a computer creating a wav file with the same file name as the image. Cool!
Some reviews suggest the photos aren'ts as sharp as other 10 MPX cameras. Well, that's subjective. Really depends on your settings. If you mainly want to print out 8X10 or smaller the sharpness is more than enough except for the real diehard crowd. Another nice feature is when you're reviewing the shots you made there's a option to display a Histogram. and overly "hot" spots in the image will blink, in the thumbnail as a warning.
If you have a HD TV that has HDMI input, get a HDMI to USB mini c cable. Not a absolute must, but the quality gets raised to the wow factor for slide shows and HD video playback.
A few other goodies that deserve mention. The sports continuous mode is GREAT if you're into sports, shooting your kids, etc.. It takes a series of stills in rapid sequence, you just push the shutter once and sit back. The result is slow to extra slow motion when played back depending on settings. Hint: if you're into video editing like I am and have decent software, this is a real boon in that you can really expand on this feature. Then there's subject tracking mode. You pick a "target" the camera "locks on" and keeps moving objects focused. Nice!
AF area mode is great for people that aren't that great taking pictures. It can automatically detect and focus on a face. Unlike so many cameras that will only focus on the center of the frame you can manually focus anywhere in the frame. Has smile and blink detection too.
There are a few minor cons. The camera is too big to put in your pocket, a purse for the ladies, sure. It doesn't come with a case, again not a big deal. Two slightly annoying things are for this price range you'd think they would throw in a memory card, no. Still it has ample internal memory. The one real disapointment is it takes a good 3.5 hours to charge the battery. Worse to do it, the battery remains in the camera and you need to use the supplied USB cable. That gets old fast.
Some great features some poor design August 31, 2010

First, I like the 26 mm to 675 mm (26X ) optical zoom, yet why did they create the lens cap off only to turn it on? Then, I really selected this P100 for the variable 3" LCD screen, but it's not as flexible as the 8400 or 8800 smaller LCD screen. So far the features, menu's and control layout are easily accessed and function for me flawlessly. High 1080 video is excellent, but the still images in JPEG have only (3) savings selects low/norm/fine would have been nice to maintain the Extra Fine settings I have on the 8800/8400. In addition, the P100 ISO lowest setting is 160, compare to the 8800/8400's lower ISO setting of 50. The comparison of images saved in Extra Fine at ISO 50 is very apparent in details and sharpness compared to P100's which seem a little fuzzy. Plus, having no hot shoe for accessories such as external flash or bubble level is another demerit, another demerit for no ability to utilize any sort of screw on filter such as UV/polarization or neutral density.
In defense, it has a great lens, lots of zoom here, focus systems are terrific, Video twice..no 3X's better than 640x480 and with a instant video select button. Finally, the shutter release button is very very crisp compared to any digital compact I have had yet.
All for now, I'm keeping it. Gave it only 4 stars for Nikon needs to get a grip on total design.

Great camera August 30, 2010

We bought this camera for taking pictures of wild life without getting too close( birds, wolves, alligators, bears, buffalos, etc). We are not professional photographers but this camera makes it seem as though we are. The menues are intuitive and the results are striking. It is a large, heavy camera ( though not as large, bulky as a SLR), nevertheless, my husband and I are taking it to Italy with us because we know that the pictures will be wonderful with no wasted opportunities. We would certainly buy this camera again.
