Nikon Coolpix S8100 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 10x Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens and 3.0-Inch LCD (Red)

• I bought this camera years ago and loved it. It was pocket-size and portable, so I actually took it places and used it. I believe your eyes see 9x optical zoom, so I specifically wanted a camera with more, and with 10x optical zoom, this camera fit what I was looking for. I ended up breaking it due to using it so much (and maybe sat on it) so even though I now have a phone with a great camera, I was looking to buy another camera like this and can\'t find one in my price range.
• As a long-time Canon user, I opened the box and was surprised at the lack of a dedicated battery charger. I will confess I didn\'t go out of my way to check, and assumed it was included.Since Amazon doesn\'t list what\'s in the box, I\'ll list it here:- manual- wrist strap- software- AV cable- USB to AV cable (aka charging cable)- EH-68P AC-to-USB adapter- EN-EL12 battery- and of course, the cameraEvery Canon camera I\'ve owned for the last 10 years has always come with a dedicated, compact, wall-mount, battery charger with a flip-out AC plug, eg: CB-2LB. The Nikon 8100 came with an AC-to-USB adapter (EH-68P) and a USB-to-miniAV cable, which forces you to charge the battery INSIDE the camera.I don\'t think I\'m in the minority when I say that I generally dislike having downtime on my camera while charging. I also don\'t like having to pop out some plastic/rubberized tab on the camera and stick in a proprietary cable repeatedly, which eventually leads to a broken cable or broken port. What\'s worse -- the AV cable port is on the bottom, which means that your camera can\'t even sit upright when charging -- it has be to be placed on its lens or its LCD. Far from ideal.I completely don\'t understand why this would make sense on an electronic device that has an easily removable battery. Perhaps this could be a cost-savings move on the part of Nikon, but at the point they\'re shipping you an AC-to-USB adapter, they\'re not saving a bundle.Of course, you can buy the Nikon MH-65, which is a dedicated battery charger, but you\'ll notice I didn\'t say \"compact\", or \"wall-mount\", or \"flip-out AC plug\", as none apply. The MH-65 does not mount directly on the wall, but comes with a long AC cord and a slot to insert your battery. Not gigantic, but far from compact, if you include the cord. The MH-61 is a wall mount that was designed correctly (albeit for a different series), but starting with the MH-62 up to the MH-65, Nikon has abandoned the wall-mount capability in favor of an AC cable. Perhaps too many people were electrocuting themselves on the fold-out AC plug? I have no idea.With a compact, wall mount charger, you can pop the camera in one pocket, and the compact charger and buy a spare battery for your other pocket, and you\'re an instant road warrior / vacation photographer / etc. With the Nikon, you\'re now stuck carrying a cord as well, which adds considerably to the bulk. Sure, you can look around on eBay for a generic charger with a flip-out AC adapter, but I would be a bit concerned about the quality of said charger. It\'ll probably be fine, but with Li-ion batteries that can incinerate when overcharged, it makes me think twice about whether or not I\'m willing to trust a generic charger.All that being said, the Nikon 8100 came in at 2/3rd the cost of the Canon 4500 (at least for me - your mileage may vary), and even with the annoyances surrounding the battery charger, it\'s an incredible camera for the size and cost. I would recommend this camera to a beginner who dreams of DSLR-quality shots, but is not willing to put in the necessary hours (and hours) to hone one\'s skills, as well as the minimum ~$1000 one needs to get a decent body, flash, and lens. This is just my opinion, but these compacts are good enough and smart enough to allow a complete beginner to get a better shot in difficult conditions than a beginner-intermediate user with a DSLR.Minus 0.5 star for a noisy zoom lens and antiquated interface. Minus 0.5 star for not only not including a wall charger, but not even making one available for purchase. Overall, 4 stars for an incredibly great camera for the price.
• I spent a lot of time reviewing compact cameras prior to settling on this one.For a long time I\'ve wanted to take the plunge, and get a DSLR, but between suddenly having to buy a new car, then a new computer, gas prices sky rocketing, and now a surprise trip to Switzerland coming up, the budget has been stretched too thin to drop 500+ bucks on a new camera. (maybe in a few years?)So, I wanted a camera that could deal with low light, shoot fast, start up fast, shoot again fast, and be around 200 bucks. This was the only camera I played with that met the criteria. And the more I play with it, the better it gets.First thing you\'ll notice - this camera can deal with low-light like no other compact camera. Sure, a DSLR (who\'s lens would cost more than this camera!) will do a better job... but I managed to get a clear picture at night with no light except for that from a tv on the opposite side of a large room. You can get crisp, beautiful pictures in low lit restaurants without flash (provided little movements on your subjects part) free hand!The fast shooting takes some getting used to. Read the manual, you\'ll learn a bit about the options (still have to figure what the 16 panel speed shot mode is about). The have some great options that allow you to shoot 1mp at 120 fps, or 12mp at a decent rate. There is even the (very useful) option of a slower continuous shot mode. Great for getting a quick series shot, instead of a burst of shots (good for getting a single shot of a quick moment).The start up time on this is amazing. You can have it up, running and zoomed in all the way in just about a second. Shooting won\'t take much more time. Recylce time for most modes is a bit slow, but if you leave your camera on continuous mode, you can get that second shot off almost instantly, provided you don\'t need the flash.The flash is the downside to this camera. At times its a bit bright (so you really have to play with settings). The location makes for awkward shooting (its right where everyone would hold the camera). However, having it raised, and over the lens does reduce red eye. And, if you don\'t want the flash on (I avoid using it on this camera), holding your finger over the flash means you\'ll never be surprised by the flash going off unintentionally.The other downside is the video: It does take good video quality, but the mic picks up the zoom and auto focus. If there is a lot of ambient noise, and you\'re careful about this, you won\'t notice. They also slowed the zoom speed down (to reduce noise?)... but I would rather have it be noisy and fast, just to have access. You can just not zoom, and lock the AF to fix this problem. Also, the set up for switching between high speed etc is not really intuitive, I\'m still working on playing with that.Awesome lay out of buttons: record for video is a hard button that can be used in any mode. You can also shoot stills while recording. I don\'t know why the nav keys can both spin and be pressed.. I actually find it annoying, but got used to it quickly (now I just don\'t spin it all). Everything else is pretty standard.The lens protrudes a little, so this \'compact camera\' is a bit bulkier (the lens also adds a bit of weight) than its peers, but for 10x zoom and the quality of pictures its a fair trade off.So, over all, best compact camera I\'ve seen ... ever. For this price, I cannot complain. Sure, it has a few things that could be better (more control over continuous burst speed, slow down the shot speed on the 16 shot mode, better video setting controls, maybe put the flash 1/4 of an inch to over) but if they fixed all that, it would probably sell for 400 bucks.... and I\'d be tempted to pay that much!
