Summary: I am a hobbyist who broke her DSLR and wanted a cheaper replacement. I am very impressed with the quality of photos it takes. I know you get what you pay for, and this is no exception. If you want something nicer, go all out (and pay the money for it), but if you just want a great camera that takes great, detailed images, this is it. I did not expect to be this happy with a downgrade from Nikon's higher-priced cameras. Thank you Nikon.

REALLY GR8 ultrazoom camera
by nfury8

April 5, 2010
Pros: Easy to use, extremely fast and acurate focussing. Brilliant high speed shots.
Excellent battery life, I average 400 photos from half the battery (using viewfinder only)
Brilliant, clear & detailed viewfinder display.
Huge LCD good quality
Cons: Dont like the charge times and the fact it is done whilst battery inside the camera, making it expensive to add another battery as for convenience you would want an external charger.
Summary: In my opinion this camera is an extremely smooth, easy to use with heaps of optional functions.
The zoom is amazing and extremely accurate

The best P&S I've owned is the P100
by Pssequimages
on
May 8, 2010
Pros: Weight--speed of capture~zoom~variable position lcd screen OR viewfinder overcomes problems composing your photo~performance in low light situations~incredible range of shooting modes~panorama assist-smart portrait technology~sport (burst) feature
Cons: Can't capture camera raw & no hotshoe. I will always have my Nikon D200 SLR at the ready, but this little puppy sometimes outperforms it. I have NOT used the movie capture feature yet, but am impressed with all other attributes of the Nikon P100.
Summary: The extreme light weight of the camera challenges the photographer's ability to hold the camera still. The vibration reduction feature, however, is superb and I have turned out very ...

Summary: The extreme light weight of the camera challenges the photographer's ability to hold the camera still. The vibration reduction feature, however, is superb and I have turned out very few unusable images due to camera shake. I like using the fine settings, and have been pleased with the flexibility and the ease of use of the P100. The new mirrorless capture technology is incredible in this camera. I bought this camera for someone else ---but kept it for myself when I saw how it rivaled other cameras I have. I love it!

Camera big disappointment, zoom locked up;
by optobear
on
May 21, 2010
Pros: Camera has many setting; lightweight; good wide angle; good landscape pictures
Cons: The camera locked up 4 times when I used the camera for the first time. As a result the camera would not take a picture nor would it shut off. Eventually shut off but after using it again in the zoom mode would lock up again.
Summary: I have returned the camera. Very unreliable. The zoom although large should not become fixed when used. The zoom locked 4 time when I used the camera on the first ...

Summary: I have returned the camera. Very unreliable. The zoom although large should not become fixed when used. The zoom locked 4 time when I used the camera on the first day. This was in taking about 160 pictures. I also did not like how soft the pictures were when I reviewed them later. I had high hopes when I bought the camera because it had many features that I wanted. I also did not like the fact that you had to charge the battery unless you bought a seperate charger that did not come with the camera. The battery took about 3 hrs to charge. The flap that you lift to charge the camera is very flimsy and I am sure will not hold up and it will seperate from the camera body. Returned the camera after 3 days.

Cons: Have to turn the camera on to view stored images. Flash recharge time.

Summary: I have a number of Nikon Cameras and lenses from N6006, P7900 and l am extremely happy with the P100. It is a great mid range camera for those who want more than a vanilla Point & Shoot but not a bulky SLR. It is compact enough to fit in a small camera bag but packs a punch in terms of features. It does get a bit grainy when pushed to extreme zoom. However, all in all I have been very happy with its performance and I do not miss a DSLR.

Disappointment
by K1060Bambi
on
January 25, 2011
Pros: Great zoom
Cons: Poor photo quality; slow transition between shots with flash; video quality poor
Summary: I guess my expectations were too high. I had had a fuji 10x and was looking to upgrade but the photo quality was less than adequate.

Great camera, if it took good pictures.
by kathywisc

December 30, 2010
Pros: The 28x zoom is super. Menus are easy to navigate. Lots of bells and whistles for a camera of this price.
Cons: I'm really disappointed with the quality of pictures. The only really sharp pictures I can get are in macro.
Summary: I got better pictures with my Kodak Z740! I can't understand the ratings that CNET can give a camera that doesn't take good pictures. Isn't that the ...

Its big number of options gives you complete control.
by R01k
on
August 30, 2010
Pros: Very, very powerful in low light conditions and full HD video.
Cons: The sticky side is the image quality. For a camera of its kind, I'd expect some more.
Summary: If you are interested in pictures quality, maybe you should think it again, but if not, go ahead.

Very Professional Camera!
by houseman16
on
June 6, 2010
Pros: The pros are that the images are very high quality. They came out very good on my computer. I love the HD videos! There are a ton of features to this camera. I recommended this camera for professional photographers!
Cons: The only con is that there is a lot of background noise on videos. A lot of times, the camera will have a pop-up saying there us a kens cap problem. If that happens, take out the battery and then place it back in. It should work fine then.
Summary: This camera is good for people who are on a budget and who don't want to go buy a very high-tech DSLR . This camera is very professional. It is ...

Summary: This camera is good for people who are on a budget and who don't want to go buy a very high-tech DSLR . This camera is very professional. It is good for taking photos all the way from a simple portrait to a very interesting night landscape photo. I also want to point out one more pro. I love the fact that you don't have go out to the store and have to but AA batteries. I love the rechargeable batteries. This a good camera for starters and experts!

Summary: Because of the 26X zoom, I wanted to use it to replace my Panasonic FZ28 & FZ35 which I use primarily for video due to you can't find over 18X zoom on an HD video camera. Also the overall length of video camera make it hard to zoom on fast moving objects, you get a fish tail effect. After trying the camera I found that the photo quality wasn't good. It also has an electronic view finder which works well on my panasonic, however with the P100 when you hit the video record button the image in the viewfinder goes black for at least 2 seconds. When you are trying to video fast moving objects once the picture comes back on in the viewfinder that object has moved and you can no longer see it in the viewfinder. This doesn't happen with the Panasonic camera which only has a 18X zoom and 720p video, but the photo quality is better.
