Overall, we liked the Nikon Coolpix 8100, and had a lot of fun shooting with it. Outdoors, the Nikon S8100 takes very good photographs with excellent color. Indoors, the camera does reasonably well considering the 12-megapixel resolution and long zoom;...

Lens could be better (sharpness, distortion), no real wide angle, Image smoothing up to 800 ISO, Not many manual settings, No automatic image rotation
