  • Summary: I really wanted to like this camera, but ended up returning it. Feature rich, but lacking in performance. Bought the Canon S95.....much better camera and smaller, too.

  • Summary: It only took four months for me to get the Nikon S8100, use it, experience design and quality problems with it, and then find a better value alternative.
  • Pros: Razor-sharp LCD is best in its class, can record full 1080i HD video
  • Cons: Pop-up flash is annoying, slow focus in lower-light conditions, quality issues, poor choice of materials
