Nikon Coolpix P100

  The Nikon P100 is a great all round camera that is perfect for all situations. The massive 26x optical zoom is incredibly useful for distances shots and the resultant image quality is superb.
To use the zoom you use buttons for zooming in and out and this works fine. It’s actually quite standard but I do prefer the barrel zoom style of the Fuji HS10 (which also has a greater zoom at 30x). The camera feels nice to hold and is very well balanced. It’s a good weight as Nikon use their own battery and this keeps the weight down (compare to the Fuji’s 4 AA battery requirement). The screen is also nice and bright and of a good quality. You feel like you have an expensive camera in your hand.

As with all modern superzoom cameras, there are an array of fun features to play with which have their uses but by and large I use this for point and shoot and the camera works fine for that purpose. The image quality is great and I can print the shots without tweaking them in photoshop first. For the price, this is a great purchase and I recommend it.
