Even at higher ISOs, the P100 manages to keep the noise down well enough for 4×6 and 5×7 prints." This is hardly a ringing endorsement; in fact if this is truly the best one can say about the P100's IQ, this is an awful camera. $00 to take 5x7 pictures??? At this price, we should be able to take pictures large enough to hang on the wall. 16x12 at least. There is at least one superzoom that will do this: Fuji S100. And Canon SX10is also does a great job. For that matter, many pocket P&S cameras do, too. Less zoom but far better pictures. “The image quality appears to be more than competent for a point and shoot camera.

I am facing some issue with the flash. When flash is used in evening or night(with some light around), the picture becomes dark as if the flash light is too sharp. In dim lights pictures without flash looks better than those clicked with flash on. any clue how to handle this. bought 15 days back. I am facing some issue with the flash.

I have tried all sorts of setting adjustments and had a professional photographer have a look at it without success as to why the camera changes the image with too much lighting. I have decided to replace it with the new Canon SX30IS which has a 35x zoom and steady video results even whilst zooming and moving around a subject. I have plenty of good photos from the Nikon, but it is too frustrating to use. The facility that takes four photos whenever your take one was also annoying.

It is the first Nikon camera I have ever owned. In the 5 months I have owned the P100, it has been in Nikon service for 2 OF THOSE MONTHS. Each time Nikon had my camera for repairs, they replaced a whole list of parts and both times I received the camera back in far worse condition. The more they work on it and replace parts the worse it gets. And for some reason they keep sending it back to me with more and more problems and issues. Unbelievable. After spending another 2 hours on the phone with Nikon Tech Support, I was told the camera had to be sent back again. So, for the THIRD TIME, I sent the camera to them. I was told they would let me know if they decide to replace it or try to fix it again. Seriously. My response to this statement was that if they COULD fix it then they WOULD have. It wasn’t fair to ask me to wait while they tried to fix it for the THIRD TIME. They need to just replace it with a new camera. In the meantime, I was asked to send a few of the pictures for Nikon to analyze. The response I received from a Nikon supervisor said that the pictures I sent were bad because of the settings used and the composition. For the glare problem, he instructed me NOT to face toward the sun when taking pictures. He also suggested a setting to use for indoor low light conditions and asked me to try that and let him know how it works. How insulting! Wow. Nikon is blaming me for all the picture and camera problems and not taking any responsibility for the fact that in the 8 weeks they have had my camera for repairs they were never able to fix it – and, in fact, made it worse and still sent it back to me like there was no problem. And I can’t very well try a different setting on a camera that I do not have – and this Nikon supervisor knew that the camera had been sent back. When is Nikon going to take responsibility for their product and stand behind it? They need to accept the fact that I just happened to get the one bad apple in the bunch. I’ve already gone 8 weeks (and counting) without the use of my camera. They’ve already had 2 chances to fix it and they haven’t. They need to replace it with a new camera before the last shred of respect – and confidence - I have for Nikon is gone. This isn’t exactly how I thought my first experience with a Nikon camera would turn out. Not a fan of the camera, Nikon, tech support, or their service department now.

It was a great buy. Pictures are amazingly clear. Low light pictures are great. The best feature for me was the Sports Continuous mode... got some amazing pictures of a dolphin jump through a ring with 10-15 pics to select from.
