Summary: Excellent, cute, and affordable!
Review: OK, I admit it - I was first drawn to this camera because of how small and cute it is, and how it fits ergonomically in my right hand. At first I was considering the 3100 until ultimately, I decided 2MP was all I really needed. I'm only looking at pictures on my computer, emailing/posting them on the web, and printing 4 x 6. The $100 price difference was also a factor - It's not that I can't afford to spend more, it was more like...is it worth spending so much money on a point-and-shoot digital camera? Especially when you have to factor in an extra $150 or so for accessories. Plus, digicams are changing so rapidly, I'll probably want another one in a couple of years. (However, if you want more flexible printing options, you'll probably want a 3MP or higher). Now that the price dropped, it makes the camera even more worth the price! I also considered other brands, but decided on the Nikon because (1) I've had other types of Nikons in the past that have captured memorable photos and are still clicking; (2) the Nikon digicams use the more common (and cheaper) CF memory cards; and (3) have the option of using two AA batteries. I picked up some Duracell 2050 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries that came with a 30 min charger, and they work great. I was worried initially, because of all the negative reviews about battery power I've read about online. And it did seem to drain the batteries more on first use (maybe because it was charging the internal clock battery?). But now it works great. The features on the camera are also a plus - it's so easy to use. It took me just a couple minutes to figure out all the functions. Though you don't get shutter or aperture priority (just buy an SLR if you want that!) the modes more than compensate. I especially liked the macro feature and the white balance. And there doesn't seem to be a problem focusing in low light despite the lack of an AF assist lamp. The only downsides I can think of (which are really minor) - maybe a little too small for a man's hands; not all the scene modes are really that useful; some parts of the body are a bit too plasticky (but who knows if this will be a problem in the future or not). In short, great pictures, great features (that both the beginner and the amateur can appreciate), really easy to use, easy to transfer to my computer, and affordable!

Summary: Go Nikon!
Review: I just wanted a lightweight digital camera which takes excellent quality pics and I'm not disappointed. The size is great. It's very easy to operate for a novice like me and still takes excellent pics. The pics at night come out great too which is a big plus. Overall, it's worth the money and with the great deal at Amazon, I'd say buy it!

Summary: Great budget digital
Review: I bought this camera to replace my beloved Sony Mavica that finally gave out. The "bang for buck" with this digital is unparallel, and of course everyone knows Nikon makes a great camera! At the time I was on a tighter budget so this camera fit my needs but it is more of a "beginner" "point and shoot" type of camera. It has several modes all of which are again geared toward the novice photographer, going into the menu inside each mode allows for some minute tweaking. My one major gripe is the complete lack of focus when working with fur. I hobby breed chinchillas and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a decent shot of one of them with this camera. I have many other pets I try and photograph but it is extremely difficult. I much prefer my old mavica in this respect as I could get crystal clear pictures of ALL my animals without any hassling with the camera. That is not to say that I haven't gotten some great pictures of my furry companions with a bit of patience! However, there is alot of positives! This camera does take excellent macro shots, it also takes great scenery and people shots, and it works brilliantly at night as the flash sensor is excellent and the flash itself is very powerful and bright. The functionality is excellent, and with the help of reading the owners manual you can unlock many of this cameras better features. This camera uses a new battery called the "CRV3", many leading battery manufacturers now make this compact but powerful battery. I use my Nikon frequently, pretty much everyday several times a day, and I get GREAT battery life. I am not throwing batteries in every few days like some of my friends have to do with their "AA" powered cameras. I did buy a Energizer replacement battery rather than a Panasonic (which is supplied) and I have been very happy with them. To address some of the other reviews: The battery cover DOES feel a bit flimsy, but after you get comfortable handling the camera you learn how much pressure to use. I like to push the battery into the socket fully and then slide the cover over, this helps with not putting so much pressure on the cover. The LCD monitor has a dedicated button right below the LCD screen sandwiched between the delete and menu buttons. One touch and it instantly turns the LCD screen off. Bottom line - If you are a beginner to the hobby or just want an affordable digital to take pictures of friends and family this is an EXCELLENT, AFFORDABLE choice!

Summary: Big BANG for your bucks.....
Review: Out of all the cameras I tried, this one was the best value I found for the quality of product it produces. It's small, lightweight and has more features than you can imagine. With the Nikkor lens, the pictures produced are not only sharp, but effortless to take. I will always make Nikon my first choice from now on!!!

Summary: Disappointing!
Review: After reading reviews on several 2M pixel cameras, I decided to buy the Nikon 2100 for my daughter. While the unit has 3X optical zoom and is conveniently small, there are several significant shortcomings that made me return the camera: - In Auto mode, there is a 2-4 second delay from the time you depress the shutter release until the camera focuses and takes the picture. I found this unacceptable. I confirmed with Nikon technical support that this cannot be changed when in auto mode. (My Fuji 2600 has almost no delay and it is 2M, 3X, and auto-focus also.) - The LCD monitor comes on by default whenever you turn the camera on. I prefer to use the viewfinder and only rarely use the LCD panel to take shots. There may be a way to change this but I could not easily find out how. - The manual is confusing. There are three modes for selecting and changing options - Set-up, Menu, and direct buttons for some features. The manual doesn't clarify which mode to use for various options. Confusing.
- The CRV3 battery that comes with the unit is almost impossible to install. You have to force it into the camera and force the battery cover closed. The battery cover is quite flimsy and feels like it might break. (It didn't.)
- The Image Quality/size selection is quite limited (no 960 x 1280).

Summary: Inexpensive But Excellent
Review: I wanted to spend less than 300 dollars on a digital camera that I could use to share and view pics through my computer. So I immediately decided that I did not need any high megapixel camera because I wasn't planning on printing any of the pictures I would take. So I shopped around for a small camera and found this "cute," as most girls would say, camera. The following is what I have to say: 1. I am impressed with the quality of pictures in low-lit (almost completely dark) indoor areas for such a cheap camera. 2. The included Panasonic CR-V3 battery lasted two months while taking over 200 pictures. 3. Weighs only 5.3 ounces and it is only 3.4 inches wide. 4. 3x optical zoom. The camera's performance for its price is exceptional. If you're looking for a camera to have fun with, buy this one.

Summary: this is the best one !!
Review: I have had this camera for over 2 weeks now and I find this perfect. I had tried the A60 earlier but that one was giving a green hue even in bright light and lotsa pictures weren't giving true colors. (PL. don't buy the A60).
So i returned that and got this one instead. It has been a splendid journey so far. the picture quality even in low light is good. the scene modes are very useful. Pros
- Good quality and sharp pictures
- various scene modes help compose pictures in different lighting situations.
- Low light (indoor) and night pictures pretty good
- easy to use menus
- Can use multiple batteries, 1 CRV-3 battery or 2 AA batteries
- Very compact and light
- Uses an inexpensive memory card Cons
- Battery consumption You may wanna invest in re-chargeable batteries and a higher capacity memory card. JUST BUY THIS CAMERA !!!
