i have a nikon coolpix p90 point and shoot -- it'll take great pix of birds 50 feet away at the back of the yard from my kitchen window and cool close ups of my quilt blox and great sunset pix of the mountain across the bay out of my front window. great battery, easy to download. steady hand focus with 24 power opt zoom plus whatever it's call digital zoom, in camera editing. there's a p100 now ..... drooling over that

It is the middle of their line. One of my considerations for getting this one over the similar Canon T2i was the lens options. It will take old Nikon lenses that have the Autofocus feature or ones without. But with the ones that don't have AF, you will have to do it manually. I absolutely love it. I am a lover of film, but this digital just might win me over (maybe!). It wasn't cheap, though. We bought it from Walmart.com in a package deal and saved several hundred bucks. And you really only need one battery, two maybe. I have had the same one in the camera shooting all day and night and even left the darn thing turned on all night. The battery lasted almost a week with all that shooting.
I had that Fuji camera and I HATED IT!!! It took a whole 10 seconds between shots...I missed so many great shots because of that piece of crap! lol...sorry

I have a Sony Cyber-Shot. I've had it 6 years and I love it. It's small and takes great pictures. I didn't want all that fancy stuff. That's what I have my son for, he's a photographer part time.
