This camera performs.
I bought this camera because my friend had it and I reallly liked the pictures she had taken. It has performed extremely well in all situations: Shuttle launch video, riding video, bands, flowers, birds, rain, etc. I'm convinced of its construction quality because it flew out of my hand on a recent trike ride and ended up in the middle of the road. I lost the battery door and the battery but not the SD which was loaded with pictures. I bought a new battery, charged it up, downloaded my pictures, took the camera through all its settings and added a little duck tape for the battery door. It works like new but looks like junk. I will likely spring for another Coolpix in the future because I really like the size and quality of the photes. Thanks NIKON.

The best features on a camera.
The new Nikon is amazing. It has all features a camera needs. I went to Niagara Falls with the camera and the footage it took was fabulous. Best Camera created by Nikon so far.

Fantastic, Fun Camera
This camera was great right out of the box. I previously owned a Nikon CoolPix. After 10 years of happily using it, it became possessed and started turning itself on and off, repeatedly. I really wanted another CoolPix, since I thought that my old one was so good and had served me for so long. I shopped around and found the S3100. I jumped when I saw the price and features. It's so easy that you could use it without doing any reading to discover everything else special that it can do. I don't understand the few negative reviewers' comments. This camera can't take a bad picture. I used it for photos for a business proposal, and everyone was so impressed with the pictures even when printed with a color laser printer on plain bond paper. It's fun and easy to take great pictures. It's such a good buy for a fantastic price. It's one of the best buys I've made all year.

The camera keeps numbering the photos. It does not start over with number 1. Most cameras have a setting to either turn on or off file renumbering.

Memory cards with an SD speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies, since may stop unexpectedly when a lower speed class ratings is used. The maximum file for a single movie is 2GB or the maximum movie length for a single movie is 29 minutes, even when there is sufficient free space on the card for longer recording.

Make sure that you have a memory card inserted in the camera. The Maximum file size for a single movie is 2GB or the maximum free space on the memory card for longer recording.
I'm looking to use it to record a few things (rugby games) about 40 min clips and was wondering if I can connect the camera and record directly to my computer.

I love my old coolpix3100, is this similar in quality and features?
I really like my old camera but it is time to upgrade.... will I find the similar features and pic quality? with the desired increase in megapixels?
my old one has 3.2 ;-)
is there anything this camera does not have that the older one did?
I use macro a lot, use for work... but the landscape quality of the 3.2 is just not there, is it the pixel or the camera?
interested in increased quality and being able to use it for landscape/skyscape...
