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. September 6, 2011
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. June 21, 2012
Love it I love this camera, it makes great photos, glad to have it <3 June 12, 2012
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. May 27, 2012
Great for editing and taking photos! I own this pruduct and it is great for business or home entertainment. Click Purchase NOW!!!!! May 19, 2012

Answer: 
You need to connect the camera to a computer to see if it charges the battery, it could be that is the selected settings instead of using the wall charger.

Hi,

I recently bought an s3100 and love it. It was taking great little movies, but now it won't record sound with the movie. It had been working fine. I've been through the user manual, and read through Q&A, and can't find help. How do I get the camera to record sound again? What did I do wrong, or did the mic die on me? This camera has NOT been roughly treated or dropped.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Try it with a backup battery and then verify that you have the correct option selected for the Charge by computer, MENU > SETUP MENU > Charge by Computer. If the problem persists you will need to send the camera and the charger to be evaluated.
