Great Buy!
I spent thousands on the D7000 all the goodies and love it...Today my wife wanted a beginner camera to take away for a business trip...(.Keep in mind I buy the cheap skillet, because I know she will ruin it..)..I found for her the Coolpix S6100 for $136 bucks (AU) We brought it home and I was totally shocked!
This camera has almost everything that my camera has and is so easy to use...the touch screen and the light weight is a bonus...I know I'm the better photographer in the family, and I pay the bills with my skills. But shes right there behind me! Cheers

----> Nice camera
I have a Nikon P50 (8.1 megapixel) which takes good pictures. After 2 years with it, wanted to buy something better & bought Nikon S6100. I take pictures once in a while & last week went to Mèxico city, of course it was the perfect time to test the camera.
*PROS
-16 MEGAPIXEL: photos looks great in all light conditions
-Touch screen(lcd) with stylus: very easy to use. Nice feature, you take pics. with one touch
-Lots of options: Retouch, paint, motion detection, vibration & wind noise reduction,etc.
-HDMI port & small size
-Price: US$183.- (Mèxico)
-Li-ion battery & USB(charger): No more batteries!!
CONS:
-Only 720p video: Well, it does the job for me. 720p is HD & looks very good. Can`t complain. It`s a camera, not a video-camera. For "more money" you get the S6200 (Full HD) with stereo sound
-Lens(x7): For me it`s perfect, but, once again, if you want more , get the S6200(x10)
I`m happy & will buy Nikon in the future without a doubt ! We all know that Nikon (along with "C---N") is one of the best camera brand in the world. Others ? A joke!

Great camera for a great price
I bought this camera at Best Buy in a bundle that included an extra rechargeable battery, a hard camera case, and a 4 gigabyte memory card for 149.99. I bought this to use just as a fun camera to carry around and take normal pics of my friends and family etc. as I already own a very nice camera from another manufacturer. I use this camera for almost everything! It has lots of cool features, is very compact, and takes great pics. Between this camera and some adobe software I'm taking absolutely amazing, magazine quality pictures. Nothing bad to say about this camera.

Perfect for what I wanted~
I bought this camera to take to a convention where I knew there would be terrible light and where I knew that there would be ALOT of pictures to take (anime conventions are like that), so I knew I would need a high ISO level. This camera was on sale and so I thought I would buy it. When I came home I played with it A TONNE! and I was so happy with what I was seeing, in the bad lighting of my home sweet home I got perfect pictures! It takes portraits gorgeously and it takes STUNNING close up still-lives (I took some pictures of some flowers I got for valentines day and they are amazing!). I have been bragging about this camera to EVERY one I know!

Great camera
I purchased this camera to have one smaller than the full sized one I have. It fits in my shirt pocket and takes great pictures. It is so easy to use that I have not even had to use the instructions. And I donot have to buy a camcorder. This thing takes better video than my old camcorder and is easier to use. I see that many people have had out of focus pictures? Most all digital cameras you need to be still when taking pictures. I purchased mine online and got a bunch or extras for a great price. Great job Nikon!

Answer:
If the light is flickering (very fast) it may be that the ambient temperature is not suited for charging or the USB cable or Charging AC adapter is not properly connected, or there is a problem with the battery. Disconnect the USB cable or unplug the Charging AC adapter and correctly connect it again, or try a back up battery.
When I initially got my Coolpix S6100 it charged fine with the AC adapter. Now it will not connect to my computer or charge either using the AC adapter or the USB cable. It has never connected properly to the computer. The computer does not even recognize that is connected. I have tried to connect to a Windows XP and Windows 7 computer.

Answer Link: http://support.nikonusa.com/app/ans...
My girlfriend's Nikon COOLPIX S6100 won't mount to my MacBook Pro. It currently has the latest software and the camera is brand new. I have connected the COOLPIX S6100 to the USB cable provided, and then connected the aforementioned USB cable to my laptop. Usually whenever I connect a camera to my Mac it initiates the plug-n-play software and automatically mounts to the computer, however when I connect this camera to the computer it will not mount. I've read the manual and came up with nothing, therefore I decided to install the provided software onto my computer. I connected the camera to my computer again and it opened the "Nikon Transfer 2" program without recognizing the camera. There seems to be a very big problem with the camera's software to the point that it won't automatically recognize a computer has connected to it and therefore won't send out the signal to properly connect.
