'On the other hand, if a little softness doesn't bother you, this is a quite capable camera for taking photos under a variety of conditions without much effort from the user. '
'The TX9's overall performance score matched that of high-end point-and-shoot cameras such as the Canon PowerShot S90 and Samsung HZ35W. '
'a casual photographer is sure to find this camera more than capable.'
'The overall quality is good, but not exceptional, as is common on cameras of this type and size.'
'Of course, there are plenty of people who can overlook its imperfections in exchange for the heaps of wow factor the P100 packs. '
'So, if you want a camera that gives you lots of gimmicks to play with in a compact package the Nikon is a good choice.'
'The Nikon Coolpix P100 is a major step forward in terms of banishing the bane of the compact camera - image noise - though it does look fairly pricey. '
'The 3in tilt-adjustable LCD on the back of the Nikon Coolpix P100 and the huge extending lens are the only aspects that seem out of place on this otherwise well-proportioned camera - and these are hardly complaints. '
'Buttons are easy to press and the command dial doesn't stick.'
'The full HD video, high speed shooting, long telephoto reach, and excellent macro modes make this an interesting camera, especially with some very good image quality and low noise, it's worth considering if you don't mind the sluggish and sometimes awkward controls, or recommended if you simply want to point and shoot.
