Review on 📷 Nikon COOLPIX S9100: 12.1MP Full HD 1080p Video Camera with 18x NIKKOR ED Zoom Lens (Silver) by Jose Schweigert

This camera has excellent performance and takes excellent photos in daylight and very good photos in low light. The panorama function works great. However, there are two issues with this unit that made me return it. For some reason, Revain didn't offer an exchange (out of stock?). Shortcomings: 1. There is a small bubble near the center of each photo at each zoom range. Cleaning the lens didn't help, so it could be a defect in the lens glass or the sensor itself.2. Auto focus is very poor in Auto mode as mentioned in many other reviews. To get good focus you need to use one of the scene modes. Update 02/29/2012: I was able to exchange instead of refund. The new camera had the same issues - a small bubble on the lens, albeit in a different location, and poor focusing. I even went to my local store and looked at their display model - same problems. The bubble was still somewhere else, but it was there. None of the other Nikon models in the store had such problems. I even contacted Nikon technical support. Useless! Their email response was "Please try a different lens with your camera". For real? A tip? In the end I returned it. It's a shame, because this camera can take great photos, has good functions and a great design. Shame on Nikon for ruining a good product!
