Nikon Coolpix S9100 (Black)

Pros: I thought this was a good brand.

Cons: Error message and lens freeze.

Summary: I've purchased this camera 3 months ago and after using only twice, I got an error message and the lens would not open. I contacted Nikon and was instructed to ship the camera to their repair center in N.Y. Every time I check the status online it shows on hold waiting for parts. I've contacted them a number of times and they keep giving me the run around. Since then I did an online search and found out that this is a common problem on these cameras - a manufacturing defect - and to make matters worse, the Nikon technical support will give you anything BUT support. Don't waste your money - for the same price you have better options.
