Just a few quick observations regarding the 2100 since I’ve only had it a day and I’m pressed for time:
It starts up quite quickly.
It doesn’t have a lens cap, which is one less thing to fiddle around with.
It’s very small.
It has a really cool spring-loaded on/off switch that isn’t like the other Coolpixs.
The menus are completely different than the other Coolpix cameras I’ve used.
The only complaint I have so far: It seems as though the camera doesn’t remember if you’ve turned flash off if you switch between modes. I mistakenly took flash photos more than once because I had set flash to off and then it reset to default which is on if light is low.
Oh yea, and the blinking hand in the corner is rather annoying. I realize it’s to warn that the light is too low, but it’s still annoying.
Other than that, it’s all good.
Size Comparison
Are you satisfied with the quality of pictures taken with the 2100? I’d love to see a couple of comparison shots taken with both the 2100 & the 5700 just to get an idea (if it’s not too much trouble for you). Thanks Nicole!
