   I have the pretty old model S6000fd and nevertheless I am really satisfied with the results. It’s really amazing how powerful can camera with such a small sensor be. I am sure that 9100 is even better. Great buy for people who want the best results for a lot less money.

   This camera is amazing for product shots too. I shoot furniture and home furnishings for a store and use the room lighting. I just set it to aperture priority, put it on a tripod and set the 2 second delay shutter to avoid all shake. The pictures come out incredibly well with perfect exposure and great color every time!

   Sounds like you’re getting excellent results. But, if you do have difficulty with the room lighting, read the section in the manual on how to set the white balance on the camera. It will then correct for the room lighting (which puts an orangy tint to things).

   This is a very nice all-around camera. Focus speed is the only big disadvantage against a DSLR. I have taken a DSLR and this camera to sporting events, and you can shoot fast moving subjects with this only if you can anticipate where your subject is going to be in 1 second or 2 (So you can do racing or combat sports, but it’s tough to do soccer or basketball) GREAT for movies. Even the Nikon D90 has issues this one as old as it is doesn’t have.

   Try Topchoice Digital. Also it’s only called the s9100 in the US, everywhere else it’s called the s9600. If you don’t mind spending a couple hundred more you should get the s100fs.
