As I said in a previous post, Nikon L100, it's not a bad camera, but there is practically no options. I purchased one for my wife this summer. She loves taking pictures but she hates changing the settings. It's a perfect match for her in a sense that the only option you have are scene selection (night portrait, lanscape, sports, beach, sunset... there is almost 30 different one to choose from) and automatic. There is no manual mode nor any ways to change Aperture, ISO and Shutterspeed. You have to learn what the scenes are doing and exploit them depending on the situation. The 15x optic zoom is also a nice addition since you cannot change the lens but forget anything outside a sunny afternoon without a tripod at 15x. I also like the fact that if you want to use the flash, you have to stick it out otherwise it doesn't fires.

Hope this help.
