Great website. Stumbled onto this site when comparing the Nikon Coolpix L110 and Nikon Coolpix P100. Not exactly sure which camera is the best, I haven't purchased one yet. This site definately helped me in making my decision on which one to purchase. Coolpix P100. Even though its more expensive I think I will be more happy with it. Thanks again!
