Guide Review - Nikon CoolPix 2100 Digital Camera

This digital camera is very simple to operate. It contains several scene modes designed to enhance your photographs quality, but they can be a bit confusing to the beginner. Designed for the beginner, its the point and shoot auto features give great results.

Many people advertise that this camera is capable of producing photo lab quality 8”x10” prints, but that is simply not possible. It can produce photo lab quality 4”x6” prints, and even 5”x7” on the outside. For 8”x10” enlargements you will need a 3 megapixel camera at the very least.
