Why is Nikon advertising a lowly P&S on TV??

Not the new V/J camera (goofball Kutcher is hawking those) and not the P7100, but some cruddy P&S. I thought there was little money in them, is it really economical to flog them on television?? Which "lowly P&S" are they advertising on TV? Not all compact Coolpixes are so "lowly." I just recently bought an S9100 and I love it. |

Then it's properly referred to as a "lowly superzoom", is it not? Or are all superzooms ipso facto lowly? You also called the camera "cruddy". That's worse than lowly, right? If I were a camera, I might not mind being characterized as lowly (though I might prefer the term "humble"), if my lowliness were a consequence of my portability, or even of corners being cut to render me less expensive and therefore more available to the masses. But I think it would pain me to be called cruddy. How well have you thought this through, Rich? Enquiring minds want to be both sensitive and terminologically correct. Bob |

Technically, it is a superzoom which people buy to avoid having to carry 2 or more lenses and that portability is paid for in med-high ISO performance issues. As with any other small-sensor camera, of course. But the backlighted CMOS sensor of the S9100 (and some other recent Coolpixes) actually does provide some improvement in useful ISOs. |
