Nikon Coolpix L110 12.1MP Digital Camera
https://www.amazon.com/...B0034XIMG4

Review: I bought the L110 for the main purpose of taking pictures of my two kids. They are not still subjects and the L110 is doing a great job in keeping up the pace with them. It pops-up in like 2 seconds and is shooting rounds of pictures at max resolution (12.1). That's for speed.

Wide angle and super-zoom are in the manual. What is impressive is that at max zoom (digital zoom included) - with no tripod - I get to take sharp pictures. That's for image stabilization.

After ~500 pics and ~30 min of HD video, the original AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are still fully functional. No warning yet.

Later edit. I took around
- 1100 pictures with the original AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium (L91-FR6) batteries ([… ]).
- 400 pictures with some alcaline AA Energizer (LR6-E91-AM3) batteries ([… ])
- 500 pictures / recharge with some rechargeable Energizer AA 2450 mAh.
All pictures were taken at maximum resolution and the flash fired for about 80% of those pics.

The stereo HD video recording under the same hood is a treat. The maximum length for one video session is 30 minute (regardless of SD capacity) which is decent for birthday parties and similar.

Unfortunately, this is no camera phone that you can slip into a pocket until you need it. The only draw back I can see.
I test drove both Nikon Coolpix L110 and Canon SX200IS before I decided on Nikon. Size is the only advantage of the compact vs bridge, although price is higher for that particular Canon.

L110 is a stylish piece of equipment and an ergonomic one: I can easily operate it with only one hand.
The menu is really simple and intuitive… Even for the feminine intuition…

All in all, a great camera and some well spent money.
