Nikon camera, S9100

I've read great reviews from magazines and CNET but most consumer reviews are terrible.
Anyone with thoughts on this or who owns one.

Reliability

From what I've read the S9100 appears to have some reliability issues. The Canon SX230 and Sony HX9V are similar cameras; both have much better customer reviews/satisfaction scores.

Thank you. I have also been reading up on the Sony. What I was looking for is a compact camera with a high optical zoom. I think this is probably the one. Too bad about the Nikon.
