Nikon Coolpix S8100, is it the best Nikon compact?

I was at Target last night and saw this camera. It was one of their demo's so I was able to play around with it. It seemed pretty quick and took good photos. I was pretty impressed with range the lens had also. Another patron was telling me this camera had optical VR.

Anyone own one these? Or know anything about it? I've been to a few sites and have read up on it, what I'm looking for now is actual user testimonials.

I've seen that camera also. Hubby know's I want this camera, so hopefully Santa will be bringing for me this year :)

Just read some reviews, this is a nice camera! "Fast, responsive and versatile, the Nikon COOLPIX S8100 with advanced CMOS sensor technology and incredible 10X zoom will capture fast-moving subjects in still images and Full HD (1080) movies. High-speed operation, exceptional low-light performance, outstanding image quality and sophisticated features mark the 12.1-megapixel S8100. The optical 10x wide Zoom- NIKKOR ED glass lens covers 30-300mm, and the camera's speedy start-up, fast autofocus, quick shutter release, superior low light performance and high-speed continuous shooting (five shots in one second!) ensure capture of all your memorable moments. The S8100 also offers Optical VR Image Stabilization, high ISO sensitivity to 3200, a new flash control system, movie recording with stereo sound and a 3-inch Ultra-High Resolution (921,000-dot) Clear Color Display for bright, sharp image viewing and sharing.

I think I'm going to order this, I really like the reviews I've been getting on it. Anyone see it better priced than $299?
