I still use my coolpix 995 as it is really too cool. The biggest advantage with this Nikon series is the fish eye lens converter:
Nikon Fc-E8 Fisheye Converter
that is in your link page (I bought it a lot cheaper of the ebay). A true jewel. Specially when the supporting software Ipix was in the market to create the real virtual images that was a dream for me since childhood. Pity and shame, they went bankrupt.
Apart from that, my recommendation for the need you mentioned, at this time, is a Canon S3.
