Nikon Coolpix L100 10 MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom

 

Consumer Reviews

After extensive analysis on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (something I call for), I settled on three: the Nikon L100, the Canon Powershot SX10IS, and the Fujifilm s8100fd. So you know the perspective from which this assessment is coming, I am not an skilled photographer but I am not clueless either. Having said that, this is my very first camera even more advanced than a simple point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.

This is why I chose the L100:

Cost: The L100 is drastically much less overpriced than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's cost was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technologies on the L100 was improved. Amazon had the perfect price I could locate (besides some sketchy on the net sellers).

Technologies: This was a toughy. All three of these cameras have comparable technologies (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, etc. etc.) and each and every has a single or two special attributes that I identified really appealing. So this variable was not a deal maker or breaker for me. But when it came down to it, the L100 is the most beginner-friendly of the 3 cameras. The Auto Modes do literally every thing for you: the camera chooses the shutter speed, ISO, aperture, no flash or one of a number of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vibrant- to low- light circumstances and from a variety of distances, it will automatically adjust even more elements of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I consider, would be specifically attractive to the minimally skilled photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with wonderful photos.

WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the retailer and it was just too heavy for my liking (a popular complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is incredibly lightweight. While the s8100fd is of similar weight, the L100 is slightly smaller in size, which I like.

Bigger SCREEN: The three inch LCD is bigger than the screens on the other cameras, it really is really vibrant, and it has a coating that reduces glare.

After playing about with the camera for a few days, right here are some additional observations/impressions:

MENU: The menu is very user-friendly and effortlessly navigable. No challenges there. Take ten minutes to read by way of the manual so you are aware of all the menu possibilities.

Design AND Feel: It really is not a slippery camera, which appears to be a complaint with some of the comparable cameras I've read critiques about. The buttons appear intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.

IMAGE STABILIZATION: This functions pretty nicely. As lengthy as you are in the correct mode (read the manual for descriptions of circumstances you need to select the modes yourself) the camera takes totally focused and clear photos, even with an unsteady hand.

BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is good: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some men and women don't like the SD card to be accessible in the exact same door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I don't acquire a difficulty with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the images very swiftly.

Movie MODE: You can zoom 2x whilst shooting video, which is good.

OTHER Characteristics I LIKED: The Ideal Shot Selector is a special feature that I like. It's just an additional one particular of those really beginner-friendly functions of this camera that will permit you to take wonderful shots with out getting to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also functions well for action shots.

TAKING Photographs: Like I talked about before, I am not an seasoned photographer. But I identified that out of the box in the "Simple-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, professional-looking pictures. As I started to play around with other attributes, I became even more impressed with the excellent of the photos in a selection of lighting, distance, and motion scenarios. The High ISO mode captures movement Very well! I first tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapid as I could and taking pictures, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp photographs of me. This is the to begin with camera I've ever utilized that essentially captures remarkable motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and appear wonderful. The flash is exceptionally vivid, even though I locate I hardly ever want to use it.

The only complaint that I have at this point is that the camera has trouble focusing on objects in dim light, such as close objects in Macro Mode. Even so, from the dozens of reviews I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a well-known predicament. It really is also feasible that I haven't played around with the camera adequate to know how to circumvent the situation, but I nonetheless was a little disappointed.

General: This camera is inexpensive for it really is class, lightweight, has the most recent technology, and is highly beginner- and user-friendly. It is the wonderful camera for an individual who desires some thing far more than a fundamental point-and-shoot but doesn't want to spend the money on an SLR or the energy trying to figure out a much more complicated camera to get wonderful shots. For those beginner to moderately skilled photographers debating among an advanced point-and-shoot and a SLR (like I initially did), you will be glad you got this more than an high priced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will expense 3-4 occasions as much as this camera, and I am rather pleased with the superior of the images I'm receiving with the L100. The Simple and easy-Auto and Auto modes are great and I consider most many people will be very content with the shots they will create whilst in them, even if they never ever leave those modes. Nevertheless, mastering all of the capabilities is effortless and hasn't taken me that lengthy, and my images have looked alot more and much more specialist the much more I've played around with them. This is a good camera.

PS-I got the M-Rock Ozark 505 case for this camera and it fits it perfectly

Right here is a video collage of images I took with this camera in Namibia - [...]

I believed I would emphasize the rechargeable battery because Nikon just added it recently and some reviewers were saying the L100 couldn't use a rechargeable battery. It really is a NI-MH battery with recharger. Check the NIKON webpage for the L100 and you will see it listed under "optional accessories". Personally, I don't like rechargeables due to the fact they lose their charge over time and you have to bear in mind to recharge them when you get ready to use your camera. I'd significantly rather just pop in a set of alkaline AA's. Then battery price is about a penny a pic. I can afford that.

Here are the reasons I bought this camera. I use it to do cease-motion shooting in the woods employing toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for common photo shooting. This camera assists because:

(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which implies it will not fall more than when you set it down. No tripod necessary. I put a flat piece of wood in between it and the ground to guard it.

(two) The 15X Zoom lens widens all the way out to 5mm which is equivalent to a 28mm lens on a 35mm camera. Most digicams only go down to about 6mm or 5.7mm on the wide finish. (The 75mm telephoto finish of the zoom is about as potent as you can have and nevertheless preserve steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double technique of vibration manage to support keep away from blurred shots.)

(three) The scene modes include things like one particular named "Food" mode which is incredibly helpful to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage of color balance on the arrow buttons where you can effortlessly adjust it. Then, whatever color balance you set stays in memory (just for the Food mode) until the subsequent time you use Food mode, even if you turn the energy off. That's significant for cease motion simply because you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for every single shot. Definitely the Food mode is intended for close-up shooting of food, but it functions for me and my toys!

(four) There is an AC adapter for the camera, which I have ordered, so I will not be making use of any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.

(5) NIKON excellent. I tried this camera in the store and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a comparable-priced CANON made a distinct grinding noise. The high quality even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page major manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals absolutely duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover each feature in clear detail. It took me two hours to discover the camera attributes to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Straightforward AUTO" mode that calls for you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, maybe you should really shop for a easier camera if that is all you want from your camera, but with the "Quick AUTO" mode you can share this camera with all loved ones members, even the ones who do not want to know what color balance is.

(6) Possibly I am thinking illogically, but I believe that a significant lens takes much better photographs than a small lens... and this camera has a Major lens. That signifies you cannot slip it in your pocket, but I have a nifty tiny belt-loop case (the Edit 100) that neatly fits the camera and has pockets for 2 sets of four AA batteries and area for the SD memory card's case and perhaps a couple of a great deal more little items.

To sum it up, the good quality is high, the cost is low, and it takes wonderful photographs in a assortment of situations with an uncomplicated-ro-use operating program. If you want much more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you're a pro. :)
