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

 

Customer Evaluations

Immediately after extensive analysis on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (something I demand), I settled on 3: the Nikon L100, the Canon Powershot SX10IS, and the Fujifilm s8100fd. So you know the perspective from which this critique is coming, I am not an experienced photographer but I am not clueless either. Having said that, this is my first camera a great deal more advanced than a fundamental point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.

This is why I chose the L100:

Expense: The L100 is significantly much less costly than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's price was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technologies on the L100 was far better. Amazon had the greatest price I could find (besides some sketchy on-line sellers).

Technology: This was a toughy. All three of these cameras have comparable technology (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, etc. etc.) and every has a single or two unique functions that I identified pretty 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 three cameras. The Auto Modes do literally anything for you: the camera chooses the shutter speed, ISO, aperture, no flash or a single of a quantity of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from bright- to low- light situations and from numerous distances, it will automatically adjust even more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I believe, would be primarily desirable to the minimally knowledgeable photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with fantastic photos.

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

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

Right after playing about with the camera for a handful of days, right here are some further observations/impressions:

MENU: The menu is extremely user-friendly and quickly navigable. No difficulties there. Take ten minutes to read via the manual so you are aware of all the menu options.

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

IMAGE STABILIZATION: This works pretty well. As lengthy as you are in the right mode (read the manual for descriptions of circumstances you should certainly pick the modes your self) the camera takes completely focused and clear photographs, even with an unsteady hand.

BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is excellent: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some people do not like the SD card to be accessible in the same door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I don't uncover a predicament with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the pictures particularly quickly.

Film MODE: You can zoom 2x while shooting video, which is nice.

OTHER Characteristics I LIKED: The Best Shot Selector is a unique function that I like. It is just a different one of those extremely beginner-friendly characteristics of this camera that will let you to take awesome shots with out having to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also works well for action shots.

TAKING Photographs: Like I mentioned ahead of, I'm not an knowledgeable photographer. But I found that out of the box in the "Straightforward-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, specialist-seeking pictures. As I began to play around with other capabilities, I became even alot more impressed with the quality of the photos in a range of lighting, distance, and movement situations. The High ISO mode captures movement Incredibly nicely! I to begin with tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as quick as I could and taking photos, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp photographs of me. This is the first camera I've ever utilized that in fact captures outstanding motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look fantastic. The flash is exceptionally bright, despite the fact that I discover I hardly ever need to have to use it.

The only complaint that I have at this point is that the camera has trouble focusing on objects in dim light, which includes close objects in Macro Mode. Nonetheless, from the dozens of reviews I've read on other comparable cameras, this seems to be a common difficulty. It is also achievable that I haven't played about with the camera adequate to know how to circumvent the problem, but I nevertheless was a little disappointed.

Overall: This camera is affordable for it's class, lightweight, has the newest technologies, and is exceptionally beginner- and user-friendly. It is the great camera for someone who wants something even more than a basic point-and-shoot but doesn't want to devote the revenue on an SLR or the power trying to figure out a much more complex camera to get awesome shots. For those beginner to moderately skilled photographers debating amongst an advanced point-and-shoot and a SLR (like I initially did), you will be glad you got this over an costly and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will expense 3-4 times as a lot as this camera, and I am really pleased with the superior of the photos I'm receiving with the L100. The Very easy-Auto and Auto modes are remarkable and I think most men and women will be rather content with the shots they will generate whilst in them, even if they in no way leave those modes. Nevertheless, understanding all of the functions is painless and hasn't taken me that lengthy, and my images have looked a great deal more and extra skilled the more I've played around with them. This is a wonderful camera.

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

I thought I would emphasize the rechargeable battery due to the fact Nikon just added it recently and some reviewers had been saying the L100 couldn't use a rechargeable battery. It 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 do not like rechargeables since 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 substantially rather just pop in a set of alkaline AA's. Then battery price is about a penny a pic. I can afford that.

Right here are the factors I bought this camera. I use it to do stop-motion shooting in the woods making use of toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for common photo shooting. This camera helps since:

(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which means it will not fall more than when you set it down. No tripod necessary. I put a flat piece of wood among 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 end. (The 75mm telephoto finish of the zoom is about as effective as you can have and still maintain steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double technique of vibration control to assist stay away from blurred shots.)

(3) The scene modes include a single named "Food" mode which is very useful to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts control of color balance on the arrow buttons where you can conveniently 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 power off. That is important for cease motion because you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each shot. Of course 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 applying any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.

(5) NIKON quality. I tried this camera in the retailer and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a similar-priced CANON made a distinct grinding noise. The superior even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page major manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals entirely duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover every single function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to master the camera functions to my own satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Simple and easy AUTO" mode that demands you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, possibly you need to buy a simpler camera if that's all you want from your camera, but with the "Very easy AUTO" mode you can share this camera with all family members members, even the ones who don't want to know what color balance is.

(6) Possibly I am thinking illogically, but I think that a massive lens takes superior images than a small lens... and this camera has a Massive lens. That signifies you can't 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 4 AA batteries and room for the SD memory card's case and maybe a handful of much more compact items.

To sum it up, the high quality is high, the cost is low, and it takes terrific pictures in a selection of scenarios with an simple-ro-use operating system. If you want a lot more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you're a pro. :)
