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

 

Consumer Critiques

Immediately after extensive research 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 skilled photographer but I'm not clueless either. Still, this is my to begin with camera even more advanced than a fundamental point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.

This is why I chose the L100:

Price: The L100 is drastically much less expensive than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's value was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technology on the L100 was superior. Amazon had the ideal value I could uncover (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 each and every has 1 or two special functions that I located especially attractive. 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 anything for you: the camera chooses the shutter speed, ISO, aperture, no flash or one of a quantity of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vibrant- to low- light scenarios and from many different distances, it will automatically adjust significantly more elements of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I think, would be specially appealing to the minimally knowledgeable photographer who just wants to click the button wherever they are and come out with good pictures.

WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the retailer and it was just too heavy for my liking (a well-known complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is especially lightweight. Although the s8100fd is of comparable 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 pretty vivid, and it has a coating that reduces glare.

Immediately after playing about with the camera for a couple of days, here are some extra observations/impressions:

MENU: The menu is pretty user-friendly and readily navigable. No problems there. Take ten minutes to read through the manual so you are conscious of all the menu selections.

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 critiques about. The buttons seem intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.

IMAGE STABILIZATION: This functions rather nicely. As long as you are in the right mode (read the manual for descriptions of situations you really should decide on the modes your self) the camera takes absolutely focused and clear images, even with an unsteady hand.

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

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

OTHER Capabilities I LIKED: The Most effective Shot Selector is a unique function that I like. It's just an additional one of those pretty beginner-friendly attributes of this camera that will enable you to take wonderful shots with no 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 just before, I am not an seasoned photographer. But I discovered that out of the box in the "Hassle-free-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, professional-looking pictures. As I began to play about with other features, I became even much more impressed with the high quality of the images in a wide variety of lighting, distance, and motion scenarios. The High ISO mode captures motion Pretty well! I initially tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapidly as I could and taking images, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp images of me. This is the first camera I've ever utilised that actually captures exceptional movement shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look terrific. The flash is quite bright, although I obtain I rarely have to have to use it.

The only complaint that I have at this point is that the camera has difficulty focusing on objects in dim light, which includes close objects in Macro Mode. Having said that, from the dozens of reviews I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a widespread challenge. It's also achievable that I haven't played about with the camera adequate to know how to circumvent the challenge, but I still was a small disappointed.

General: This camera is affordable for it is class, lightweight, has the most up-to-date technologies, and is tremendously beginner- and user-friendly. It is the excellent camera for someone who wants a thing alot more than a standard point-and-shoot but doesn't want to spend the cash on an SLR or the power trying to figure out a significantly more complicated camera to get outstanding 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 expensive and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will price 3-4 times as significantly as this camera, and I am highly pleased with the quality of the images I am finding with the L100. The Painless-Auto and Auto modes are remarkable and I assume most people will be highly happy with the shots they will create though in them, even if they never leave those modes. Having said that, studying all of the attributes is hassle-free and hasn't taken me that lengthy, and my photographs have looked additional and additional qualified the a great deal more I've played around with them. This is a superb 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 lately and some reviewers had been saying the L100 couldn't use a rechargeable battery. It's a NI-MH battery with recharger. Check the NIKON webpage for the L100 and you will see it listed below "optional accessories". Personally, I do not like rechargeables considering they lose their charge over time and you have to don't forget to recharge them when you get ready to use your camera. I'd a lot 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 purchased this camera. I use it to do quit-motion shooting in the woods utilizing toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for common photo shooting. This camera assists simply because:

(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which indicates it will not fall over when you set it down. No tripod necessary. I put a flat piece of wood among it and the ground to shield it.

(2) 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 powerful as you can have and nevertheless keep steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double method of vibration control to assist steer clear of blurred shots.)

(3) The scene modes contain 1 referred to as "Food" mode which is really beneficial to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts control of color balance on the arrow buttons exactly where you can quickly adjust it. Then, whatever color balance you set stays in memory (just for the Food mode) until the next time you use Food mode, even if you turn the energy off. That's necessary for quit motion considering that you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each shot. Naturally the Food mode is intended for close-up shooting of food, but it works for me and my toys!

(4) 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.

(five) NIKON high quality. I tried this camera in the retailer and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a similar-priced CANON produced a distinct grinding noise. The excellent even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page primary manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals absolutely duplicated in Spanish as nicely. The manuals cover each and every feature in clear detail. It took me two hours to find out the camera characteristics to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Painless AUTO" mode that demands you to know nothing at all from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, maybe you must purchase a simpler camera if that is all you want from your camera, but with the "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 believe that a massive lens takes far better photos than a tiny lens... and this camera has a Huge lens. That means you cannot slip it in your pocket, but I have a nifty little belt-loop case (the Edit 100) that neatly fits the camera and has pockets for 2 sets of 4 AA batteries and space for the SD memory card's case and maybe a few far more small items.

To sum it up, the quality is high, the cost is low, and it takes amazing photos in a assortment of situations with an hassle-free-ro-use operating program. If you want a lot more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you are a pro. :)
