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

 

Customer Reviews

Just after extensive investigation on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (something I require), 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 experienced photographer but I'm not clueless either. However, this is my 1st camera 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 considerably less highly-priced 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 ideal value I could uncover (besides some sketchy over the internet sellers).

Technology: This was a toughy. All 3 of these cameras have comparable technology (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, etc. and so on.) and every single has one or two special characteristics that I found quite desirable. 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 vivid- to low- light scenarios and from a variety of distances, it will automatically adjust much more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I feel, would be specially attractive to the minimally seasoned photographer who just wants to click the button wherever they are and come out with awesome images.

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

Larger SCREEN: The 3 inch LCD is larger than the screens on the other cameras, it is pretty vibrant, and it has a coating that reduces glare.

Following playing about with the camera for a handful of days, here are some extra observations/impressions:

MENU: The menu is highly user-friendly and simply navigable. No concerns there. Take ten minutes to read by means of the manual so you are aware of all the menu options.

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

IMAGE STABILIZATION: This functions really well. As long as you are in the right mode (read the manual for descriptions of circumstances you will need to select the modes your self) the camera takes completely focused and clear photos, even with an unsteady hand.

BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is great: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some people today don't like the SD card to be accessible in the identical door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I don't locate a issue with it. I bought an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the images quite quickly.

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

OTHER Characteristics I LIKED: The Ideal Shot Selector is a exclusive feature that I like. It's just another 1 of those very beginner-friendly capabilities of this camera that will enable you to take excellent shots without having to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also works well for action shots.

TAKING Pictures: Like I talked about ahead of, I am not an seasoned photographer. But I identified that out of the box in the "Simple-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, specialist-searching photos. As I started to play around with other characteristics, I became even even more impressed with the high quality of the photographs in a variety of lighting, distance, and motion circumstances. The High ISO mode captures movement Extremely well! I 1st tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as quickly as I could and taking photographs, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp photographs of me. This is the first camera I've ever utilized that basically captures exceptional movement shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look outstanding. The flash is extremely vibrant, 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 difficulty focusing on objects in dim light, such as close objects in Macro Mode. Yet, from the dozens of evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a standard problem. It is also achievable that I haven't played around with the camera sufficient to know how to circumvent the problem, but I nonetheless was a small disappointed.

Overall: This camera is inexpensive for it really is class, lightweight, has the most recent technology, and is quite beginner- and user-friendly. It is the wonderful camera for a person who desires a thing far more than a basic point-and-shoot but doesn't want to spend the capital on an SLR or the power attempting to figure out a even more complicated camera to get great 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 over an high-priced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will price 3-four instances as significantly as this camera, and I am very pleased with the high quality of the photos I am acquiring with the L100. The Simple and easy-Auto and Auto modes are excellent and I consider most people will be highly pleased with the shots they will create whilst in them, even if they never ever leave those modes. But, understanding all of the attributes is quick and hasn't taken me that extended, and my photographs have looked far more and extra qualified the additional I've played around with them. This is a outstanding 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 thought I would emphasize the rechargeable battery since Nikon just added it lately 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 beneath "optional accessories". Personally, I do not like rechargeables for the reason that they lose their charge more than time and you have to don't forget to recharge them when you get ready to use your camera. I'd considerably rather just pop in a set of alkaline AA's. Then battery cost is about a penny a pic. I can afford that.

Right here are the causes I bought this camera. I use it to do quit-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 general photo shooting. This camera aids considering:

(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which implies it will not fall over when you set it down. No tripod needed. 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 end of the zoom is about as effective as you can have and nevertheless maintain steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double program of vibration manage to assist keep away from blurred shots.)

(3) The scene modes consist of one called "Food" mode which is quite useful to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage of color balance on the arrow buttons exactly where you can easily 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's important for quit motion given that you do not want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for every shot. Naturally the Food mode is intended for close-up shooting of food, but it works 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.

(five) NIKON top quality. I tried this camera in the store and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a comparable-priced CANON produced a distinct grinding noise. The high quality even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page primary manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then both manuals fully duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover each feature in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to discover the camera capabilities to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Quick AUTO" mode that demands you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, perhaps you should obtain 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, even the ones who don't want to know what color balance is.

(6) Possibly I am thinking illogically, but I believe that a huge lens takes better images than a little lens... and this camera has a Significant lens. That implies you can't 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 two sets of four AA batteries and area for the SD memory card's case and possibly a handful of far more modest items.

To sum it up, the excellent is high, the price tag is low, and it takes wonderful images in a variety of scenarios with an hassle-free-ro-use operating technique. If you want additional than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you are a pro. :)
