Consumer Critiques
Immediately after extensive study on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (some thing I need), 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'm not an skilled photographer but I am not clueless either. Having said that, this is my initially camera much more advanced than a basic 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 high-priced 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 most beneficial cost I could acquire (besides some sketchy on 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. etc.) and every single has 1 or two one of a kind attributes that I identified very 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 every thing 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 many distances, it will automatically adjust a lot more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I think, would be specifically appealing to the minimally experienced photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with terrific pictures.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the shop and it was just too heavy for my liking (a well-known complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is particularly lightweight. Although 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 bright, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Just after playing around with the camera for a few days, here are some extra observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is quite user-friendly and very easily navigable. No troubles there. Take ten minutes to read through the manual so you are conscious of all the menu possibilities.
Style AND Feel: It really is not a slippery camera, which appears to be a complaint with some of the comparable cameras I've read evaluations about. The buttons seem intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: This works particularly well. As lengthy as you are in the proper mode (read the manual for descriptions of situations you should pick out the modes your self) the camera takes absolutely focused and clear photographs, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is really good: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some persons 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 discover a predicament with it. I bought an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the photos highly easily.
Film MODE: You can zoom 2x though shooting video, which is nice.
OTHER Functions I LIKED: The Finest Shot Selector is a unique feature that I like. It's just an additional a single of those extremely beginner-friendly capabilities of this camera that will allow you to take superb shots with out getting 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 am not an knowledgeable photographer. But I identified that out of the box in the "Painless-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, expert-looking photos. As I started to play around with other attributes, I became even even more impressed with the top quality of the images in a wide variety of lighting, distance, and motion situations. The High ISO mode captures motion Highly well! I to begin with tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as quickly as I could and taking images, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp photographs of me. This is the initially camera I've ever used that truly captures wonderful motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and appear fantastic. The flash is tremendously vibrant, though I find I hardly ever need 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. Still, from the dozens of evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a common problem. It's also attainable that I haven't played around with the camera sufficient to know how to circumvent the trouble, but I nevertheless was a little disappointed.
General: 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 great camera for an individual who desires a thing even more than a fundamental point-and-shoot but does not want to devote the dollars on an SLR or the energy attempting to figure out a extra complex camera to get terrific 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 overpriced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will price 3-four occasions as considerably as this camera, and I'm especially pleased with the quality of the images I'm obtaining with the L100. The Simple and easy-Auto and Auto modes are terrific and I feel most people will be highly pleased with the shots they will create when in them, even if they never leave those modes. Still, learning all of the functions is effortless and hasn't taken me that long, and my images have looked a lot more and more qualified the additional 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

Here is a video collage of photos I took with this camera in Namibia - [...]
I thought I would emphasize the rechargeable battery given that Nikon just added it not too long ago 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 below "optional accessories". Personally, I do not like rechargeables considering they shed their charge over time and you have to keep 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 expense is about a penny a pic. I can afford that.
Right here are the causes I purchased this camera. I use it to do stop-motion shooting in the woods working with toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for general photo shooting. This camera aids since:
(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 required. I put a flat piece of wood 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 end. (The 75mm telephoto finish of the zoom is about as strong as you can have and nonetheless maintain steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double system of vibration manage to help steer clear of blurred shots.)
(3) The scene modes consist of one particular called "Food" mode which is really valuable to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts control of color balance on the arrow buttons exactly where you can readily 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 power off. That is crucial for cease motion since you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each shot. Undoubtedly 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 working with any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(five) NIKON excellent. I tried this camera in the retailer and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a comparable-priced CANON produced a distinct grinding noise. The excellent even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page principal manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals totally duplicated in Spanish as nicely. The manuals cover each function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to understand the camera characteristics to my own satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Simple and easy AUTO" mode that requires you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, perhaps you really should shop for a simpler camera if that is all you want from your camera, but with the "Quick 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) Maybe I am thinking illogically, but I think that a major lens takes greater photos than a tiny lens... and this camera has a Major 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 perhaps a handful of alot more tiny items.
To sum it up, the high quality is high, the value is low, and it takes terrific photographs in a assortment of situations with an easy-ro-use operating method. If you want additional than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you're a pro. :)
