Customer Evaluations
Immediately after extensive investigation on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (one thing 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 critique is coming, I am not an experienced photographer but I'm not clueless either. Yet, this is my first camera more advanced than a simple point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.
This is why I chose the L100:
Price: The L100 is significantly less highly-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 price I could discover (besides some sketchy internet sellers).
Technology: This was a toughy. All 3 of these cameras have comparable technology (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, and so on. etc.) and each has 1 or two exclusive functions that I found highly 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 three cameras. The Auto Modes do literally almost everything 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 a number of distances, it will automatically adjust much more elements of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I assume, would be primarily appealing to the minimally experienced photographer who just wants to click the button wherever they are and come out with terrific photos.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the retailer and it was just too heavy for my liking (a widespread complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is extremely lightweight. Even 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 really is incredibly bright, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Following playing around with the camera for a couple of days, right here are some extra observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is particularly user-friendly and without difficulty navigable. No challenges there. Take ten minutes to read through the manual so you are conscious of all the menu possibilities.
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 evaluations about. The buttons appear intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: This functions particularly well. As long as you are in the ideal mode (read the manual for descriptions of situations you should certainly pick out the modes your self) the camera takes entirely focused and clear images, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is great: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some many people don't like the SD card to be accessible in the similar door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I do not find a predicament with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the photos highly speedily.
Film MODE: You can zoom 2x whilst shooting video, which is nice.
OTHER Capabilities I LIKED: The Perfect Shot Selector is a unique function that I like. It is just another one particular of those quite beginner-friendly functions of this camera that will permit you to take excellent shots with no having to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also works well for action shots.
TAKING Images: Like I talked about just before, I'm not an experienced photographer. But I identified that out of the box in the "Simple-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, expert-seeking pictures. As I started to play about with other features, I became even additional impressed with the superior of the photos in a variety of lighting, distance, and movement scenarios. The High ISO mode captures movement Incredibly nicely! I 1st 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 pictures of me. This is the to begin with camera I've ever made use of that basically captures wonderful motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look excellent. The flash is tremendously vivid, while I acquire I rarely need to use it.
The only complaint that I have at this point is that the camera has trouble focusing on objects in dim light, including close objects in Macro Mode. Nonetheless, from the dozens of critiques I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a common dilemma. It is also potential that I haven't played around with the camera enough to know how to circumvent the problem, but I nevertheless was a little disappointed.
Overall: This camera is affordable for it really is class, lightweight, has the most current technology, and is quite beginner- and user-friendly. It is the perfect camera for an individual who desires some thing more than a fundamental point-and-shoot but doesn't want to invest the cash on an SLR or the power attempting to figure out a extra complicated camera to get excellent shots. For those beginner to moderately skilled photographers debating in between 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 price three-4 instances as considerably as this camera, and I am quite pleased with the superior of the photographs I am getting with the L100. The Very easy-Auto and Auto modes are exceptional and I consider most folks will be rather pleased with the shots they will generate even though in them, even if they in no way leave those modes. Then again, understanding all of the functions is painless and hasn't taken me that extended, and my pictures have looked a lot more and additional skilled the a lot more I've played about with them. This is a terrific 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 since 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 beneath "optional accessories". Personally, I don't like rechargeables mainly because 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 expense is about a penny a pic. I can afford that.
Right here are the causes I bought 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 assists considering:
(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 needed. I put a flat piece of wood among it and the ground to defend 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 end of the zoom is about as effective as you can have and nevertheless preserve steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double method of vibration control to aid keep away from blurred shots.)
(3) The scene modes include things like one particular known as "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 simply 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 is critical for cease motion considering you do not want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each and every 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 applying any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(5) NIKON top quality. I tried this camera in the store and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a related-priced CANON made a distinct grinding noise. The superior even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page key manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then both manuals totally duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover every single function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to study the camera features to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Simple AUTO" mode that requires you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, maybe you must buy a easier camera if that is 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 do not want to know what color balance is.
(6) Maybe I am thinking illogically, but I think that a huge lens takes better images than a small lens... and this camera has a Major lens. That means 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 2 sets of 4 AA batteries and area for the SD memory card's case and perhaps a few additional little items.
To sum it up, the quality is high, the value is low, and it takes amazing pictures in a wide variety of scenarios with an simple and easy-ro-use operating method. If you want far more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you are a pro. :)
