Customer Evaluations
Immediately after extensive research on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (one 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 critique is coming, I'm not an knowledgeable photographer but I am not clueless either. On the other hand, this is my initially camera even more advanced than a basic point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.
This is why I chose the L100:
Cost: The L100 is drastically 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 better. Amazon had the ideal price tag I could find (besides some sketchy on-line sellers).
Technologies: This was a toughy. All three of these cameras have comparable technologies (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, and so on. and so on.) and each and every has a single or two unique functions that I identified 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 three cameras. The Auto Modes do literally almost everything 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 vivid- to low- light circumstances and from many different distances, it will automatically adjust far more elements of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I assume, would be in particular attractive to the minimally experienced photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with great images.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the shop and it was just too heavy for my liking (a common complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is quite lightweight. Though the s8100fd is of similar 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 quite vivid, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Following playing about with the camera for a couple of days, here are some extra observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is quite user-friendly and readily navigable. No concerns there. Take ten minutes to read through the manual so you are aware of all the menu alternatives.
Design AND Really feel: It's not a slippery camera, which appears 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 works pretty nicely. As long as you are in the suitable mode (read the manual for descriptions of circumstances you really should choose the modes yourself) the camera takes entirely focused and clear pictures, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is fine: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some people 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 get a challenge with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the pictures really swiftly.
Film MODE: You can zoom 2x although shooting video, which is good.
OTHER Characteristics I LIKED: The Best Shot Selector is a distinctive function that I like. It is just yet another one particular of those very beginner-friendly attributes of this camera that will let you to take awesome shots without having getting to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also functions well for action shots.
TAKING Pictures: Like I mentioned before, I am not an knowledgeable photographer. But I found that out of the box in the "Easy-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, expert-seeking photographs. As I began to play about with other characteristics, I became even more impressed with the good quality of the pictures in a range of lighting, distance, and movement circumstances. The High ISO mode captures motion Really well! I initial tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapidly as I could and taking pictures, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp images of me. This is the initially camera I've ever employed that really captures wonderful motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look awesome. The flash is highly bright, while I discover I seldom 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, such as close objects in Macro Mode. Yet, from the dozens of reviews I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a popular predicament. It really is also potential that I haven't played around with the camera adequate to know how to circumvent the problem, but I still was a small disappointed.
Overall: This camera is affordable for it really is class, lightweight, has the most up-to-date technology, and is tremendously beginner- and user-friendly. It is the wonderful camera for someone who desires something far more than a basic point-and-shoot but does not want to devote the cash on an SLR or the power attempting to figure out a a great deal more 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 more than an high-priced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will cost 3-4 occasions as substantially as this camera, and I am extremely pleased with the top quality of the photographs I am finding with the L100. The Hassle-free-Auto and Auto modes are wonderful and I believe most many people will be highly content with the shots they will generate although in them, even if they never leave those modes. Having said that, mastering all of the characteristics is hassle-free and hasn't taken me that extended, and my photos have looked more and additional qualified the more I've played about 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 believed I would emphasize the rechargeable battery given that Nikon just added it recently and some reviewers were 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 given that they shed their charge over time and you have to remember to recharge them when you get prepared to use your camera. I'd considerably 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 reasons I bought this camera. I use it to do cease-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 helps 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 in 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 five.7mm on the wide finish. (The 75mm telephoto end of the zoom is about as powerful as you can have and nonetheless keep steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double program of vibration control to aid stay away from blurred shots.)
(three) The scene modes include 1 named "Food" mode which is especially helpful to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage of color balance on the arrow buttons exactly 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 energy off. That is imperative for quit motion given that you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for every shot. Obviously 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 working with any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(five) NIKON quality. I tried this camera in the store 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 4 manuals - a 134 page principal manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals totally duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover every single function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to discover the camera features to my own satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Easy AUTO" mode that demands you to know nothing at all from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, perhaps you must decide to buy a easier camera if that is all you want from your camera, but with the "Straightforward 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) Possibly I am thinking illogically, but I believe that a huge lens takes far better photos than a little lens... and this camera has a Huge lens. That indicates you cannot slip it in your pocket, but I have a nifty small belt-loop case (the Edit 100) that neatly fits the camera and has pockets for 2 sets of four AA batteries and space for the SD memory card's case and perhaps a couple of extra tiny items.
To sum it up, the high quality is high, the price tag is low, and it takes fantastic photos in a variety of scenarios with an very easy-ro-use operating program. If you want a lot more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you're a pro. :)
