Customer Reviews
Right after extensive study on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (some thing I call for), I settled on three: the Nikon L100, the Canon Powershot SX10IS, and the Fujifilm s8100fd. So you know the perspective from which this evaluation is coming, I'm not an skilled photographer but I am not clueless either. Then again, this is my initial camera additional advanced than a simple point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.
This is why I chose the L100:
Expense: The L100 is considerably 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 greater. Amazon had the most effective cost I could get (besides some sketchy web based sellers).
Technologies: 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 every has one or two exceptional features that I located 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 anything for you: the camera chooses the shutter speed, ISO, aperture, no flash or one particular of a number of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vivid- to low- light circumstances and from different distances, it will automatically adjust a lot more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I believe, would be specially attractive to the minimally seasoned photographer who just wants to click the button wherever they are and come out with outstanding photos.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the store and it was just too heavy for my liking (a prevalent complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is rather 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 larger than the screens on the other cameras, it's incredibly bright, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Immediately after playing about with the camera for a couple of days, here are some further observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is especially user-friendly and easily navigable. No challenges there. Take ten minutes to read via the manual so you are conscious of all the menu options.
Style AND Feel: It's 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 nicely. As extended as you are in the proper mode (read the manual for descriptions of scenarios you should really decide on the modes yourself) the camera takes absolutely focused and clear images, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is fantastic: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some many people do not like the SD card to be accessible in the similar door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I don't locate a predicament with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the images highly promptly.
Movie MODE: You can zoom 2x though shooting video, which is good.
OTHER Attributes I LIKED: The Finest Shot Selector is a unique function that I like. It is just another one of those particularly beginner-friendly functions of this camera that will enable you to take terrific shots without having getting to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also works nicely for action shots.
TAKING Photographs: Like I talked about just before, I am not an skilled photographer. But I found that out of the box in the "Effortless-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, professional-looking photos. As I began to play around with other features, I became even more impressed with the good quality of the photos in a assortment of lighting, distance, and movement situations. The High ISO mode captures motion Incredibly nicely! I to begin with tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapidly as I could and taking photographs, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp images of me. This is the initially camera I've ever applied that truly captures outstanding motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and appear terrific. The flash is highly vivid, although I find I hardly ever want 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 evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this seems to be a standard predicament. It's also doable that I haven't played about with the camera enough to know how to circumvent the problem, but I nonetheless was a small disappointed.
Overall: This camera is inexpensive for it's class, lightweight, has the most up-to-date technologies, and is very beginner- and user-friendly. It is the great camera for somebody who desires one thing significantly more than a fundamental point-and-shoot but doesn't want to devote the funds on an SLR or the energy trying to figure out a far 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 over an costly and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will price 3-four times as considerably as this camera, and I'm highly pleased with the high quality of the photos I'm obtaining with the L100. The Straightforward-Auto and Auto modes are superb and I assume most folks will be extremely happy with the shots they will generate when in them, even if they in no way leave those modes. Having said that, mastering all of the characteristics is simple and easy and hasn't taken me that extended, and my images have looked additional and a lot more specialist the more I've played about with them. This is a awesome camera.
PS-I got the M-Rock Ozark 505 case for this camera and it fits it perfectly

I believed 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's a NI-MH battery with recharger. Check the NIKON webpage for the L100 and you will see it listed under "optional accessories". Personally, I do not like rechargeables mainly because they shed their charge over time and you have to don't forget to recharge them when you get prepared 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 cease-motion shooting in the woods employing toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for common photo shooting. This camera assists given that:
(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 needed. I put a flat piece of wood amongst 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 still preserve steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double technique of vibration manage to help avoid blurred shots.)
(three) The scene modes incorporate one particular called "Food" mode which is very valuable to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts control of color balance on the arrow buttons where you can very easily adjust it. Then, whatever color balance you set stays in memory (just for the Food mode) till the next time you use Food mode, even if you turn the energy off. That's essential for stop motion considering you do not want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for every single shot. Obviously 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 using any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(five) NIKON high quality. I tried this camera in the store and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a related-priced CANON created a distinct grinding noise. The high quality even extends to the 4 manuals - a 134 page primary manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals entirely duplicated in Spanish as nicely. The manuals cover every single feature in clear detail. It took me two hours to discover the camera capabilities to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Quick AUTO" mode that requires you to know nothing at all from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, perhaps you will need to invest in 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, even the ones who don't want to know what color balance is.
(6) Perhaps I am thinking illogically, but I think that a major lens takes far better pictures than a small lens... and this camera has a Big lens. That indicates you can't 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 room for the SD memory card's case and maybe a few extra modest items.
To sum it up, the good quality is high, the price is low, and it takes wonderful images in a wide variety of situations with an uncomplicated-ro-use operating program. If you want a lot more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you are a pro. :)
