Consumer Critiques

For any individual searching at finding a decent, mid-level point-and-shoot with the look and feel of an SLR, the Nikon Coolpix L120 is by far the perfect alternative, even with its few shortcomings!

As a semi-skilled photographer who mainly shoots film (but is slowly converting to digital) I often have kept at least a digital PS camera with me to get those "speedy" shots that I can't get considering of the time involved in setting up the shot in an SLR. My prior camera, the Minolta DiMAGE S414 had been receiving extended in the tooth and was beginning to glitch. A friend gave me his Nikon Coolpix E5200 and I was quickly hooked on Nikon's legendary imaging quality. But, the 5-megapixel sensor in the Coolpix E5200 was brief of what I certainly necessary, so the same friend who gave me the E5200 also let me attempt out his Coolpix L110. I was blown away with how nicely the pictures turned out! In my quest to purchase my own Coolpix L110, I had heard back in February that Nikon was releasing the Coolpix L120, with a 2-megapixel raise more than the L110 and various new capabilities. Having read the initial evaluations of the camera, it seemed like a sure winner, so I took the plunge on March 14th of this year and secured one particular for myself.

Instantaneously, I was hooked on it. Proper out of the box, this camera is a winner! The settings, user-interface, the sleek design and the nifty zoom selector on the lens barrel tends to make this camera worth each penny. In the short time I have owned it, I have currently taken approximately 1,200 photographs with it every thing from nature, bridges, even the sun! (with a solar filter, of course). And with its brilliant 21x optical zoom, I can photograph a vehicle at a great deal more than a quarter-mile away and be able to clearly read its license plate!

The only drawback I can see is that Nikon has left out the potential to manually control your aperture and shutter speed settings (instead, leaving that for the Nikon Coolpix P500 which I was unimpressed with). Having said that, those tiny shortcomings are overwhelmed by the simplicity this camera offers. Itching to get into Panorama photography, with out the want for an expensive SLR with built-in panorama stitching? Contemplate it accomplished! With this camera's Panorama-Assist function (which overlays a tiny portion of the image onto the screen for the next shot to be composed), and the supplied Arcsoft Panorama Maker Pro five software package, Panorama-style photography has never ever been a great deal more affordable. Searching to improve images with HDR-like color clarity? Take into account that completed, also! This camera supplies with it built-in D-Lighting that preserves the color intensity of an image however bringing out the details otherwise hidden inside dark shadows. Also supplied, incase you do not want to edit your pictures in-camera, is Nikon's personal View NX-two, which not only includes D-lighting enhancement filters, it also delivers a host of other image-editing capabilities!

In brief, this camera has the competition beat! I would advise it (I have the black version) more than anything else.

Bought this camera and loved the ease of operation and picture good quality. I also have the Panasonic DMC-FZ35, which is Really difficult. I necessary one thing easier. I learned to use this Nikon immediately after only 1 hour of reading the manual (compared to months nonetheless trying to figure out the Panasonic). Was effortless receiving superb photographs. Smile detection and Pet mode worked terrific. However, my primary cause for this type of hybrid camera, is for the convenience of camera and HD video in one particular unit. Video quality on this unit is nicely beneath average. I compared it to my Panasonic - no comparison. The Panasonic's video was smooth and clear, the Nikon - grainy and jerky. I seriously wanted to maintain this camera for it really is ease of use and picture good quality, but the poor video high quality ultimately induced me to return it. Till I come across an hassle-free to use camera with fine image and video, I'll continue with the months of trying to figure out the Panasonic.

PROS: Ease of use, great photos, smile detection, pet mode, easy to understand manual, cost.

CONS: Poor video high quality
