Customer Evaluations
Immediately after extensive research on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (one thing I require), I settled on 3: 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 experienced photographer but I'm not clueless either. However, this is my to begin with camera a lot more advanced than a basic point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.
This is why I chose the L100:
Expense: The L100 is drastically much less high priced than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's price tag was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technology on the L100 was improved. Amazon had the very best price tag I could obtain (besides some sketchy on line sellers).
Technology: This was a toughy. All 3 of these cameras have comparable technologies (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, and so on. and so on.) and every single has 1 or two distinctive characteristics that I located really 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 every thing for you: the camera chooses the shutter speed, ISO, aperture, no flash or one particular of a quantity of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vivid- to low- light situations and from several distances, it will automatically adjust much more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I assume, would be particularly desirable to the minimally seasoned photographer who just wants to click the button wherever they are and come out with fantastic images.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the retailer and it was just too heavy for my liking (a typical complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is pretty lightweight. While the s8100fd is of comparable weight, the L100 is slightly smaller in size, which I like.
Larger SCREEN: The 3 inch LCD is bigger than the screens on the other cameras, it is rather vibrant, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Right after playing about with the camera for a handful of days, here are some additional observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is incredibly user-friendly and quickly navigable. No complications there. Take ten minutes to read via the manual so you are aware of all the menu alternatives.
Design AND Feel: It is not a slippery camera, which appears to be a complaint with some of the comparable cameras I've read critiques about. The buttons seem intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: This works highly nicely. As lengthy as you are in the suitable mode (read the manual for descriptions of scenarios you need to opt for the modes yourself) the camera takes entirely focused and clear images, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is good: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some folks don't like the SD card to be accessible in the same door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I don't obtain a problem with it. I bought an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the photos quite immediately.
Movie MODE: You can zoom 2x whilst shooting video, which is good.
OTHER Characteristics I LIKED: The Finest Shot Selector is a distinctive function that I like. It is just yet another one of those rather beginner-friendly attributes of this camera that will let you to take amazing shots with no getting to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also functions nicely for action shots.
TAKING Pictures: Like I mentioned ahead of, I am not an seasoned photographer. But I identified that out of the box in the "Simple-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, professional-looking pictures. As I started to play around with other features, I became even significantly more impressed with the superior of the photos in a selection of lighting, distance, and motion situations. The High ISO mode captures motion Incredibly well! I initially tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapid as I could and taking pictures, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp images of me. This is the initial camera I've ever applied that really captures fantastic movement shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and appear fantastic. The flash is highly bright, while I acquire I hardly ever need 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, which includes close objects in Macro Mode. Nonetheless, from the dozens of evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a normal problem. It really is also doable that I haven't played about with the camera sufficient to know how to circumvent the difficulty, but I still was a tiny disappointed.
General: This camera is inexpensive for it's class, lightweight, has the most current technology, and is tremendously beginner- and user-friendly. It is the perfect camera for someone who desires one thing a great deal more than a standard point-and-shoot but does not want to spend the income on an SLR or the power trying to figure out a extra complicated camera to get great shots. For those beginner to moderately skilled photographers debating 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 cost three-four instances as considerably as this camera, and I am especially pleased with the superior of the photos I'm getting with the L100. The Straightforward-Auto and Auto modes are outstanding and I think most individuals will be highly pleased with the shots they will create though in them, even if they never leave those modes. Having said that, learning all of the features is straightforward and hasn't taken me that long, and my images have looked a great deal more and extra 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

Right here is a video collage of pictures I took with this camera in Namibia - [...]
I believed I would emphasize the rechargeable battery considering that 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 below "optional accessories". Personally, I do not like rechargeables considering that they shed their charge more than time and you have to bear in mind to recharge them when you get prepared to use your camera. I'd much 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 factors 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 general photo shooting. This camera aids simply because:
(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which implies it will not fall more than when you set it down. No tripod necessary. I put a flat piece of wood between it and the ground to guard it.
(2) 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 finish of the zoom is about as effective as you can have and nonetheless keep steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double method of vibration control to support keep away from blurred shots.)
(three) The scene modes consist of 1 referred to as "Food" mode which is really beneficial to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage 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 power off. That's significant for quit motion considering that you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each and every shot. Obviously the Food mode is intended for close-up shooting of food, but it works for me and my toys!
(4) There is an AC adapter for the camera, which I have ordered, so I will not be utilizing any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(five) NIKON high quality. I tried this camera in the retailer and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a similar-priced CANON produced a distinct grinding noise. The superior even extends to the 4 manuals - a 134 page key manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then both manuals entirely duplicated in Spanish as nicely. The manuals cover every single function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to find out the camera features to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Simple AUTO" mode that calls for you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, possibly you really should shop for a easier camera if that's all you want from your camera, but with the "Quick AUTO" mode you can share this camera with all family members, even the ones who do not want to know what color balance is.
(6) Possibly I am thinking illogically, but I think that a large lens takes far better images than a tiny lens... and this camera has a Massive lens. That means you cannot 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 two sets of four AA batteries and area for the SD memory card's case and perhaps a handful of more tiny items.
To sum it up, the top quality is high, the value is low, and it takes wonderful pictures in a selection of scenarios with an hassle-free-ro-use operating program. If you want additional than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you are a pro. :)
