Consumer Critiques
Just after extensive analysis on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (something I demand), I settled on 3: 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 seasoned photographer but I am not clueless either. Nevertheless, this is my 1st camera a great deal 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 drastically much less pricey than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's cost was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technologies on the L100 was better. Amazon had the very best price I could locate (besides some sketchy via the internet sellers).
Technology: This was a toughy. All 3 of these cameras have comparable technology (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, etc. etc.) and each and every has a single or two exclusive functions that I discovered rather desirable. 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 3 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 vibrant- to low- light situations and from diverse distances, it will automatically adjust a lot more elements of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I consider, would be particularly appealing to the minimally seasoned photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with superb pictures.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the store and it was just too heavy for my liking (a widespread complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is extremely lightweight. Despite the fact that 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 really vivid, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
After playing around with the camera for a handful of days, right here are some extra observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is especially user-friendly and easily navigable. No concerns there. Take ten minutes to read by way of the manual so you are aware of all the menu choices.
Style AND Really feel: It is not a slippery camera, which appears to be a complaint with some of the comparable cameras I've read reviews about. The buttons seem intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: This works particularly well. As lengthy as you are in the perfect mode (read the manual for descriptions of scenarios you must pick out the modes yourself) the camera takes absolutely focused and clear photos, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is very good: 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 come across a challenge with it. I bought an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the photographs quite immediately.
Film MODE: You can zoom 2x when shooting video, which is good.
OTHER Characteristics I LIKED: The Perfect Shot Selector is a unique function that I like. It's just another 1 of those very beginner-friendly capabilities of this camera that will enable you to take outstanding 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 Photos: Like I talked about before, I am not an seasoned photographer. But I identified that out of the box in the "Simple and easy-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, skilled-searching images. As I started to play about with other characteristics, I became even far more impressed with the excellent of the images in a variety of lighting, distance, and motion circumstances. The High ISO mode captures motion Extremely well! I 1st tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapid as I could and taking photographs, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp pictures of me. This is the initial camera I've ever employed that really captures excellent movement shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look good. The flash is exceptionally vibrant, despite the fact that I obtain I hardly ever 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. Nevertheless, from the dozens of evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this seems to be a well-known issue. It is also probable that I haven't played about with the camera enough to know how to circumvent the predicament, but I still was a tiny disappointed.
Overall: This camera is inexpensive for it's class, lightweight, has the most recent technology, and is very beginner- and user-friendly. It is the fantastic camera for somebody who wants something far more than a fundamental point-and-shoot but doesn't want to invest the money on an SLR or the power trying to figure out a a great deal more complicated camera to get good 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 expensive and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will price 3-4 instances as significantly as this camera, and I am pretty pleased with the high quality of the pictures I am obtaining with the L100. The Simple-Auto and Auto modes are wonderful and I believe most folks will be incredibly pleased with the shots they will create when in them, even if they never ever leave those modes. Still, studying all of the attributes is quick and hasn't taken me that lengthy, and my photos have looked a great deal more and even more expert the more I've played about with them. This is a fantastic 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 since 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 because they lose their charge over time and you have to recall to recharge them when you get ready to use your camera. I'd significantly 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 stop-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 helps since:
(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 needed. I put a flat piece of wood between 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 five.7mm on the wide end. (The 75mm telephoto end of the zoom is about as powerful as you can have and nonetheless maintain steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double program of vibration control to help stay clear of blurred shots.)
(3) The scene modes consist of a single named "Food" mode which is quite useful to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage of color balance on the arrow buttons 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 very important for quit motion for the reason that you don't want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for every shot. Definitely the Food mode is intended for close-up shooting of food, but it functions for me and my toys!
(4) 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.
(five) NIKON superior. 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 each manuals fully duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover each function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to learn the camera features to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Uncomplicated 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 must purchase a simpler camera if that's all you want from your camera, but with the "Effortless AUTO" mode you can share this camera with all loved ones members, even the ones who do not want to know what color balance is.
(6) Perhaps I am thinking illogically, but I believe that a massive lens takes superior photos than a little lens... and this camera has a Large lens. That signifies 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 two sets of four AA batteries and space for the SD memory card's case and possibly a couple of significantly more smaller items.
To sum it up, the top quality is high, the price tag is low, and it takes excellent images in a variety of circumstances with an simple-ro-use operating program. If you want extra than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you are a pro. :)
