Client Evaluations
Right after extensive analysis on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (one 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 assessment is coming, I'm not an experienced photographer but I'm not clueless either. However, this is my very first camera a lot 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 considerably much less highly-priced than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's price was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technologies on the L100 was far better. Amazon had the top price I could find (besides some sketchy online 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 has one or two distinctive characteristics that I found highly 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 a single of a number of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vibrant- to low- light scenarios and from different distances, it will automatically adjust alot more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I feel, would be specially appealing to the minimally knowledgeable photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with awesome images.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the retailer and it was just too heavy for my liking (a frequent complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is very lightweight. Although the s8100fd is of comparable weight, the L100 is slightly smaller in size, which I like.
Bigger SCREEN: The 3 inch LCD is bigger than the screens on the other cameras, it is especially vivid, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
After playing around with the camera for a couple of days, here are some extra observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is highly user-friendly and easily navigable. No challenges there. Take ten minutes to read via the manual so you are aware of all the menu alternatives.
Design AND Feel: It really is not a slippery camera, which seems to be a complaint with some of the comparable cameras I've read evaluations about. The buttons appear intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: This works pretty nicely. As lengthy as you are in the correct mode (read the manual for descriptions of situations you must opt for the modes yourself) the camera takes fully focused and clear photographs, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is fantastic: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some 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 acquire a issue with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the images extremely quickly.
Film MODE: You can zoom 2x even though shooting video, which is nice.
OTHER Functions I LIKED: The Most effective Shot Selector is a exclusive feature that I like. It really is just an additional one of those pretty beginner-friendly capabilities of this camera that will let you to take outstanding shots with out having to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also functions nicely for action shots.
TAKING Pictures: Like I talked about prior to, I'm not an skilled photographer. But I discovered that out of the box in the "Uncomplicated-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, skilled-searching images. As I started to play about with other attributes, I became even far more impressed with the excellent of the pictures in a wide variety of lighting, distance, and motion situations. The High ISO mode captures motion Particularly nicely! I initial tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as quick as I could and taking photos, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp images of me. This is the to begin with camera I've ever applied that essentially captures remarkable movement shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and look terrific. The flash is tremendously vibrant, though I obtain I hardly ever want 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. However, from the dozens of evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a standard dilemma. It is also feasible that I haven't played about with the camera adequate to know how to circumvent the problem, but I nonetheless was a little disappointed.
General: This camera is affordable for it is class, lightweight, has the latest technology, and is exceptionally beginner- and user-friendly. It is the great camera for somebody who desires a thing even more than a simple point-and-shoot but does not want to spend the dollars on an SLR or the power trying to figure out a extra complex camera to get superb shots. For those beginner to moderately skilled photographers debating in between an advanced point-and-shoot and a SLR (like I initially did), you will be glad you got this more than an highly-priced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will expense three-four times as much as this camera, and I am highly pleased with the superior of the images I am obtaining with the L100. The Painless-Auto and Auto modes are remarkable and I think most men and women will be rather content with the shots they will generate although in them, even if they never leave those modes. Nonetheless, studying all of the characteristics is very easy and hasn't taken me that long, and my photographs have looked additional and extra expert the a great deal more I've played about with them. This is a amazing 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 lately 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 beneath "optional accessories". Personally, I do not like rechargeables considering they shed their charge over time and you have to keep in mind 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 causes I bought this camera. I use it to do cease-motion shooting in the woods applying toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for common photo shooting. This camera assists mainly because:
(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which means it will not fall more than when you set it down. No tripod necessary. I put a flat piece of wood in between it and the ground to protect 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 end. (The 75mm telephoto finish of the zoom is about as effective as you can have and nevertheless preserve steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double program of vibration control to help steer clear of blurred shots.)
(3) The scene modes include things like one known as "Food" mode which is pretty valuable to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage of color balance on the arrow buttons exactly where you can easily adjust it. Then, whatever color balance you set stays in memory (just for the Food mode) till the subsequent time you use Food mode, even if you turn the power off. That's valuable for cease motion because you do not want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each shot. Of course 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.
(5) NIKON excellent. 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 excellent even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page key manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals totally duplicated in Spanish as nicely. The manuals cover every function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to study the camera functions to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Effortless AUTO" mode that requires you to know absolutely nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, maybe you must acquire a simpler camera if that is all you want from your camera, but with the "Hassle-free AUTO" mode you can share this camera with all household members, even the ones who do not want to know what color balance is.
(6) Maybe I am thinking illogically, but I think that a huge lens takes far better images 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 tiny 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 maybe a handful of even more smaller items.
To sum it up, the high quality is high, the cost is low, and it takes amazing photos in a assortment of situations with an quick-ro-use operating program. If you want a lot more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you happen to be a pro. :)
