Consumer Evaluations
Following extensive investigation on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (a thing I call for), I settled on 3: 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 am not clueless either. However, this is my very first camera a great deal 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 significantly less highly-priced than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's value was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technologies on the L100 was much better. Amazon had the preferred price I could come across (besides some sketchy on the internet sellers).
Technology: This was a toughy. All three of these cameras have comparable technology (image stabilization, zoom, megapixels, face recognition, scene modes, and so on. and so on.) and each has one particular or two unique attributes that I located especially 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 quantity of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vibrant- to low- light situations and from many different distances, it will automatically adjust even more aspects of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I consider, would be specifically appealing to the minimally experienced photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with great photos.
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 highly lightweight. Although the s8100fd is of similar 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 quite bright, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Soon after playing around with the camera for a couple of days, here are some additional observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is particularly user-friendly and without difficulty navigable. No challenges there. Take ten minutes to read via the manual so you are conscious of all the menu selections.
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 functions rather nicely. As lengthy as you are in the perfect mode (read the manual for descriptions of situations you must pick the modes yourself) the camera takes absolutely focused and clear photographs, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is beneficial: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some many people do not like the SD card to be accessible in the exact same door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I don't get a situation with it. I bought an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the photos particularly rapidly.
Film MODE: You can zoom 2x whilst shooting video, which is good.
OTHER Attributes I LIKED: The Top Shot Selector is a unique feature that I like. It's just one more 1 of those incredibly beginner-friendly characteristics of this camera that will allow you to take outstanding shots with no getting to do a lot. The Sports continuous-shooting mode (shooting 13 frames per second) also functions well for action shots.
TAKING Pictures: Like I talked about before, I am not an experienced photographer. But I found that out of the box in the "Uncomplicated-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, qualified-looking images. As I started to play about with other attributes, I became even a great deal more impressed with the good quality of the photographs in a wide variety of lighting, distance, and movement circumstances. The High ISO mode captures movement Quite well! I to begin with tested it by waving my arm in the mirror as rapid as I could and taking photos, and the camera captured perfectly focused and crisp photos of me. This is the 1st camera I've ever used that truly captures fantastic movement shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and appear great. The flash is very bright, although I find I seldom have 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, including close objects in Macro Mode. Then again, from the dozens of evaluations I've read on other comparable cameras, this appears to be a normal situation. It really is also doable that I haven't played around with the camera sufficient to know how to circumvent the situation, but I nonetheless was a small disappointed.
General: This camera is affordable for it really is class, lightweight, has the most current technology, and is incredibly beginner- and user-friendly. It is the fantastic camera for an individual who wants some thing a great deal more than a fundamental point-and-shoot but doesn't want to invest the income on an SLR or the power attempting to figure out a even more complicated camera to get good shots. For those beginner to moderately skilled photographers debating amongst an advanced point-and-shoot and a SLR (like I initially did), you will be glad you got this over an high-priced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will price 3-4 occasions as considerably as this camera, and I am particularly pleased with the quality of the pictures I am acquiring with the L100. The Quick-Auto and Auto modes are fantastic and I believe most individuals will be highly pleased with the shots they will produce though in them, even if they never ever leave those modes. Even so, mastering all of the functions is hassle-free and hasn't taken me that lengthy, and my photos have looked significantly more and even more specialist the more I've played about with them. This is a good camera.
PS-I got the M-Rock Ozark 505 case for this camera and it fits it perfectly

Here is a video collage of pictures I took with this camera in Namibia - [...]
I thought I would emphasize the rechargeable battery given that Nikon just added it recently and some reviewers had been 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 lose their charge over time and you have to don't forget to recharge them when you get prepared to use your camera. I'd substantially 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 causes I bought this camera. I use it to do stop-motion shooting in the woods using toy action figures, also on a copy stand to copy greaseboard drawings for animation, and just for general photo shooting. This camera helps given that:
(1) It has a flat bottom and with a triangular footprint which signifies it will not fall over when you set it down. No tripod necessary. I put a flat piece of wood in between it and the ground to defend 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 5.7mm on the wide end. (The 75mm telephoto finish of the zoom is about as powerful as you can have and still keep steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double technique of vibration manage to aid prevent blurred shots.)
(three) The scene modes contain one named "Food" mode which is incredibly valuable to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts control of color balance on the arrow buttons exactly where you can simply 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 is very important for quit motion since you do not want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for each and every shot. Undoubtedly 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 applying any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(five) NIKON good quality. I tried this camera in the store and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a related-priced CANON produced a distinct grinding noise. The good quality even extends to the four manuals - a 134 page most important manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals fully duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover every single feature in clear detail. It took me two hours to learn the camera functions to my own satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Very easy AUTO" mode that calls for you to know nothing from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, possibly you ought to shop for a simpler 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 members, even the ones who do not want to know what color balance is.
(6) Maybe I am thinking illogically, but I believe that a significant lens takes superior images than a little lens... and this camera has a Significant lens. That implies 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 2 sets of four AA batteries and area for the SD memory card's case and perhaps a handful of extra smaller items.
To sum it up, the superior is high, the cost is low, and it takes awesome pictures in a range of circumstances with an simple and easy-ro-use operating system. If you want even more than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you happen to be a pro. :)
