Client Critiques
Right after extensive analysis on advanced point-and-shoots that use AA batteries (something I need), 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'm not clueless either. Then again, this is my initially camera far more advanced than a basic point-and-shoot. So I'll call myself an informed beginner.
This is why I chose the L100:
Price: The L100 is drastically less overpriced than the SX10IS. The s8100fd's cost was comparable to the L100, but I felt that the technologies on the L100 was greater. Amazon had the perfect price I could discover (besides some sketchy web based 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. etc.) and each and every has one or two distinctive capabilities that I identified pretty appealing. 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 anything for you: the camera chooses the shutter speed, ISO, aperture, no flash or 1 of a number of flash modes, AND scene mode, which neither of the other cameras do. So from vivid- to low- light circumstances and from varied distances, it will automatically adjust extra elements of the shot than will the other cameras. This, I believe, would be specifically appealing to the minimally skilled photographer who just desires to click the button wherever they are and come out with fantastic photographs.
WEIGHT AND SIZE: I handled a Canon Powershot SX10IS at the retailer and it was just too heavy for my liking (a widespread complaint, from what I've read). The L100 is highly lightweight. Even though the s8100fd is of comparable weight, the L100 is slightly smaller in size, which I like.
Larger SCREEN: The 3 inch LCD is larger than the screens on the other cameras, it really is very vibrant, and it has a coating that reduces glare.
Soon after playing about with the camera for a couple of days, right here are some extra observations/impressions:
MENU: The menu is very user-friendly and simply navigable. No issues there. Take ten minutes to read through the manual so you are conscious of all the menu options.
Style AND Feel: It's not a slippery camera, which appears to be a complaint with some of the comparable cameras I've read reviews about. The buttons appear intuitively placed to me, and the camera feels balanced in my hand.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: This functions highly well. As lengthy as you are in the appropriate mode (read the manual for descriptions of situations you really should pick out the modes your self) the camera takes totally focused and clear pictures, even with an unsteady hand.
BATTERIES and MEMORY CARD: The battery life on this camera is beneficial: 900 shots with Li-Ion batteries. Some people today do not like the SD card to be accessible in the very same door as the batteries (like it is with this camera), but I do not acquire a issue with it. I purchased an Ultra II SDHC card for the camera and it processes the photos quite immediately.
Movie MODE: You can zoom 2x while shooting video, which is nice.
OTHER Features I LIKED: The Preferred Shot Selector is a exclusive function that I like. It really is just another one particular of those extremely beginner-friendly features of this camera that will allow 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 Photographs: Like I talked about ahead of, I am not an experienced photographer. But I discovered that out of the box in the "Effortless-Auto" Mode, this camera takes focused, sharp, professional-searching pictures. As I started to play about with other characteristics, I became even significantly more impressed with the good quality of the photographs in a selection of lighting, distance, and movement situations. The High ISO mode captures movement Quite well! I initial 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 very first camera I've ever applied that in fact captures good motion shots. Even at maximum zoom, the shots are focused and appear outstanding. The flash is really vibrant, even though I find I seldom 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, such as close objects in Macro Mode. Then again, from the dozens of reviews I've read on other comparable cameras, this seems to be a popular problem. It really is also feasible that I haven't played about with the camera sufficient to know how to circumvent the challenge, but I nevertheless was a little disappointed.
General: This camera is inexpensive for it really is class, lightweight, has the most recent technologies, and is particularly beginner- and user-friendly. It is the excellent camera for an individual who desires one thing extra than a fundamental point-and-shoot but doesn't want to spend the income on an SLR or the power trying to figure out a alot more 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 more than an high-priced and bulky SLR. A SLR with a 15x+ telephoto lens will expense 3-4 times as considerably as this camera, and I'm very pleased with the high quality of the pictures I am receiving with the L100. The Easy-Auto and Auto modes are exceptional and I feel most consumers will be extremely happy with the shots they will create while in them, even if they never leave those modes. Even so, finding out all of the characteristics is effortless and hasn't taken me that long, and my photos have looked even more and additional skilled the a great deal more I've played about with them. This is a great camera.
PS-I got the M-Rock Ozark 505 case for this camera and it fits it perfectly

Here is a video collage of images I took with this camera in Namibia - [...]
I thought I would emphasize the rechargeable battery given that Nikon just added it lately and some reviewers were saying the L100 couldn't use a rechargeable battery. It really 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 due to the fact they lose their charge over time and you have to bear in mind to recharge them when you get prepared to use your camera. I'd a lot rather just pop in a set of alkaline AA's. Then battery cost is about a penny a pic. I can afford that.
Here are the factors I purchased this camera. I use it to do quit-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 helps simply 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 needed. I put a flat piece of wood in 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 strong as you can have and nevertheless preserve steady with a handheld shot. This camera has a double method of vibration control to aid prevent blurred shots.)
(three) The scene modes contain 1 named "Food" mode which is quite helpful to me. It automatically switches to macro close-up lens and puts manage of color balance on the arrow buttons where you can easily 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's crucial for stop motion given that you do not want the camera automatically resetting the color balance for every single shot. Clearly 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 making use of any batteries for my in-the-studio shooting.
(five) NIKON quality. I tried this camera in the retailer and couldn't even hear the zoom operate. By contrast, a related-priced CANON made a distinct grinding noise. The good quality even extends to the 4 manuals - a 134 page major manual in English, a 20 page Quickstart manual in English, and then each manuals absolutely duplicated in Spanish as well. The manuals cover every single function in clear detail. It took me 2 hours to discover the camera features to my personal satisfaction, BUT, there is an "Simple and easy AUTO" mode that requires you to know nothing at all from the manual other than how to push a shutter button. Of course, maybe you should obtain a easier camera if that's all you want from your camera, but with the "Very easy 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 big lens takes improved photos than a little lens... and this camera has a Massive lens. That means you can't 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 4 AA batteries and area for the SD memory card's case and perhaps a handful of more compact items.
To sum it up, the good quality is high, the cost is low, and it takes amazing photos in a selection of scenarios with an uncomplicated-ro-use operating program. If you want additional than that, then get a reflex camera and pretend you're a pro. :)
