September 17th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

The Nikon COOLPIX L100 puts the power of a 15x telephoto zoom into a compact, easy-to-use design. A wide variety of images can be captured with the COOLPIX L100 from wide angle scenes (28mm) to telephoto (420mm). Ideal for family sports or travel photography the COOLPIX L100 can shoot up to 30 consecutive pictures at 13 frames per second. With the new Scene Auto Selector, the COOLPIX L100 automatically selects the appropriate scene mode for best results.

The Nikon Coolpix L100 is really a new super-zoom digital camera. This 10 megapixel design includes a 15x wide-angle zoom lens, supplying an equivalent focal variety of 28-420mm. 4 various anti-blur technologies ought to make sure how the vast majority of one’s images are sharp, with Sensor-shift VR, Higher ISO, Motion detection and Greatest Shot Selector all on provide. The L100’s new Scene Car Selector instantly picks the optimum Scene form for well-known photographic circumstances, although Simple Car form rally does make utilizing the Coolpix L100 a point and shoot encounter. There’s also a big 3 inch LCD display, 1cm macro form, smile, blink and face detection, plus a Sport constant shooting form that shoots as much as 30 3 megapixel constant shots at 13 fps. The Nikon Coolpix L100 expenses £239.99 / €269.00 / $279.95 – carry on reading to discover out when the Nikon Coolpix L100 deserves a location inside your camera bag.

Most from the camera’s rear panel is taken up through the three-inch LCD display, whose resolution is 230,000 dots – absolutely nothing unique but completely sufficient. The rear controls are restricted to some Shooting Form along with a Playback button, a regular four-way navigation pad, Menu and Erase buttons. The arrow buttons give fast entry to 4 oft-used functions, which thankfully consist of exposure compensation. The other 3 are the macro, self-timer and flash modes, even though as noted earlier, you’ve to by hand increase the flash in order to become capable to utilize the latter. A centred OK button is utilized to confirm modifications to configurations.


The Nikon Coolpix L100 is created to become an easy-to-use compact digital camera whose primary promoting points are a 15x zoom lens and sensor-shift Vibration Reduction (VR). The camera is component from the manufacturer’s ‘Life’ series, that is aimed at snap-happy point-and-shooters. This crowd, nevertheless, may be intimidated through the bulky look and ‘serious’ appears of the snapper, and also through the truth how the flash has to become raised by hand – some thing that experienced photographers will certainly like, but that might confuse the type of folks this camera is targeted at.

In the exact same time, people who currently know a point or two about photography are most likely to become place off through the deficiency of photographic manage more than the ISO sensitivity configurations. Although we have turn out to be accustomed to seeing cameras supplying no user entry to aperture and shutter speed, deficiency of ISO manage is some thing we hardly ever experience – and some thing we can’t approve of, for provided the little sensor from the camera, it can suggest that image high quality suffers even when it ought to not – e.g. when utilizing a tripod. And although the camera, becoming extremely automated as it’s, is definitely simple to utilize, you will find a couple of operational glitches that may make utilizing it a small frustrating at times. If you’ve study the Ease-of-Use section of the evaluation, you’ll know what we suggest.

And whereas a mixture of the 15x zoom lens and VR definitely place the Nikon Coolpix L100 nicely above the run-of-the-mill 3x zoom compacts that flood the marketplace, it regrettably belongs towards the most under-featured cameras inside the extremely competitive segment of superzoom cameras. If this was the very first item of the organization that’s just beginning up, I would most likely hail it like a promising begin – but an established and respectable manufacturer like Nikon ought to do much better, even if superzooms are nevertheless some thing of the novelty on its item palette.

    this camera uses rechargeable AA batteries.

    The battery issue is the only drawback about this camera, knowing that you have to use AA’s. I like the camera and it would be a great replacement for my Sony Cybershot.

    they say the Lithium batteries die too quickly after a lot of charges, so they make it 4 double A’s. there’s a certain kind of battery called nickel metal hydride (NiMH) which are designed for high output devices like digital cameras. I heard someone say that it doesn’t take rechargeable batteries but I really can’t say.

    Why doesn’t have a lithium Ion battery instead of those AA’s?

    no you can’t change the lens. I think that is mostly reserved for SLRs
