Nikon Coolpix L100 10MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom: Customer Reviews & Product Details

I am not a professional photographer but I enjoy doing art photography and this camera is the right thing for me. Sofar I have not had any complains with it. I am happy. Maybe if one day I need to take very professional pictures I will think on something more in that direction . Bt for now it works perfectly for my purposes.

IT's OK but just OK. WE had another digital camera and it was much better. The software that came with this one was awful. If We could exchange it we would. The better software was offered for sale but after seeing the free stuff I did not purchase it. WE did not purchase any accessories. I also did not like the quality of the photographs. But thay may just be getting to know the camera. All in all it's just OK.

this is a really great camera to use and gives you the zoom that many small cameras do not give you as well as the wide angle. Also by buying it on Amazon I saved over 20.00 DOLLARS over other sites. I first went to a camera shop to check out how it looked and felt in my hand. It was a great buy and does so much more than some of the small cameras that cost more. it is well worth the money and a 5 star buy.

I can't recommend purchasing the Nikon CoolPix L100, - not even to my worst enemy. Especially not a good camera for any one time moments. You will be taking a dice roll with every shot, not a photograph. Too bad, it's a nice looking camera, nice lens, just junk internal works and cheap firmware apparently. Having owned and used the old reliable Nikon FG 35mm SLR (non-digital) for many years, and also a Nikon "One Touch" Zoom 90 (Digital "point and shoot"); I was really disappointed with the dismal image quality of the CoolPix L100. Nikon really has drastically lowered the quality of their products, if this is any example. I couldn't produce many decent photos indoors or out, most were not even close. Almost every single photo was either blurred, extremely grainy, or washed out, etc...and, Yes, that's both with or without the flash. Mostly, the photos were just plain out of focus. I read the manual, tried various and multiple different settings, then buckled down and methodically tried almost every setting in a massive effort to get one single halfway decent "near" closeup facial shot, but all for naught. So, I went to the store, got some film and took shots with my Zoom 90 just to get a few focused quality shots. Needless to say, I am sending the CoolPix L100 back immediately. Thanks goes to Amazon for their return policy. The sad part is, - I paid nearly $25.00, which is unrecoverable, to have this junker delivered the next day. Apparently, there's a lot of junk cameras out there nowadays, no matter whose name is on it, so buyers beware. After a lot of research, I'm now going for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35, 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black),...wish me luck!

If you are the type to set a camera to Auto, or on one of the presets like landscape, this is a really good camera. However, this camera is lacking a shutter priority mode and also an aperture priority mode that other point and shoots have.

The 15x zoom is helpful, but it is a wide angle zoom as opposed to a telephoto zoom. This can cause distortions by making foreground items much larger and distant items seem smaller. In most situations the zoom is real helpful, but it can be a problem in large vista landscape shots.

All in all this is a good camera, but I wish I had found the Coolpix P90 before buying. It would have served me better.
