Client Critiques

For any individual searching at finding a decent, mid-level point-and-shoot with the appear and feel of an SLR, the Nikon Coolpix L120 is by far the top alternative, even with its couple of shortcomings!

As a semi-professional photographer who mainly shoots film (but is slowly converting to digital) I always have kept at least a digital PS camera with me to get those "speedy" shots that I can't get simply because of the time involved in setting up the shot in an SLR. My previous camera, the Minolta DiMAGE S414 had been getting long in the tooth and was starting to glitch. A buddy gave me his Nikon Coolpix E5200 and I was instantly hooked on Nikon's legendary imaging excellent. Still, the five-megapixel sensor in the Coolpix E5200 was brief of what I certainly needed, so the very same friend who gave me the E5200 also let me try out his Coolpix L110. I was blown away with how nicely the pictures turned out! In my quest to acquire my personal Coolpix L110, I had heard back in February that Nikon was releasing the Coolpix L120, with a two-megapixel improve more than the L110 and numerous new characteristics. Having read the initially reviews of the camera, it seemed like a sure winner, so I took the plunge on March 14th of this year and secured 1 for myself.

Instantly, I was hooked on it. Ideal out of the box, this camera is a winner! The settings, user-interface, the sleek style and the nifty zoom selector on the lens barrel makes this camera worth every penny. In the short time I have owned it, I have already taken around 1,200 photos with it every little thing from nature, bridges, even the sun! (with a solar filter, of course). And with its incredible 21x optical zoom, I can photograph a vehicle at even more than a quarter-mile away and be able to clearly read its license plate!

The only drawback I can see is that Nikon has left out the potential to manually manage your aperture and shutter speed settings (rather, leaving that for the Nikon Coolpix P500 which I was unimpressed with). Nonetheless, those compact shortcomings are overwhelmed by the simplicity this camera provides. Itching to get into Panorama photography, without the require for an high priced SLR with built-in panorama stitching? Consider it completed! With this camera's Panorama-Help function (which overlays a smaller portion of the image onto the screen for the next shot to be composed), and the supplied Arcsoft Panorama Maker Pro five software, Panorama-style photography has never been alot more reasonably priced. Searching to enhance photos with HDR-like color clarity? Think of that completed, also! This camera supplies with it built-in D-Lighting that preserves the color intensity of an image but bringing out the details otherwise hidden inside dark shadows. Also supplied, incase you don't want to edit your pictures in-camera, is Nikon's own View NX-two, which not only consists of D-lighting enhancement filters, it also offers a host of other image-editing capabilities!

In brief, this camera has the competitors beat! I would advise it (I have the black version) over anything else.

Purchased this camera and loved the ease of operation and picture quality. I also have the Panasonic DMC-FZ35, which is Extremely difficult. I necessary something easier. I learned to use this Nikon following only 1 hour of reading the manual (compared to months nonetheless trying to figure out the Panasonic). Was uncomplicated obtaining outstanding pictures. Smile detection and Pet mode worked terrific. However, my major purpose for this sort of hybrid camera, is for the comfort of camera and HD video in 1 unit. Video quality on this unit is well beneath common. I compared it to my Panasonic - no comparison. The Panasonic's video was smooth and clear, the Nikon - grainy and jerky. I honestly wanted to maintain this camera for it is ease of use and image high quality, but the poor video top quality ultimately caused me to return it. Till I find an easy to use camera with excellent picture and video, I'll continue with the months of attempting to figure out the Panasonic.

PROS: Ease of use, excellent photographs, smile detection, pet mode, quick to know manual, price tag.

CONS: Poor video high quality
