The Nikon Coolpix L100 gives you extra zoom power while still retaining ease of use. Nikon has also kept the price of the camera down, so that it is available for less than the most advanced super zoom digital cameras.
The Coolpix L100 has 10 megapixels and a 15x optical zoom lens. The lens has wide angle capabilities as well as the more obvious telephoto qualities. Image stabilisation is available. This can be an important feature on heavier digital cameras with longer lenses and can help to produce sharper photos. The camera also has motion detection. This helps to compensate for the subject moving.
For composing photos and accessing the menu system there is a large 3 inch LCD screen. For close up work the Coolpix L100 is able to focus from 1cm away from the subject. Power is supplied by four AA batteries.
This camera is likely to appeal to anyone who is looking for extra zoom, but does not want to pay out for a digital camera offering an array of controls they are unlikely to use.
