Nikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 21x NIKKOR Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Black) (OLD MODEL)
- We\'ve had a few different compact cameras - mostly Nikon Coolpix compacts - and have loved the simplicity of a camera that reliably takes good pictures without a lot of fuss. I\'ve got cameras with more manual controls, but for most ordinary situations where we take photos with the family or outdoors on a walk the ease of a point-and-shoot compact is preferable. The problem is that many of these situations require a lot more zoom power than you\'d normally get with a compact (but where it\'s sometimes awkward to lug a big camera with a long lens and a tripod). Sometimes you just can\'t get very close, but you still need to get good pictures, and you still want a camera that\'s convenient enough to carry in a small bag or purse. School plays, soccer games, swim meets, even birdwatching. We wanted something that was simple to use, fairly inexpensive, but had a bigger lens with more zooming power than our older Nikon Coolpix. This meets our needs exactly. One of the main reasons we bought this was for my wife, a volunteer at a local bird sanctuary on the beach. She wanted a camera that she could use to shoot bird pictures, that gave her some serious optical zoom (21x!), but that wouldn\'t be too heavy to lug around. We went to an elementary school graduation the other day, for example, and with this camera we were able to get closeups of our daughter even from the back of the auditorium.It shoots very good pictures (as in, much better than you can expect from a camera phone, but not nearly as good as you\'d expect from a DSLR) and good quality HD video at 720p. The sound on the video is okay, but not great, so it\'s best for something you might include in a vacation album or something like that. I\'ve been quite impressed by its macro capabilities - and by how easy it is to switch into macro mode for extreme close up shots of bugs or flowers and the like. Pretty much the only manual controls you get here are the zoom and the flash (as in, you can decide whether or not to zoom and whether or not to use the flash). Beyond that, it\'s got the adjustments you\'d expect from a compact camera. You can select a scene type and the camera will make some adjustments for you, or you can set the exposure higher or lower than what the camera calculates, and you can select white balance as needed. We\'ve been quite happy with it. (One minor irritation: if you turn it on and you\'ve forgotten to remove the lens cap, you have to remove the cap and then turn it back off and then on again. My Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - the compact I tend to carry around, that doesn\'t zoom like this one - lets you just remove the cap and then press any button.)
- Although I do a considerable amount of commercial work (or perhaps because I do!), when I\'m out for the day with family or traveling, I want a camera that takes decent stills and video, has good zoom, a reasonably small form factor, and \"just-take-the-shot\" performance features.This camera does the job, and incidentally does fantastic close-ups. I mean really close-up. It has enough automatic modes that you can be very creative without needing a manual (as in, \"read the manual\") mode. In fact, a great deal of photographic creativity has nothing whatsoever to do with setting apertures and shutter speeds. (However, it is interesting that the camera does inform you what settings it\'s using for a shot.) I have another P&S, a Canon 500 HS, that gives me aperture and shutter priority modes, but I rarely use them - or need them - for lifestyle photography. Most of the time the Canon stays home because it has limited zoom, which is much more important for this type of photography than tweaking exposure settings. Plus, there\'s always a lot of creative things you can do with your photo editing software if you\'ve got a good shot to start with, and this Nikon will give you lots of good shots.The L120 isn\'t exactly a pocket camera, but it fits my belt pack just fine and I *rarely* carry a camera in my pocket anyway. It has a nice solid feel and a much better grip profile than most P&S cameras - more like a DLSR - and although I prefer knobs and dials from my old film SLR days, the touch screen is plenty fast and responsive.AF can be a little laggy, and at times the camera does seem to get confused about focus as some have mentioned. However, I find that releasing and re-depressing the shutter button halfway usually grabs the focus, and if not a quick off-on cycle takes care of things.Low light (indoor ambience, lamp light) performance is more than adequate. I like the flip-up flash (which separates it further from the lens axis than most P&S cameras), and it performs very well.Cycle on to first shot and shot-to-shot speed is just fine. The view/settings screen is quite sharp, although like most it does suffer some in direct bright sunlight.Video is just fine for this type of camera and casual short clips. Would I use it to shoot \"Gone With The Wind\"? Uh, no. The audio is also perfectly adequate - again, you\'re not working with a boom mike.It\'s a huge bonus that this camera runs on normal AA batteries, too. Although it seems to be pretty economical with battery life, there\'s nothing like being able to run into any 7-11 store (or most places in the world, for that matter) and get batteries if you need them. If you\'ve ever run out of those precious electrons while traveling, you can appreciate this.NO camera is everything to everybody, or even everything that any one person might want. But for a camera that you can really use but that doesn\'t take you \"out of the moment\" fiddling with settings, this Nikon is my all-time grab-and-go favorite, hands down.
