2 Stars Bad image quality
I have used sony and canon cameras all my life. This was the first Nikon camera i got. Picture quality isn’t as great as others although some features seem to be neat.

Excellent camera for the cost. Would recommend it to anyone. Very easy to transfet to computer.
5 Stars Great product for the money – can use rechargable
Hi, I bought this item from Amazon for their Thanksgiving sale. I should say it is a great product for the money I paid. I have used several 3x optical zoom cameras earlier . So, as far as optical zoom is concerned, I love this.
Lots of features in it. People who rate tis item as “crappy” did not read the manual for sure.
We can use rechargable batteries as it comes with the 1.1 version firmware from Nikon. Even if your camera has 1.0 firmware, you can easily download and install the firmware with almost ultra low work effort.
I think most of te pieces sold by Amazon come with 1.1 firmware.It is decently liht in weight, easy to use and does great as far as focusing. it has all possible options to shoot all types of pictures.
I will continue to write more as I explore more and more territories in the camera….. Good luck!
5 Stars Nikon Coolpix L100
Excellent product and results. It takes awhile for a novice like me to learn the various functions and how to execute their commands but it’s amazing what this small camera’s capabilities are; particularly considering the price range.
4 Stars Great Camera
This is a Great Camera. I read the reviews after I purchased it. I agree that after you take it out of the box and just start shooting pictures, they may not come out very good. That is why you HAVE TO READ THE MANUAL! After reading the manual, I LEARNED how to take great pictures indoors, outdoors, low lighting, high lighting, it all does fantastic. The pictures with this camera are perfect! Very bright, sharp, detailed, etc. If you learn how, you wont have a dull colored picture.
Tip —- Inside pics can be taken in the Auto Mode, but NOT the Easy Auto Mode. Also make sure you use the flash.
Tip —- Very close up pics inches away, you should use the Micro or Macro mode. You can experiment with the flash.
At first I thought I got ripped off as the pictures looked terrible. After reading the manual, I learned how to take awsome, sharp, great looking pictures.
You just have to read and learn how to use all the options such as vibration, motion, etc.
This isnt a point and shoot camera. Thats why it cost more than a $89 camera. Its a high quality camera for a low price of around $200. I am very, very picky on picture quality. This camera does great!
So far, I think the battery life is better than the cameras I have had in the past that I paid just under $100 for. It does take 4 AA batteries rather than 2 batteries. You do not want to use rechargable batteries. Just get the lithium batteries for about $7 for a pack of 4, and they last a good long time for any family get together. If your on vacation, you can spend about $21 bucks and have about 3 sets for the whole week, even though you probably wont need them all.
I had a fujifilm finepix 5mp camera that took awsome picutes with 3x optical zoom. I traded it for a samsung 7mp 3x optical, but was disappointed. My new nikon coolpix 10mp 15 optical takes just as great pictures as my old fuji film, but I now get 15x opt. zoom.
I took a picture of our Christmas tree from across the room with my new Nikon and my guitar amplifier was in the picture. After I took the picture, I zoomed on on the picture (after it was already taken), and I could read the words on the amplifier knobs, from all the way across the room. That really blew me away!!!
If you are willing to read the manual and LEARN about the camera, then this is for you. IF your not into tech stuff and learning about how to use something (like my elderly parents), then get a cheaper low end camera.
