    Is nikon coolpix p100 a good camera?
    lyman.batz
    about 2 years ago
    The Nikon Coolpix P100 produced images of good but not spectacular quality during the review. While the photos were generally sharp, this was partly down to in-camera sharpening (edge enhancement). High-frequency, low-contrast detail was often smeared by noise reduction, even at relatively slow ISO speeds.

A compact super-zoom digicam with support for Full HD video capture plus high-speed photo and video shooting modes.Released a year after the Coolpix P90, Nikon's Coolpix P100 is a next-generation super-zoom model with the same SLR-like styling as its predecessor. However, it adds some features and special shooting modes to attract a wider range of potential purchasers. Although sensor resolution has been (sensibly) reduced, the zoom range is longer and the adjustable LCD monitor has higher resolution.

Nikon Coolpix P100 Review

[Rating: 4] Every camera has limitations. It’s inherent in all products. Sacrifice one aspect for another, like higher quality materials for a higher price or less functionality. With superzooms, quality usually falters because a good zoom lens is expensive. Many wonder why bother spending so much when low-end DSLRs barely cost more. As camera technology progresses, those inherent weaknesses dissipate and prices become more attractive. Quality improves, only sacrificing the time it took to research those improvements. If you’re looking […]

I fondly remember earlier digicams like the Coolpix 5400 way back in 2003, complete with 5.1 million pixels, a 4x zoom lens and a vari-angle LCD viewfinder. Dirt cheap at AUD1599! In terms of the Coolpix 5400, the new Nikon Coolpix P100 is definitely retro style-wise, with a severe kick up the tech specs posterior! […]
