Nikon Coolpix L18

One of the fastest point-and-shoots we have seen, the Nikon Coolpix L18 is a lot to offer, such as a huge 3-inch LCD, 23 MB of internal storage, and you can zoom at the same time Shooting the video. It comes with its share in the comments, but as a general rule, Microsoft recommends that this camera.

L18 is approximately the same size and shape as the Panasonic DMC-LS 80% but more rounded corners and fewer buttons. The Zoom lever is also behind the shutter button instead.Camera status, and buttons for playback on the top of the rear of the camera is placed inconveniently. we wish, on the other hand, also were on the side of the memory card slot instead of at the bottom of the list.

We love 3-inch LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD). it is a great, sharp and bright, and you can choose whether you want to start the standard welcome screen Show favorite picture or display settings menu icons or text. Most users will want to select text, because many icons feeling.

Only a handful of controls, commands, and menus on Nikon Coolpix L18 is one of the easiest cameras. Simply enable it, select one of the four modes of operation — auto, Scene, Movie settings in the Automatic mode — and start Shooting. It is also very easy to adjust the settings, but the number of options is limited to somewhat.

Yet in all modes of transport, you can specify the macro and the exposure compensation and activate the self-timer. If the switch is a unified framework for ammutut, you can also specify five flash option. Only possible for automated plant functioning in automatic mode, you can select the resolution, white balance, shot selector and color settings. Select the Automatic settings, press the menu button or Scene and ignore these options were, my strength entirely failed me, and displays only the settings, even if the Scene also allows you to select the resolution. L18 offers 11 Scene selections.

The properties of the facial recognition L18 technology, even if it does not have a user-controlled option. Most of the shot on the premises it is always active, and works well.The camera is not, however, the optical image stabilization. Instead, it automatically adds the ISO and Shutter speed when it detects motion. [1] [2] This reduces blur, but it also makes it possible to reduce the image quality.

This point-and-shoot is the fastest we've seen.It starts up laukaisupainiketta 1,2 seconds, and a single rate of duty, and the Flash ammutut with its frame to 1.5 seconds, the continuous Shooting mode that., it can be used to frame 1.3 seconds until you turn off your finger instead of shutter or the memory is full (However, the focus remains unchanged).L18 is also a Multi-shot 16-selection, which describes a single frame 16 small pictures only one second — a good golf or tennis swings for analysis.

L18 image quality has been mixed with exposure to Our landscape shots. [1] [2] was a little dark, colors, muted and nothing was really sharp and crisp.Our available light shots indoors was a little blue votes.However, the out of Office Assistant and action shots sharp and very vulnerable to an excellent color.

We were impressed with the quality of the video and the L18 how easy it was to be shot of the movie. [1] [2] Videos IN VGA (640 x 480) resolution at 30 fps as a whole and 320 x 240 at 30 fps and 15 fps. Kodak EasyShare M863/md863 with you to the optical zoom at the same time, the L18 's filming. Videos were free and very vulnerable to jerk, but you have a camera and both hands and hold the zoom level in order to prevent jitter.

We had a very fun, Nikon Coolpix L18. Similarly priced Casio Exilim EX-Z9 is a versatile and sophisticated, but is not limited to, the L18 is fast shooter. you can not get connected to interfere with the smooth running of the options and parameters, and at the end of the day, you get good stills and videos.

Nikon Coolpix P6000

Geotagging photos — on the market place, where they have been taken map — has always been compromises. At the beginning of the days it is intended by dropping the digital map onto the images manually. In recent times has noted, the WiFi triangulation by invoking (that does not follow you everywhere, such as the GPS does not), or in addition to the cumbersome equipment toting your camera. But the Nikon Coolpix P6000 squeezes the actual GPS receiver geotags photos that have been carried out in all workstations and the ground, Chunky body inside. Unfortunately, getting our pictures accurately geotag the camera was difficult, and while it is not terrible, image quality, there was no other than what you get with Nikon cameras of the stars.

Take a camera with integrated GPS receiver has drawbacks. 8.5 Ounce and 1.7 cm thick, Coolpix-P 6000 is much bulkier than your typical point-and-shoot. However, the lending superzoom and DSLR category, which offer the money more advanced features some of the design elements. The first is low, rubbery handle on the left side.Then there is a pop up Flash hot shoe for external Flash and optical viewfinder, which allows you to even when the LCD is turned on, however, part of the eye. [1] [2] is so small that we had were picture-seemed to squint.

On the other hand, 2.7-inch LCD is one of the best features of the Coolpix P6000. We had no problem, it will be interesting to see in daylight and contributes significantly to the 230,000 pixel resolution, all we framed Live View looked sharp and liquid is not unlike the experience of watching something in high-def TV.LCD (liquid crystal display) on the left is a function, manual focus, myPicturetown, playback, and the menu buttons on the right is a five-way. [1] [2] part of a navigational watch pad, which controls Flash, self-timer, focus and exposure. P6000 is also Delete and options buttons, as well as one of releasing the pop-up Flash.

In addition, Coolpix P6000 Flash-metal mode dial-up connection reinforced with rubber, the zoom controls attached to the shutter button, the command dial-up connection and a small power button. The camera is also covered, DC-and A/V-out ports, as well as an Ethernet port (for more information about that later). 

Switch to the on screen menus using the Coolpix P6000 five ways played a part of a navigational watch pad easy.Each menu page is in the left pane, icons, each of which represents a different category, such as Shooting menu, highlight the icon, and then move on to the Other. [1] [2], vasemmalletoisin when you scroll up and down you can move through the new icon class oheisvaihtoehtoja-highlighting. It is also important to know, does not have a main menu; You can use the GPS settings, for example, you need to turn the GPS, mode-dial-up connection first.

What makes the Coolpix P6000, so innovative (and pricey) is that it houses the actual GPS receiver, which specifies the location, as long as you are a member of the transport routes and the ground (if you go to the underground, or indoors in the extension of the last known location later photos).

This is a huge departure from other Geotagging devices on the market. Eye-Fi explore THE SD Card, used, for example, WiFi triangulation geotag of images, which means if you does not contain 90 feet Skyhook configured router, your photos are not geotag. Pharos Trips and pics, the gap is a small GPS receiver, but the charge and runs in parallel with the camera. Coolpix-P 6000 is currently the only solution that does not require users to tote for extra hardware and which can also track to the remotest corners of the country.

-Coolpix P6000 GPS ran out of the box is not enabled, because it is detrimental to the battery. Specify a dial-up connection to the GPS status-and Geotagging within menu options.There you can also customize how often you want the camera to update its location (you can do it as often as every 15 seconds, or rarely every two hours). When enabled, the GPS receiver update location, even if the camera is not turned on the camera takes up to 2. hours initially to determine customer deliverables. The timing of the purposes we have decided to stay the GPS menu until it read "GPS Updated."But users can go to taking photo mode and view the GPS icon to see if they are in possession of a service on your screen.

Our Geotagging received a bad start.We began our photos are downloaded Google Picasa, highlighting them as a batch, and then click the Geotag, which launched the Google Earth.We want to make the Google Earth map of the pictures we must immediately be; Unfortunately, it could these images close to Lawrence, Kansas, when we actually took them in New York.

Make sure this error was Google Earth — not Coolpix P6000 n — then we load our photos on Flickr and myPicturetown, which may also be associated with the photos.They, too, to invest our pictures, Lawrence.In particular, in the absence of Flickr and Picasa both set precisely our photos geotagged Eye-Fi explore THE SD Card, we chalked this error by the camera.

Undeterred, we can retain their number (s) to try the camera must be able to 21st. [1] [2] the floor of the building of the New York Office of the US GPS data update, it may turn off the coast of Kenya our location at a later date, we took the Coolpix.-P 6000-Jersey City, New Jersey, where even the outdoor camera was having problems searching for GPS signal. when we have been able to obtain the correction, the camera place again in Lawrence, Kansas in our location.

When Nikon send us the new unit, we had the City Park, the empty sky, in the middle of the US, and you clicked the Update GPS settings and 2 minutes and 55 seconds, when we have received a message that said, the upgrade is complete. [1] [2] when we pass by the geotagged our on-the-spot checks, that the same, and Picasa as well as bring myPicturetown they in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

In fact, Nikon, whose headquarters are in New York, said its staff has had problems with the city of signal receiving (although this cannot be explained by the random locations). Long story short: you may be able to more problems getting signal in urban areas. [1] [2] We show that, instead of going directly to the image mode, and on the basis of the assumption, GPS works in the background, than ever to stay connected to the GPS mode, make sure that the camera has been successfully configured location.

Nikon Coolpix P80

But not to the superzoom cameras are for everyone, large for people who love taking photos, outdoor and sports events. They are also ideal for seriously folks who either cannot afford to — or too intimidated to digital SLRs — blown completely. Such as DSLR Nikon Coolpix P80 18 X ($ 399) is a powerful properties of glass and manual aplenty, but it is smaller and easier to use. Add an excellent image quality and burst Shooting and you have yourself one of the most versatile digicam.

You will find information about the P80 first — after its huge lens housing — is that it is surprisingly lightweight. 12.9 Ounces is lighter than 15, 9-Ounce Canon PowerShot S5 IS, which is only 12 X lens.P80 DSLR Chunky shape, displays the rubbery grip and I am looking for a hand, but the lens is low, taking into account the 18 X zoom factor (less than two inches long when turned off) at the top you will find the power switch,. mode dial-up connection and shutter, zoom with attached to manage Change.

We had the opportunity to see a bright 2-inch LCD monitor 7, even is the direct sunlight. Menus, playback, display onscreen settings, deleting buttons in parallel, content, and switching between the viewfinder and the LCD. A four-way navigation pad doubles in Flash, self-timer, macro, exposure, and controls.We had no problem this control allows you to navigate the menus; exit menus requires simply by pressing the, that is to say, the playback or menu button a second time. Compared to the S5 IS, whose vanun is full of buttons, P80 layout is simple to master.

P80 trimming mode dial-up networking includes the units for auto, programmed auto, Aperture priority, auto, Shutter Bar-Translator automatic, manual, Sports, Movie, Scene in the continuous and, in particular, the three auto settings. space selection is wide, not good and you are a beginner, advanced and all photogs. However, the choice of transport modes 11 scene is relatively small; P80 $ 349 of the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ 18, another 18 X Zoom camera is 18 scene modes, as well as the intelligent scene detection automatically select the correct mode.

The zoom Switch produces jerky movement of the lens and make it difficult for the subtle depth adjustment. That said, this is one of the powerful zoom. 35 Mm camera equivalent to 27-486mm lens skyscrapers at the same time, we will help you get the top edges of the frame shots in full accordance with the opinion of the standing in the street. Closer to the ground, we can draw up a second away from New York City's Bryant Park, which takes about two city blocks sitting man in the face.

As the point-and-shoot P80 of beautiful images with a lively and accurate colors. Our macro shots showed a lot of details, even the shadows and we love how the macro icon changes on the screen, in order to demonstrate that the lens is so close to the target color.This sufficient lentäjiensä backlit situations, but we wanted to see a separate dynamic range technology offered by Fujifilm, property, Panasonic and Sony, inter alia, that, especially in the lens. [1] [2] this versatile technology highlights and shadow detail designed would have been useful. Instead, the P80 is d-Lighting feature that can help you improve the highlights and shadows in after you took the picture (you can see the before and after the side-by-side before you click OK).

We do not, such as impressed with your performance a little light-P80. Taking pictures in auto mode, produced by the blurry dimly lit room while we sat pictures — down to the steady shot (by analogy to the FZ18 delivered a noisy shots past ISO 800).When we are in the space of the party, the second 11 scene-the status of our pictures became sharper but was still the warm and romantic lighting.

The biggest part of the optical image stabilisation, P80 and vibration reduction does, what it is supposed to produce sharp images: even when a subject or a photographer's hands are placed. When it became rapidly moving scenes, even though the Auto mode does not cut; We are still noticed a good deal with the motion blur.The following types of situations as they arise, Nikon has Sports Continuous status, which lasts for a period of not more than 13 frames per second (up to 30 frames) when you can manually reduce the amount of 3 megapixels. You can still enjoy this feature in the full-resolution; just does not get as many shots per second.

We are more than 30 consecutive shots, in 3 Georgian RedBrick town houses which tries to avoid scurrying passing oncoming traffic, the man took the and ended 30 freeze-frames for you to choose from.When you shoot in front of your eyes, will slow down the movement of the screen.30 Shots processing 10 MP lasted for 15 seconds;It is not so effective, taking into account the fact that the Casio EX-F1 can handle 60 shots (6) once in the same amount of MP — but then again EX-F 1 cost more than twice as much., when you view the Annoyingly these photos in playback mode, you can browse through them one at a time.We wish Nikon would, as well as with the Casio EX-F1 — organize consecutive shots in the same folder so that users cannot override them in the past 30 with a single click.

Our VGA video showed liquid movement and accurate sound, but sounded weak in a noisy in the room, not as good as the Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS that HD recording louder voice in order to provide you with information, even if it would be in the midst of heavy environments.You will not be able to use the optical zoom during filming;You can set the zoom feature, where you want it, before you start burning. However, you can use the digital zoom (only 2 X) at the same time, characterization, who is still more than many other cameras allows you to make, in addition to it we had ... gave us, leverage will be satisfied, even though it paled we still shots we received 18 x, as compared to the Nikon says the region., users will not be able to move the Optical zoom of the movie mode, since this made it difficult to keep the camera still, while filming.

P80 revealed decent startup speeds — just 2 seconds to ready itself to its first picture. However, the 4 seconds it took for a continuous period of shots (when use Sports Continuous mode), which is slower in performance from the days of Shooting in close proximity between. sata images, including a few burst in the computerized file of consignments of the battery was still going strong.

Nikon Coolpix P80 lightweight body inside is a versatile camera ingredients: a powerful 18 X zoom lens, optical image stabilisation, much of the manual features and highly effective Sports Continuous mode for Low light Shooting burst. performance and limited zoom Movie mode have drawbacks, but it is still in the process We've tested the best Super zooms. If the previous step and, more generally, whether you're a beginner, you do a lot of Shooting outside the P80 $ 399 price tag is one of its values.
