The Nikon Coolpix L100 is a semi-compact digital camera introduced by Nikon Corporation in 2009 as part of the Nikon Coolpix series. It belonged to the "Life" series of Nikon digital cameras, which were intended for beginner and amateur users. It was replaced by the Nikon Coolpix L120 in 2011.
Description
[edit]The Nikon Coolpix L100 provided good results without the operator needing to acquire professional-level skills. The L100 still is a good choice for beginners and amateurs. With an optical zoom of 15x, it is an improvement over older compact digital cameras that generally had a maximum optical zoom of 5x. The Nikon Coolpix L100 competed against the Sony DSC-H20 and Canon Sx120, which have similar configurations and were available at similar prices.
