I purchased the Nikon Coolpix L110 for your major reason of using images of my two children. They are usually not still subjects as well as the L110 is undertaking a good career in keeping up the pace with them. It pops-up in like a couple of seconds and is shooting rounds of photos at max resolution (12.1). That is for speed.

Broad angle and super-zoom are from the manual. What exactly is impressive is that at max zoom (digital zoom enclosed) – without having tripod – I reach take sharp photos. That's for graphic stabilization.

Right after ~500 pics and ~30 min of Hi-def video clip, the authentic AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are however totally functional. No warning yet.

Later on edit. I took all-around
- 1100 pics while using the original AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium (L91-FR6) power packs
- 400 photographs with some alcaline AA Energizer (LR6-E91-AM3) power packs
- 500 pics / recharge with some rechargeable Energizer AA 2450 mAh.
All photos had been taken at highest resolution as well as the flash fired for about 80% of those pics.

The stereo High definition video recording under the exact same hood is really a deal with. The greatest length for a single video session is 30 minute (regardless of SD capability) which is good for birthday parties and comparable.

Regrettably, this can be no digital camera cellular phone that you can slip right into a pocket until you need it. The only draw back I can see.
I check drove both Nikon Coolpix L110 and Canon SX200IS before I made a decision on Nikon. Size could be the only benefit of the compact vs bridge, though price tag is greater for that certain Canon.

L110 can be a trendy piece of products and an ergonomic one: I can effortlessly run it with only a person hand.
The menu is genuinely simple and intuitive… even to the feminine intuition…

All in all, a great camera and some perfectly invested dollars.
