Look at this, we have a brand new camera from Nikon.
It's the Nikon Coolpix L100, great form factor
especially if you're the type of person
that doesn't like the little point and shoots,
you'd rather have a more grippy feel,
you want it to feel more like a professional camera
but maybe you don't need
all of the professional camera features.
You just want to take really good pictures easily,
the Nikon Coolpix L100 is probably going to fit the bill
pretty nicely. It is a 10 megapixel digital camera.
It has a 15x digital, um 15x optical zoom on it rather,
so you're going to be able to get in nice and tight
on your subjects. Really wide lens too, 28mm wide
when you're zoomed all the way out
with this particular camera.
It will do very very fast shooting as well.
We know that in order to capture fast moving subjects
it's important to sort of get out in front of the action.
This will actually take 30 pictures
at 13 frames per second
so you're never going to miss a moment.
If you're out trying to photograph
some fast moving subjects,
you're going to catch that moment without a doubt.
Has an automatic scene selector built in as well
so when you point and you frame up a picture,
it actually references a, it references a database
of photos inside the memory here
and tries to match it to one of those photos
in the database and immediately determines
which sort of scene mode the camera should be using.
3 inch high resolution display on the back.
Huge display that looks really really good,
I mean this thing actually looks really really fantastic.
Takes advantage of optical digital um,
optical image stabilization as well
which is going to make sure all of your pictures
come out rock steady. Performs very well in low light,
it'll go up to ISO 3200 and that's at a lower resolution
but it is going to make sure
that you can still get great pictures in lower light,
even if your subject is moving around.
640 by 480 movie mode,
and it has 44 megabytes of memory built in
so you're probably going to want to add
say I don't know, an SD card to this camera
because it's definitely going to need a little extra memory.
SD card actually goes in right here at the bottom,
as you can see, let me show you this.
It takes 4 AA batteries, so that's actually a good thing
because it means you never have to worry about
recharging that one single battery pack
or misplacing it or forgetting to charge it.
If you need your camera you just throw in some batteries.
And of course you can always use rechargeable batteries
with this. Your SD card slot is also located
underneath this trap door here.
I'm going to show you around the menu system
which is actually very simple. Don't let the form factor
of this camera sort of trick you.
This is not a super complicated, super advanced camera
by any stretch really. As you can see
on the back, the menu system is very very simple.
This is for selecting your resolution right here,
and so we're going to go ahead
and go with our high and wide screen photos here.
Getting to all of your camera functions
are as simple as going around this wheel here.
You can adjust your flash, you can adjust your exposure,
you can adjust your macro mode, self timer,
all of that is right in here.
Very easy to select all of your scene modes,
these are all of your various scenes here.
You can see that there are scenes
for just about any sort of situation you can get into
and of course these scene modes allow the settings of the camera
to match up with the situation that you are in.
So obviously if you are trying to take a picture
of a beautiful sunset, you're going to want to use
that sunset scene mode, but that's it.
I mean it's that easy to use.
Up at the top is you're going to find your shutter,
and your zoom rocker right up here,
power button is also up there at the top.
Pop up flash very easy to conceal,
very easy to turn off. You turn off the flash
just by pushing this thing down.
But that's just about it. You've also got
your USB port and your AV port right over here.
But it's a very easy camera to use,
it's going to take sharp pictures
and it's not exactly super expensive either,
so you're going to be able to have the flexibilty
of a camera you can really grip, really hold on to.
It's going to take pictures really really fast,
it's going to be able to do movies with all of this
and it's just going to be a nice addition
to your digital camera lineup, that's for sure,
especially with that nice long 15x zoom,
and that really wide 28 millimeter lit.
So this is a nice one, brand new.
It is the Nikon Coolpix L100, it's on the market right now.
