Significant improvement over its predecessor, the 34 times are the long zoom and the foldable display L820. The 1 / 2.3 inch BSI CMOS sensor has a resolution of 16 megapixels.
The really good display, with a very good for this price range resolution of 921,000 pixels is foldable upwards 90 ° and downwards by 85 °. I like that very much, because especially in larger gatherings or other events with many people you often have to take pictures over their heads. For solid displays then one snaps into the blue, now you can see his motive. Even when baby or animal photographs on the ground, you have to not to throw to see his motive. Folded up the screen and is good. Thanks to the wide viewing angle you can see his motive always clear. In addition, the monitor has 6 brightness settings, even in sunlight can clearly see everything. Only in direct sunlight, as it is then but dimly.
The glass of the display is, as with a film camera, always visible. Completely fold like eg the Panasonic G3 can not be. But which also plays in a different league. Therefore, and because it very quickly smeared with fingerprints, it has got a protective film.
The optical and image-stabilized 34x zoom equivalent in small picture format of a focal length from 22.5 to 765 mm. That is enormous. The pimple on the ladybug nose is no longer a problem ;-)
The 5-axis hybrid image stabilizer is a combination of Vibration Reduction (VR) with a lens shift and Electronic VR to improve stability and blur reduction. It works perfectly, even at full zoom 34 times the photos are from the hand clearly. The Digital Dynamic Fine zoom goes up to 68 times (3,060 mm in small picture format). Since one should however pick up the tripod.
The zoom can be used both sides of the lens, as well as use by a lever on the trigger button. Thus, both DSLR and small-screen clippers maintain their habit.
With a maximum aperture of F3 to F5,9, the Nikon is a little weak on the chest. In low light, should not the zoom fully exploit because there is a danger that the results shake.
In macro mode shooting from 1cm distance are possible. The adjustable light sensitivity of the sensor can be set between ISO 125 and ISO 3,200.
A very important criterion in my cameras is the shutter speed. On vacation, at parties, with friends and family, the camera must point and shoot quickly, otherwise the moment / the subject away. And she has, snapshots are not a problem, fix it is ready. Continuous shooting up to 6.7 they can frames per second for five images in a row.
The results of the camera are really recommended. They are clear and sharp, only at extreme zoom and low light they are sometimes at the edges slightly rauschig.
The Digital Zoom I use only with stand or wall a etc., out of hand, the results are indeed recognized, but not presentable.
The camera is made for beginners, leisure and holiday photographer. Switching on, press the button and get a good result. That's what the Nikon is done and also very good.
There is little that can be set on the camera.
Who wants to influence its outcome, which may choose one of the many scene modes. Here are Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, Indoors, beach, snow, sunset, dusk, night scene, close-up, Food, Museum, Fireworks show, Black and white copy, backlight, Easy panorama and Tierporträt available. There is also a choice of Easy Auto Mode, Effects, smart portrait mode and automatic.
Panoramic Photos can be recorded with either 180 degrees or 360 degrees complete. Class, so eliminates the costly later editing on a PC. The 30 effects offered such as miniature view, selective color, star effect or sepia tint, can be applied even on the pictures both before triggering or even later. Impact on the shutter speed or aperture you can not take the Nikon, which govern the scene modes.
Portrait photos is made easier if the Blink (alerts you when someone had their eyes closed when shooting), the Smile timer (triggers in the moment when the subject smiles) and the glamor retouch.
You can of course films, namely Full HD with 1920x1080 pixels with up to 30 frames or 60 fields per second and with stereo sound. During the filming of the optical zoom can be used. The movies are stored (AVC compressed H.264 / MPEG-4) as MOV files. However, as I prefer to take a camcorder for filming, I hardly use this feature of Nikon.
Your power she gets on 4 AA batteries. Is environmentally a disadvantage, but has the advantage that you can get anywhere easily spare batteries.
As connections it brings a USB2 interface, an audio / video output and an HDMI output. So photos and films can also be viewed on the same TV.
She brings a hand strap, 4 batteries and a USB cable.
The offered different housing colors are a matter of taste. Our red is something else than the unity of black and conventional cameras and like each of the family.
Thus the good piece does not have to be defenseless in a backpack or pocket, she got the Cullmann 95980 Lagos S Vario donated 250 pocket. If I have a little bridge camera, should not be lost by a huge bag again this advantage.
Conclusion: A huge zoom camera, especially suitable for beginners and top-Los-clippers, which provides fast and good, sharp results without major adjustments.
