In the L31 can be the answer so: The L31 is intended for people for whom ease of use is very important to have little fumbling with charger and accessories and in which is the focus, the camera at the right moment with this to have.
In fact, there is at the L31 adjust almost nothing. Well, flash on or off, or to macro, exposure compensation has been around, but that was it already (apart from a few color effect options from times).
The commissioning is simple: batteries pure memory card in and finished the box. The batteries are perhaps the highlight of the camera, because you can buy in the world AA batteries anywhere. It saves so expensive batteries and the charger Kabelwirrarr. In addition to cost savings in the production of this simplicity is also likely again benefit people who want to have as little technical effort.
The pictures with the L31 in daylight are fuzzier than a three times as expensive Canon S200 recorded, only when shooting at night edges seem to me more frayed See the image below (Please:. Left the L31, the right a more expensive camera is. be. to a window frame cut-out shot from about 20 meters and has been greatly herausvergrößert of a large image) But here you have to look carefully. Looking at the pictures in whole size on the screen (15 inches) falls to a loss of sharpness NOT.
It has been here so technically left at Nikon carried away because you know that the L31 of people want to buy that view their images substantially at the screen, but are not gegrößern to DIN A2.
Just when sharpness-lover who would flirt with the "big" Equipment times with a Zeiss lens - considering the price of the camera, the focus is so fine - especially since the overall impression of the images (contrast, enjoy looking at) is similar as the pictures that have been made with more effort.
A slightly longer face do you get if you should judge the display. There are quite a few pixels available, so that the images ausschauen very poor and only once failed on the display. So let's just enjoy a homemade recording falls flat - here more expensive models offer clearly more quality.
You must change also reflected in the autofocus when it is a bit darker. Although the system works, but it takes quite a while until the image is sharp and the exposure setting will be shown on the display. I initially thought I had somehow changed the screen layout or the camera is defective - No, in low light you focus and how to determine the exposure takes a long time, about half a second. The L31 is the first camera in me this time noticed on skin.
The third drawback is the lock of the battery compartment, which also includes the memory card. The compartment is closed by a slide, which you must push to the outside and then he works like a hinge upwards. When closing the cover a small margin over the course of the camera body stops, quasi an edge that could result from handling, to the fact that the lid opens alone and herauspurzeln the batteries. One can indeed push the lid in position, but he will inevitably slip back towards the edge.
Included is a cloth bag that seems quite firm and so also provides some case protection. In addition, a wrist strap and USB cable. The connection to the PC was smooth.
For the cameras, I would therefore like to make a recommendation for the target group of single and opportunity clippers. The children can be, to be introduced in the field photography, but that may be even older people who do not have much with technology in his hat, but realize that is no longer manage with the analog camera today.
Professional people or quality gurus who include the line density should to make the camera more of a bow.
Given the low price would be 5 star sense, but because of the battery cover and the coarse resolution of the display being evil, I think 4 stars is appropriate.
