The Multizoom- and bridge cameras apply a little as the "egg-laying Wollmilchsäue" the camera market. They combine many advantages of compact cameras with the characteristics of a DSLR. They are usually very compact, but have over the "normal" digicams an enormously larger focal range. In the case of the Nikon this goes from 22mm in wide angle to 765mm at the telephoto end. Translated to a DSLR equipment means an enormous weight advantage and of course, a fraction of the investment. Of course, the picture quality can not compete with a DSLR. Nevertheless, the bridge cameras have increased significantly here. For example, what is a Panasonic FZ200 beats to disk quite impressive. I was curious how the Nikon suggests. But even from the beginning.
The Nikon is like its predecessor a beginner's camera in the Multi Zoomer segment. You mention bridge camera is not quite right, you control concept is still very designed for automation. Whereas Bridge models provide full control over the image parameters, such as speed, aperture, etc. AWB. Nikon is synonymous with quality when it comes to photography. The well-made L makes the first impression a good figure. The color is a matter of taste. The design is a bit old-fashioned and the red makes the L bit chubby. The handle fits. Of course, the front dominated by the lens. Focal length must also somewhere. The back is very tidy. In this price range a folding, moreover, to find a really good display that surprised me. very commendable. In addition to Fuji and Pentax Nikon is the only brand that supports the firing with AA batteries. Anyone who has had to travel acute power shortage, is pleased about each kiosk with 2A batteries. That's really awesome. My tip to: Sanyo Eneloop batteries. They have hardly any self-discharge.
As already mentioned, the Nippon menu is very trimmed to automation. The Nikon designs not here for the first time a camera control shows. Everything is somehow logical and also easy to find. Incidentally, this applies not only to already possess a Nikon camera friends. Even the newcomers find their way around quickly. The many preset scene modes help to make a beautiful picture. Why long with exposure and time to play around when it can be done differently? The Nikon makes very good. The L830 gives natural and beautiful pictures. The quality is quite decent and quite well to use for photo book. I see the Nikon as an inexpensive alternative for the holidays. They erected focal technically versatile and has everything you need here. The control units allow the user to drop the camera sometimes are a few days left. The time-consuming to deal with the various parameters unnecessary. Who wants that lies with the 830 dead wrong. But there are Panasonic, Sony and Co.
Short and sweet
Positive:
+ Free processing
+ Large, versatile focal length range
+ Handling and menu
+ AA batteries used
+ Automatics
Nerve end:
- Little space for creative
Neutral:
o Color
o Image Quality
My conclusion: The Nikon is nothing special and interesting nonetheless. Especially for Wenigfotografierer who want to have a wide range of designs. Keyword holiday. The power supply via AA batteries is top. A nice approach to the do not want to take care of everything.
