Nikon has launched with the L25 good beginner's camera on the market. The equipment in this price range very good. CCD image sensor with 10.1 million pixels (effective) 5x wide-angle zoom (28 to 140mm miniature equivalent) 7.5 cm (3.0 inches) of large TFT-LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels HD Movie function (720p) Scope of supply: Coolpix L25, Strap AN-CP19, View NX2, USB Cable UC-E16, 2GB memory card, matching camera bag. The camera has a fast start, after triggering the camera is ready to shoot again after about 1 second. The pictures have a good sharpness and to ISO 200 good image quality up to ISO 800, satisfactory. Have the S5100, the image quality is not according to the L25. For me it was crucial to be equipped with AA batteries. The camera operates automatically, ISO values can not be adjusted manually. The exposure can be by plus / Minus 2 adjust aperture values. There are 18 available shooting modes can be adapted so many shooting situations. With the VR-digital image stabilizer, the images to be recorded without shaking. At full 140mm focal length, I did blur-free images at a shutter speed of 1/100 sec, Freehand understood. Videos in HD quality are as good to designate. Those looking for an inexpensive camera is good bediehnt. Even indoors in sufficient lighting conditions to succeed in good quality. So I can not give 5 stars for this price range, as the image quality and features make it. The camera fits comfortably in your hand and it is a pleasure to work with.
