*** *** Optics
The camera comes in a sleek metallic casing which in the colors black, white, purple, silver and can be ordered in red. The compact camera has a weight of 160g is pleasant, but thicker than some other model, because the handle thanks to the battery compartment is easy voluminous. This, however the camera is better and more comfortable in the hand. Especially since it is not serious. Opposite on the left side there is a flashlight that has a maximum range of around 3.6m has. At the top is the trigger and around it the ring to zoom. On de rear side which is antireflection coated 2.7-inch LCD display with 213,000 pixels solid. Here was saved, but sufficient. In addition, a clear control element including video start button. Schlicht, convincing and handy.
*** Service ***
Basically, it says here only point and shoot. More is not necessary and so that the camera is in fact an opportunity clippers, beginners and slackers who do not want to set a lot. The exposure is performed by an Intelligent Auto. Although you can manually adjust a little exposure, but the automatic is quite intelligent for the price, so it fits in most cases, if you do not expect professional pictures. In addition, there are numerous scene modes that can be selected in addition.
The menu is clearly structured and intuitive. Without problems, without manual, you will find their way immediately. The buttons can be pressed well and they have a great size, so that one is also true that what you want to meet. The advantage to our current Touchscreen No photos accidental because you touch the shutter button on the touch screen.
Otherwise, the camera has a good 5x zoom with a wide angle of 26 to 130mm. One quickly realizes that it is oriented rather wide angle and the telephoto is weakening already quite strong, but that could be found in the technical data in advance. The light intensity is rather average with F3.2 to f6,5. Even so, you can be friends. A real weakness is that only a digital image stabilizer is present. Accordingly, the camera is more for good lighting conditions, otherwise there will be a noise images. The point is not really convincing even the local area. You can tell that this camera is just really more suitable for a nice family photo on Sunday afternoon or on vacation. The picture quality is definitely not bad. In good lighting conditions very beautiful clear colors powerful images come about, who do not need to hide. But you should not expect miracles.
Videos are recorded 720p quality with just one click in good HD. The recording process is initiated quickly. Other cameras, so the problem with the Samsung DV300F, often need to can it go some time, everything here is very fast.
Not only the videos are started quickly, otherwise the camera is quickly ready for use, so that one does not miss important.
*** *** Battery
Here share the spirits. Two normal batteries are old-fashioned here used, that can be changed to alternative normal batteries. Frumpy, but sometimes also an advantage if you consider or see that with my S6400 suddenly the camera ausgehtm because does not appear that the battery needs to be recharged. Here I have to wait some time before it can continue. When L27 reads simply, new batteries into it and on it goes. Depending on battery quality can be shot as 200- 650 pictures before they must be replaced. In reality, it looks like this. I myself have about 100 pictures snapped and two videos filmed that were around 10 minutes, but also had several attempts. Basically So, like any good battery. Only there are no annoying charging time.
'' 'Summary' ''
The Coolpix L27 made by Nikon is a solid camera that mainly aimed at the casual photographer. Will not cost a lot of money and is therefore also equipped with the most important aspects. Luxury or professional quality can not be expected here. Good processes it fits comfortably in your hand and do what they can need. For the price perfectly adequate, and who does not have high expectations, will be completely satisfied with it.
