Nikon Coolpix L100 is for those who like to carry big zoom cameras but with the simplicity of compact point and shoot models.

The Nikon Coolpix L100 has a 15X optical zoom with image stabilization, long battery life, a 3 inch wide LCD, and a sensor with 10 megapixel resolution. The Nikon Coolpix L100 is the biggest camera in its class and sports the biggest lens among Nikon's compact ultrazooms that function without manual controls. Coupled with features like "smart portrait," motion detection and auto scene-selection, Nikon Coolpix L100 is the layman user's zoom camera.

Though the Nikon Coolpix L100 can record movie VGA clips at surprising clarity, the audio sync is a bit less effective, making Nikon Coolpix L100 more the camera of a scene shooter, than the camera of a video enthusiast.
