Nikon Coolpix L19, is probably the simplest digital camera you can buy from a well-known branbd at the moment. Nikon reduced the functions you have acess to the right to return to a more or less than the minimum. This decline, even the number of menu optios must be addresesd. In fact, it will probaably take about an hour to learn everything you need to know about each function Coolpix L19 has.
You can still do everything you want if you want to take pcitures, and thre is a mandatory rergime, as well as film. 8-megapixel sesor may not seem like a lot of other camea offers 14 megapixels and higher, but it's more than enough if all you want to do is print photos of your holidays and otgher social snps. In fact, the fact, Nikon has ilmited the number of mgeapixels to 8 can even help you produce better quality pictures. That's because too many megapixels packed in the smal sensors used in this type of camera can lead to loss of image quality.
Opitons you have access to might be useful. For example you have access to the choiec of plot. I fuond that parsing and usign some of them can certainly improve the qualty of photos you take. This applies particcularly to the picturesque shoots type. I think some of the less expensive Nikon digital cametras tend to make pictures that are soft on the edges of the fraame and sharpness is lost. This problem can be ovbercome by selecting Landscape mode scene. Coolpix L19 can then increase the precision with whiich he chooses the settings to use and it can lead to a much sahrper picturre. In addition, I deemed it appropriate to experiment with white balance settins when shooting a porterait shot. If the object is in the shade or cloudy weather can warm up the image by srelecting the cloudy white balance swetting. This can help you create a much more flattering pictuure.
Overll, I was impressed with the quality of my photos of tests. They were better than some more expensive cameras manage. One poblem I encountered is that the coorners of the shot can be a dark, when the lens is not increased at all. This is a problem that can affect the camera with cheaper lenses.
Shutter delay times were good for a relatively inexpensive digital cmaera, although it take a seocnd longer than standard to enable the camera and take the first photo.
I watched two very similar cameras in the past two weeks, as in this time of year theer is a sudden surge of cameras are avaailable in srtores. Coollpix L19 comppares well with both of them. One before the first is the Canon Powershot A480. This camera has a number of additional features compared with the Coolpix L19. For example, you have access to features such as the level of ISO, color fiters, meters and continouus shooting. There is not much to choose between the two chambers when it comes to image quality, so you have a choice of additional feattures A480 Powershot or bewtter ease of use moodel Nikon. Another camera that I can directly compare the model agaainst which Sony Cybershot DSC S950. Again the camera Sony has more efatures, while the Cooolpix L19 has better ease of use. At this time, although the Sony Cybershot DSC S950 could not match the picture quality Coolpix L19, so I have a clar prefereence for Noikon digital cameras.
