Question: Nikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 21x NIKKOR Wide-Angle Optical Zoom vs Canon SX30IS 14.1MP Going on a cruise to Alaska.  Long time user of Canon SLR's film camera's  but want a lighter digital.  Have been reading spec's and reviews on both of the above cameras and can't make up my mind.  Both seem to have pro's and con's.
Document: great camera i love it I just use it at a High School graduation and the pictures are amazing tNikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 21x NIKKOR Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Red) is easy to use and great pictures its alittle heavy but the pictures are worth it
I'm not a professional with camera's but I've used them for about 35 years, since I started using my Dad's 35MM split frame and developing the film myself. Now, The Nikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP camera is very easy to work and use and has that Professional feel about it. It takes great photo's and focus is fast.
First off let me start by saying...I have always used Kodak digital cameras. I did an upgrade from a Kodak 7.1 mp with x10 optical zoom to this L120. I have had it for about a month now which has been plenty of time for an adjustment period:PROS:-The image quality is better. (that could be from the doubling my MP)-Can take several shots in Sports mode/action pics.
I'm a very casual user relying on the automatic features. After reading many of the reviews on this camera I thought I could live with the Video being so-so, but was concerned about the reviews that mentioned the "blurry" pictures. I checked out the camera at Best Buy and comapared the Nikon coolpix L120 with a Panasonic DMC-ZS8. I took pictures of the boxes at the far end of the store at full and equal zoom with both cameras. The Nikon pictures were blurry.
For anyone looking at getting a decent, mid-level point-and-shoot with the look and feel of an SLR, the Nikon Coolpix L120 is by far the best choice, even with its few shortcomings!As a semi-professional photographer who primarily shoots film (but is slowly converting to digital) I always have kept at least a digital P&S; camera with me to get those "quick" shots that I can't get because of the time involved in setting up the shot in an SLR.
The Nikon L120 is a must buy. This camera is more for beginner photographers. The 14.1 Megapixels are amazing and the 21X zoom is great. I recommend this alot. My aunts, uncles, and brother even want to buy one because of me. Simply amazing. Click that buy button. ;)
Pro:I am pleased with the promptness of this purchase. Though not a professional photographer, I use my cameras continually. The L120 is rated very high by consumer reports and is really fun to use, but takes some time to get use to. The anti-shake feature and auto mode , make picturing easy and fun. 21x zoom captures everything in fine detail. Nice buy!Con: a bit clunky abd heavy.
This really disappointed me and as a result many of the pictures turned out blurry. Also landscape and scenic pictures seem kind of washed out.Some of the things I did like included its viewing screen. It is 3-inches wide, with amazing picture viewing quality. And with the 14.1 megapixel camera, I definitely have gotten some amazing pictures.
I am a real estate appraiser and really like this camera. It uses 4 AA batteries, so I'm never caught in the field with a dead proprietary battery. The zoom is very good and the wide angle is great for interior photos of homes. It locks on focus fairly quickly, though not as quick as a dSLR; good enough for what I do. The only issue I have is that it doesn't do well with sunlight glare. I wish Nikon would make an optional "hood" for it.
I love this camera. I've had it for quite a long time now & it is my favorite. I've had many digital cameras and have always been frustrated by some aspect of them--either they take bad pictures in low light or they're difficult to work with etc. This camera does everything well. It takes great videos & pictures. It takes great pictures in low light & even better in natural light. It gives the user a lot of options to customize their photos & to adjust their photos.
Answer: I would get the Nikon Coolpix L120. By far the best choice out there, and it's affordable!
