I have had my Nikon D40 for some time now and really enjoy using it. It is a "starter" DSLR but a good one - incredibly easy to use but fantastic photos. For novice hobby photographers, it has a good automatic setting which even a 6 year old could use to achieve decent results. I have recently started to use the manual settings and am enjoying experimenting with the different effects that I can achieve.
When my daughter asked for a camera for Christmas, we looked at several different cameras, finally settling on a so-called "bridge" camera from Nikon, the L110. Bridge cameras close the gap between the compact point-and-shoot and the expensive and bulky DSLR.
The L110 has really impressed me. It is easy to use, has a few settings, such as landscape, portrait, night, indoor - which I have learned to check before letting my daughter use it. Half way through our photo shoot today, I realised that she had it set to "indoor" so the photos are not as good as they could have been. I also have the settings on the D40 tweaked slightly to give more vivid colours.
The following shots should give you an idea of what the L110 is capable of. The zoom is amazing - my D40 can only look on enviously. A zoom lens is on my list of accessories that I would like to buy sometime.

I think that the colours on the L110 would have been better if the setting had not been wrong, as some of the later pics show.

And here are some other pics of the balloon festival, that I took.
Those two last pics are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks. They were actually taken out of the car window as we headed for home. Lucky shot.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! I am thinking of getting a new camera and I can't decide if I should get a point and shoot camera or a bridge camera from one of the top rated camera models in the market like Canon, Nikon, Panasonic and more. I'm looking around for opinions and advices from experts and I hope I'll get the answer that I am looking for. Will definitely consider your post and I hope I won't regret my purchase! Thanks!
