As well as being compared against other super zooms, the Nikon Coolpix L810 is also often compared to entry-level DSLRs and travel zooms. The Nikon Coolpix L810's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix L830 and the Coolpix L820) and Canon (such as the PowerShot SX510 HS and the PowerShot SX500 IS)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to other super zoom competitors include: it has a slightly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 461k dots), creates panoramas in-camera and captures 3D images.
However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps), doesn't record movies in 24p, doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1.2 fps vs 6.7 fps) and has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to entry-level DSLR competitors include: it has a slightly larger screen (3.0" vs 2.7"), has a slightly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 230k dots), has image stabilization (lens vs none), creates panoramas in-camera and captures 3D images.
However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 30fps), takes much lower resolution photos (9.7 MP vs 24.1 MP), doesn't have a touch screen, doesn't record movies in 24p and doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1.2 fps vs 3.7 fps).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider wide angle lens (23 mm vs 28 mm), has a slightly wider aperture (f/3.1 vs f/3.8), has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 230k dots), creates panoramas in-camera and captures 3D images.
However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 30fps), is slightly larger (prosumer size 111x76x83 mm vs mid size 108x68x34 mm), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), has a significantly shorter battery life (300 shots vs 660 shots) and is older (february, 2012 vs august, 2013).
