As well as being compared against other super zooms, the Nikon Coolpix L810 is also often compared to travel zooms, entry-level DSLRs, pro digicams and compacts. The Nikon Coolpix L810's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix B500 and the Coolpix L320) and Fujifilm (such as the FinePix S3300 and the FinePix S4800)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to other super zoom competitors include: it has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 460k dots) and has better image stabilization (lens vs none).
However, on average it has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (23 mm vs 4 mm), doesn't have a screen which flips out, has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), has a much shorter battery life (300 shots vs 600 shots) and is older (february 2012 vs march 2013).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a significantly wider wide angle lens (23 mm vs 28 mm), has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 460k dots) and has a significantly longer battery life (300 shots vs 120 shots).
However, on average it is slightly larger (prosumer size (111×76×83 mm) vs compact (107×62×22 mm)), doesn't have a touch screen, has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is thicker (3.3" vs 0.9") and is slightly heavier (430 g vs 226 g).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to entry-level DSLR competitors include: it records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs none), has a significantly larger screen (3" vs 2.7"), has a much higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 230k dots), has better image stabilization (lens vs none) and is newer (february 2012 vs june 2010).
However, on average it takes much lower resolution photos (9.7 MP vs 14 MP), doesn't record movies in 24p, doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1.2 fps vs 3 fps), has a much smaller sensor (1/2.3" 6.17x4.55mm vs APS-C 23.5x15.7mm) and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs pentamirror).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to pro digicam competitors include: it has significantly more zoom (25.4x vs 4x), has a slightly wider wide angle lens (23 mm vs 25 mm), has a slightly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 460k dots), has a significantly longer battery life (300 shots vs 230 shots) and is slightly less expensive ($277.47 vs $451.42).
However, on average it has a significantly narrower aperture (f/3.1 vs f/1.8), is much larger (prosumer size (111×76×83 mm) vs compact (103×58×32 mm)), doesn't shoot as fast continuously (1.2 fps vs 10 fps), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS) and is older (february 2012 vs august 2012).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to compact competitors include: it has significantly more zoom (25.4x vs 1x), has a much wider wide angle lens (23 mm vs 36 mm), has a significantly larger screen (3" vs 2"), has a much higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 123k dots) and has better image stabilization (lens vs none).
However, on average it is much larger (prosumer size (111×76×83 mm) vs compact (96×62×31 mm)), is thicker (3.3" vs 1.2"), is much heavier (430 g vs 194 g) and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel).
