As well as being compared against other super zooms, the Nikon Coolpix L810 is also often compared to compacts. The Nikon Coolpix L810's top rivals come from Nikon (such as the Coolpix L330 and the Coolpix L340) and Fujifilm (such as the FinePix S3200 and the FinePix S4000)
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 460k dots) and has better image stabilization (lens vs none).
However, on average it has slightly less zoom (25.4x vs 41.7x), has a significantly narrower wide angle lens (23 mm vs 4 mm), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 120 fps), doesn't record movies in 24p and doesn't have a screen which flips out.
Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon L810 compared to compact competitors include: it has way more more zoom (25.4x vs 3x), records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 320 x 240 @ 15fps), has a much wider wide angle lens (23 mm vs 36 mm), has a much larger screen (3" vs 1.5") and has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 230k dots).
However, on average it is much larger (prosumer size (111×76×83 mm) vs super compact (95×54×20 mm)), is thicker (3.3" vs 0.8"), is much heavier (430 g vs 125 g), doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel) and has a slower max shutter speed (1/1500 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
