Updated (February, 2012): Compare the Kodak EasyShare Z950 vs Nikon Coolpix L810

Nikon Coolpix L120

51

"The camera is also equipped with two image stabilization functions. By incorporating both an image sensor shift vibration reduction (VR) mechanism and electronic VR, the L120 is able to minimize the effects of camera shake than can otherwise lead to image degrading blur, which makes shooting at the maximum telephoto zoom position and under lower light conditions more manageable."
digitalreview.ca | talking about the L120's image-stabilization
"The Nikon L120 incorporates a 14 megapixel sensor with Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processing technology – delivering fast response times and natural colour reproduction."

Green arrow Snapsort recommends the Nikon Coolpix L120. This recommendation, however, should be taken with a grain of salt since it doesn't always make sense to compare a travel zoom with a super zoom.
