Nikon COOLPIX L810 vs Samsung WB100

Nikon L810

Superzoom Camera

The Guys say...

These two low-end superzoom cameras share middling zoom ranges (for a bridge camera, at least) and relatively low-resolution sensors. The WB100 has one additional stop of sensitivity, topping out at 3200 ISO to the L810's 1600. Neither camera uses rechargeable batteries, and neither can shoot 1080p video. The two cameras' zoom ranges (26x) and resolution (16MP) are identical, so there's no real reason to choose one over the other.
