Which camera is better ?
While I would like to just say, "Nikon's the best," you have ruled that out. I went to see what some other people said and, although there are very few user reviews here, they seem to favor the Samsung.





See http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_... and click on "Read Owner Opinions." Be sure to read all of the comments, as there are not that many anyhow.





The Nikon L10 scored 3.64 out of 5.0 and the Samsung scored 4.43. Except that the sample size is so small, this would be a significant difference in favor of the Samsung.





If you can squeeze another $25-30 out of the budget, add the Canon Powershot A560 to your set. At every feature point, the Canon goes one better (or more) than the two cameras you are looking at.





More zoom. Higher ISO. Optical viewfinder. More meter patterns to choose from. More pixels. Faster lens. The flash might not be quite as powerful, though.

Reply:Well have fun with your new camera, whichever one you choose. It's the memories that matter the most. Report It

Reply:Go with the Nikon. The reason is because it has a higher ISO speed. Here are some features you want to look for in a camera. The camera with the better of these is the one you should get.





1. Optical zoom





When you have optical zoom, you can zoom in closer to the subject without loosing picture quality. The higher optical zoom, the better. When you use digital zoom, the number of megapixels goes down, which decreases the resolution.





2. Megapixels (MP)





A picture is made up of tiny little dots of light, called pixels. The more pixels you have, the better the resolution. Since Mega means multiplied by a million, then a 5 megapixel camera uses 5 million dots of light to make up a picture. The more pixels you have, the better the resolution.





3. ISO speed (shutter speed)





If you want a clear, non blurry picture then the faster the shutter opens and closes the clearer the picture will be. So a camera with ISO 800 has a faster speed than a camera with ISO 400.





That is the reason I said go with the Nikon-twice as fast shutter speed.
