Olympus VG-110 with Nikon Coolpix L21 Overview
Let's compare Nikon Coolpix L21 with Olympus VG-110.
The first model related to Small Sensor Compact, the second to Ultracompact cameras.
Nikon L21 was released in 2010, and Olympus VG-110 in 2011.
VG-110 is newer, which is a plus. Coolpix L21 1 years older.
The sensor resolution of Coolpix L21 is greater than that of VG-110. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant.
The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (VG-110), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight.
A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark.
Both cameras feature a 2-inch fixed screen.
