How does this camera compare to Nikon L830? I am wondering mostly about the quality and color of the picture, as well as zoom stability.

I cannot do a comparison, as I have never used a Nikon L830. I can tell you, however, that the quality and color of the picture are excellent and zoom stability is very good, as well. I hope this helps!

I love it! I can take pictures of my kids surfing as well as close up and it took great pictures in Italy. I haven't tried the Nikon. I have used cannon but like this and reasonably priced and easy to use.

Can't answer your question directly, but I do have a FZ30 from a few years back, and a P500. I like the twist zoom of the Panasonic instead of the motor zoom on the Nikon, but both work well. I've been getting exceptionally good zoom photos out of the P500 with excellent contrast and color (I've reviewed it recently here). The colors particularly red can sometimes come out with some strange hues on the FZ. If it helps, I was going to upgrade either the FZ30 to the FZ100 OR Nikon P80 to the P500 and decided to go with the Nikon. Further I bought the new model D5100 dSLR Nikon and compared the photos from that with the P500 and they are very close to each other in general performance (although I'm sure low-light will be better with the dSLR).

The camera so far has been great. However the zoom is not at all impressive. IMO the zoom is about equal to what you see with your eyes and wider. I think that is 1:1. Hope this helps.

Is does pretty well. Noise will alway be present when your adjusting your exsposure with your iOS rather than your shutter and aperture but I think this camera does really well. At 400 I really didn't see a difference. Its at about 1,600 when I see a difference. I think this camera would be a great upgrade from your d3000. It also has some extra features I forgot to mention..... It can Af a manual lens and you can preset 2 shooting settings if you'd like. :) I hope this helps.

I have not used the other cameras, so I cannot compare. I will say that I am very happy with what I have shot so far. I have no regrets buying this camera.

The L820 has a huge zoom range. It's a 30x optical zoom which starts at 22.5 and goes out to a teeth aching 675mm. That's the distanced in 35mm terms, which is what we normally base our scale on. The actual zoom range is 4mm to 120mm and this all correlates to the size of the sensor. The 35mm version is simply a "scaled up" comparison, but is much easier to understand.

I have never owned a D3000, so I cannot do a fair comparison. I can only tell you that I really love the camera. I also own a Nikon D7000 and a D90.

Yes. I own a Nikon L830. The L810,L820 and the L830 are capatitable and I bought all sorts of goodes for it. I had the same questions my self when buying. I had to do a lot of looking to find this out. Again yes.

I have been more than pleased with the image quality of the LF1. I have not seen the images you are evaluating. Check out Gordon Liam & Camera Labs for his review and serious sample photos.

Get the elph 330.. i bought the elph 130 at christmas (already own 2 elph 110 cameras which are excellent-much better than the 130). anyway, returned the elph 130 pics were noisy, lighting not good. just got the elph 330 in pink and its fantastic. was going to get the newer elph 340 but reviews from tech sites were not good. the elph 330 is a great camera

I have had this camera P7800 only a few months but I find it to be extremely good in low light. I have been able to greatly enlarge dark areas of pictures and still keep very good sharpness. Right now I do not own a recent SLR (because of SLR weight in the conditions I mostly take pictures) so I cannot compare P7800 with an SLR, but an SLR would certainly beat it. It is also very sharp on closeups. I do not know the S9300.

It is a good camera and takes good quality pictures inside and outdoors.But it is not the same quality as a SLR. The resolution is not as fine. This is an outdoor drop in the water and still work camera.I like mine and bought it for my fishing and canoeing adventures.Erich

It was a OK camera, however the E500 is a better one. I upgraded my to E510 the semi-professional and still have it and have not changed it for the purposes. However, if you want a beginners SLR then get the E300.

Thanks for the comments guys, I do notice different brand camera have different color tone, as you mention, "Canon have a warmer-brighter color and a little smoother look", I think Nikon have a cooler but sharper look, I'm using SD870, S90, T2i and now SX40, my S90 takes really good pictures and just little noise at ISO800, not far vs T2i, I was hoping the SX40 up to S90 picture quality, so I don't have to bring it 2 cameras all the time.The SX40 1/2.3" CMOS sensor VS S90 1/1.7" CCD sensor, F2.0-F4.9 VS F2.7-F5.9, 28mm-105mm VS 24mm-840mm, these are 2 totally different camera, I shouldn't compare them at all, there is no camera like all in one :) Thanks for the comments guys, I do notice different brand camera have different color tone, as you mention, "Canon have a warmer-brighter color and a little smoother look", I think Nikon have a cooler but sharper look, I'm using SD870, S90, T2i and now SX40, my S90 takes really good pictures and just little noise at ISO800, not far vs T2i, I was hoping the SX40 up to S90 picture quality, so I don't have to bring it 2 cameras all the time.The SX40 1/2.3" CMOS sensor VS S90 1/1.7" CCD sensor, F2.0-F4.9 VS F2.7-F5.9, 28mm-105mm VS 24mm-840mm, these are 2 totally... » Read More Thanks for the comments guys, I do notice different brand camera have different color tone, as you mention, "Canon have a warmer-brighter color and a little smoother look", I think Nikon have a cooler but sharper look, I'm using SD870, S90, T2i and now SX40, my S90 takes really good pictures and just little noise at ISO800, not far vs T2i, I was hoping the SX40 up to S90 picture quality, so I don't have to bring it 2 cameras all the time.The SX40 1/2.3" CMOS sensor VS S90 1/1.7" CCD sensor, F2.0-F4.9 VS F2.7-F5.9, 28mm-105mm VS 24mm-840mm, these are 2 totally different camera, I shouldn't compare them at all, there is no camera like all in one :) « Show Less

I took several pictures with both and the Sony seems to have more reddish tints in the pictures. I even used the P mode and used the natural setting. It did not help when in the landscape, etc modes. That is the only complaint I have so far. Neither the Canon or the Sony had real good picture quality, I did not think. Maybe I should try something else all together. I liked the idea of having a larger zoom on a point and shoot but maybe it takes away from teh quality??
