The L100 was introduced 5 years earlier than the L830 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Nikon L100 being a Compact camera and the Nikon L830 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a simple view of how the L100 scores against the L830 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix L100 and Nikon Coolpix L830. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon L100 Gallery and Nikon L830 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry around your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and volume.

Normally, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the L100 and L830.

As you can see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Nikon L830 to deliver more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged L100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
