The L110 was brought out 24 months earlier than the P7100 making them a generation apart from each other. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go right into a detailed comparison, here is a short highlight of how the L110 grades vs the P7100 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L110 and Nikon Coolpix P7100. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon L110 Gallery and Nikon P7100 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the L110 and P7100.

As you can see, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L110 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon L110 will result in more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The older L110 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
