Nikon Coolpix L18 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Navy)

Editorial Review:

Nikon Coolpix L18 is a digital-camera designed to meet everyone's budget. 8 Megapixel sensor delivers outstanding stills and movies. A built-in mic allows sound. There's a 3" 240,000 pixel LCD on the camera for shooting and playing back your images. All images may be stored on optional SD or SDHC memory cards that fit directly into an integrated slot. Many computers can read (and write) directly off these cards or you can use built-in USB for data transfer to PC or MP3 player. A composite video cable lets you view images on your TV. Nikon's AntiShake mode allows blur-free images even if your hands shake a little when you click the shutter. This is a great buy!

Nice point n shot cam with energy consumption fault:

I bought this camera during the Thanksgiving sales. Very good value with its price. And the brand Nikon also has value. color is ok (I took two years of photograhy in college), sharpness is good and I like the contrast.
The large LCD screen is its main value; But it eats battery like crazy. It consumes one pair of AA batteries in a day of shooting of around 50-60 pictures and 2 videos. I paid $89.00 for the cam, but I expect another $89.00 for the battery soon.

Very good basic camera:

I like the fact that the camera uses a AA battery and has a view finder. Although the screen is great, I occasionally like to use a view finder.
Had a Canon A530 before (until it was accidentally ruined). Like the smaller size and the bigger screen of the Nikon.
The delay between the flash and the picture gives subjects time to close their eyes.

very slow shutter speed:

nikon makes very good camaras. the only problem i have with my camara is the shutter speed is very slow. by the time the pic is taken the moment has passed. otherwise very nice camara.

Coolpix is Cool!!!:

The Nikon Coolpix L18, is a great starter camera for the serious picture taker! With 8 Megapixels and 3x optical zoom, it helps the casaual photographer to aspire to better hieghts! Could be more useful with a rechargable lithium-type battery as it does run through the standard AA batteries.
