wonderful camera

 

This camera uses 2 AA batteries. No batteries to recharge, just change the batteries, and it is ready to use. I love the picture quality, and the ease of putting pictures on the computer. Photos or movies can be taken very easily. I can then make a DVD...

small, easy to use, great pictures

great camera for a beginner

 

great quality camera for a beginner but if you want more functionality in a camera, you have to pay for it with faster shutter speeds, special lenses & filters, etc. I wish someone would digitize all that in a way that a beginner can easily use! I wish...

Fast quick picutre taking

Zoom not enough

Don't buy

 

After a few weeks from buying this camera it refused to start. The poor quality battery that came with the camera had failed. Neither Nikon nor Best Buy covers the battery, and the price of a replacement battery is half the price of the new camera! A...

The specifications are great

Fails to start

Not great for families

 

I bought this camera because of the good reviews. This camera takes mostly blurry photos, eats batteries, and the flash takes forever. Every time I try to zoom the lever gets stuck and the pictures are guaranteed to be blurry. If you plan to take still...

Short battery life, blurry photos, flash takes too long

Simplicity is Its Strength

 

I'm familiar with the L series from the first L18. I was attracted to it because I needed something that was quick and very easy to use. I also did not want the bother of a battery charger, so the AA battery configuration was a big plus.

user friendly, Portability/Compact, value for money

great entry level digital camera

 

I bought this for my spouse who is a digital camera newbie. We took it on vacation recently and he loved it. Easy to use controls, even for someone with big hands. Good picture quality for internet sharing. Have not tried to get prints of anything, so...

screen hard to see in bright light

Gr8 camera for intermediate user

 

I would buy it again, as it exceeded my expectations. I am sure it would do more if I would read the instructions. It has a nice big screen, good color in the pics, the icons are a little confusing, and I wish it came with at least a small velvet case...

gr8 price, Long battery life, nice & compact

haven't figured out how to not have flash go off

Consumer review by:

Very temperamental

 

Before this camera, I used the same one for 6 years..I still prefer that one to this one. I love the look, but it's just so temperamental...I don't like the quality of the pictures. The battery says its exhausted quite often too. (I'm using camera...

the look of it is great and the ease of use

If you shake just a little it ruins the whole picture, it doesn't have a self timer, and the quality isn't that great

Taking it back

 

The camera feels nice and is easy to use, but the pictures are fuzzy, like they are slightly out of focus. It's not just on the camera display, they are the same when I download them to my computer. I will return the camera and try another one, in case...
