Nikon COOLPIX L20

By Ken McMahon (cameralabs.com)Read the full review

The Nikon COOLPIX L20 is a 10 Megapixel compact with a 3.6x optical zoom and a 3in LCD screen. It's aimed at point-and-shoot photographers and priced at the budget end of the compact market - indeed it's one of the cheapest big-brand cameras you can buy

My father bought me this camera for Christmas. I was very excited to have a simple point and shoot - I have an SLR by Fujifilm, but decided to try out this Nikon camera. I was disappointed first in the picture quality. In automatic mode everything was eit...
