Ok but you get what you pay for

 

It's ok

The pictures don't come out very well a good bit of the time. You almost absolutely have to use the flash to even attempt at a good photo

No Good

 

If this was a car it would have been recalled by Nikon, I do not understand how they can still sell it with a clear conscience.

It was cheap

This camera has a nasty flaw of exhausting yoru batteries very quickly, sure it is usually fixed by turning the cam off then re insert batteries, but you dont want to be doing that when you are out there snapping pics

Nikon Coolpix L26 Black 16.1 MP 5X Optical Zoom Wide Angle Digital Camera, Everything You Need Kit, 26298

 

Small, easy to carry & handle, Easy enough to use if you're not "Camera Smart

Few buttons on the actual camera, so you have to play around with the menus a lot to change things

Needs work

 

I bought this as a present for a family member to use as a work tool. I was told once it was opened and set up that there is no "charging cord" like his wife's same camera and required separate rechargeable batteries. My fault as I assumed all cameras...

Good pictures

No charging cord

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

Hate it!

 

I am on Amazon today, looking for a new camera, because I despise this one. All the problems mentioned by previous reviewers are accurate; every problem from horrible pictures to batteries that won't even stay in the camera (right now I am holding it...

GREAT LITTLE CAMERA

 

THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE CAMERA FOR THE AMATEUR. I JUST WANTED SOMETHING SMALL AND INEXPENSIVE TO HAVE HANDY ALL THE TIME. ESPECIALLY WHEN MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS WITH ME. THIS IS MY SECOND NIKON AND I TRUST NIKON'S REPUTATION.
