Nikon Coolpix L15 Digital Camera - Review - The Imaging Resource!

 

The Nikon Coolpix L15 is small, pocketable and easy to operate with its bounty of automatic settings. With an 8.0-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens, the Nikon L15 captures good detail in normal, well-lit conditions. A selection of preset Scene...

Small, pocketable size ; Large selection of preset shooting modes ; Good color and exposure ; Large 2.8-inch LCD monitor ; Face-Priority AF mode ; D-Lighting adjustment ; Vibration Reduction reduces blurring ; One-Touch Portrait mode recognizes as many...

High image noise ; Strong blurring from noise suppression at high ISO ; Moderate blurring in the corners from lens ; high barrel distortion ; Limited shadow detail under high-contrast conditions ; Slow performance and very slow flash recycling time

The camera's large and bright 2.8-inch color LCD monitor is great for composing and reviewing images, offering accurate and easy framing even under bright sunlight. Camera controls are minimal and easy to understand, making the Nikon Coolpix L15 quick...

Inexpensive Nikon LIFE series camera with some nice extras

Nikon Coolpix L15 Review

 

If you're shopping for a compact camera and have between $150 and $200 to spend, there are almost too many high-style, high-function choices anymore. But if your budget is closer to $100 than $150, the camera herd from companies you've actually heard...

Lots of camera for the money, Decent exposure and color reproduction, Couldn't be much easier to use

Slightly sluggish all around, particularly slow AF and flash, Lens less than impressive, Not good in low light

For oldtimers, the name Nikon still conjures up high-quality, top-end single lens reflex cameras, and Nikon continutes to be very active in that space. However, the company also saw the handwriting on the wall and was one of the early adopters in the...

Even though it is an entry-level camera, it has a good Nikon lens, can shoot VGA movies with sound and at a full 30 frames per second speed, and there are even onboard goodies like face recognition and red-eye reduction. Where this camera excels, and...

Nikon Coolpix L15

 

The Nikon Coolpix L15 is an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens. The main attraction of the camera is its simplicity. It is available in black and silver and is just a bit too large to fit into a pocket.

Ease of use

Picture quality - shutter lag

"To be honest this camera has proved to be a disappointment to me. The camera is very easy to use, but was let down by the quality of the photos it produced. I had issue with lowlight, macro and the brightness of standard outdoor photos."
