Highly Improved Low End L Series,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)
With the standard proviso that tech stuff always gets better and cheaper, I highly recommend this new camera model for the low price. I have only had it for two days, since Nikon didn't warranty my broken LCD screen on my L4. Please do be careful with the fragile nature of these electronics! I didn't drop it or abuse it, and it apparently broke in my pocket within a padded case!
Back to the L10, most everything is better than the previous, low end, L cameras, with improved sound, and what is great for me, voice recording capacity, outside of 20 second voice memos attached to a particular photo. While digital voice recorders are cheap for PCs, I have a Mac and previously, only iPods with accessories, or other costly recorders, can create sound files to be then imported to your computer and then burned to CDs. With just a 512 MB card, you can record for hours. The image quality is a bit bluish, some color cast that hopefully can be corrected with software. The sharpness looks O.K., and for the price, it's fine for me. This makes a great back-up camera, as I use another more expensive L series camera. On the road, I can't afford missing a great scenic shot, or hundreds of those. The L10 is smaller and slimmer than the L4. It carries well in your pocket. It has slightly simpler buttons and controls. The lens retraction is quicker on shut-off, and the zoom is rather abrupt. Other new, handy features are characteristic of the planned obsolescence of most tech items. Goodies that will have you wanting to upgrade! It will remain to be seen how durable this camera turns out to be, but I have high hopes. I intend to be more careful, and never subject this beauty to shock or any possibility of drops. Speaking with a tech support rep, you need to have nickel metal hydride batteries with more than 2000 mAh worth of power, in lieu of what they recommend (Nikon-approved rechargables). Some of my Ray-o-Vacs aren't. I'm using only the approved SD cards, but they now support up to 4GB cards. That's great if you can trust the card not to fail--why I buy several in smaller capacities, and therefore don't have all my eggs in one basket. You'll get enough memory, then at 4 GB, for probably then, a few thousand photos storage. One major thing they can work on are the streaks that still appear in movie mode when faced with bright reflections or sun. Not as bad in earlier L's, these don't appear in final still images, but are seen in movies. You then have to remember not to shoot movies outside of evenly lit scenes. My older Coolpix cameras didn't have this problem. The movie quality is pretty good, but a bit down from my movies using my L5. Shooting movies of a train, the bells and horns are much clearer sounding than the earlier models. Despite what the ads say, I can find no VR feature on this model, and nothing about it in the manual. Unless it is enabled all the time, which it seems to be not, you may wish to wait till this excellent feature becomes standard on all models. For more serious photographers, VR is included on the higher end, new L's. Also, I see nothing about ISO capability to 800, but I haven't yet tried night or low light scenes. One telephoto came out blurred, with no blur warning, there. All in all, this is fantastic technology, all at a highly affordable price, and although Nikon isn't the top rated brand as it used to be, I'd get this as a first, around-the-home and back-up, digital camera, if you haven't owned a good one yet.

Nice, Cheap and Small,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)
I bought this camera for my daughter and was pretty impressed. It is easy to use, takes great pictures, has a lot of options, and is very small (pocket-sized). In fact it was kind of depressing because I paid $250 for a 5MP this time last year.
You will need a memory card for this camera. The internal memory only holds 3 pics at the highest res. 1 GB which will hold 400 pics. The only thing I would warn you about is: If you try to use a used memory card, you will need to format it with the camera though the menu, or with Windows, befor you use it. I tried to use one from my old camera and the transfer software wouldn't work on two different computers, it kept saying "Enumerating" and never read the pics. After formatting the card, it was fine. Also, this camera claims to support only specific SD cards from SanDisk, Panasonic and Toshiba, which is weird because I thought SD was a standard. See page 102 of the manual.

Good Little Camera,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)
This small Nikon easily fits in your pocket. The large screen makes it easier to take pictures that aren't on a tilt (a problem I had with my Pentax). The photos are well-defined, with true color. I have had this camera less than a month, so I don't know how durable it will be. So far, so good.
