3.0 out of 5 stars Some good (great pics), some bad (eats batteries), August 30, 2007

There are some things that Nikon did right with this camera, but mostly they got it wrong. Although I love my Nikon Coolpix 3100 (3 megapixels), some may want to avoid the Nikon Coolpix L11.

First, the good. It takes great pictures and fits into your pocket. OK for snapshots under normal conditions. I also have had some professional quality pics with good color saturation then the light is good. The camera remembers your settings (eg, exposure compensation) after being turned off, meaning you don't need to reset them each time you power up/down.

Now the bad:

1. As one reviewer noted, it does not have a viewfinder, only an LCD monitor. First, powering the LCD screen makes it eat batteries. Next, the LCD screen is useless in bright light because you can't see what's on the screen.

2. Once the camera alerts you that it's turning off after a certain period of non-use (eg, 60 seconds), it takes a long time to actually turn off. And in the meantime, there's nothing you can do to stop it from turning off. Not good it you want to get that great shot.

3. The cycling time between pics is very long. It takes about 1.5 - 2 seconds to recycle and get ready for the next shot.

4. The "multi-selector" (the large round dial in the back that lets you select flash, timer, exposure, and macro settings) is prone to operator error (meaning it's too small and you will select the wrong setting a lot (eg, exposure instead of timer). This means you need to scroll out of the wrong setting, back into the correct setting. Again, a time waster.

5. It can be very noisy (the pictures look grainy) in night pics.


The price isn't bad for 6 megapixles, but I suspect the low price is indicative of how much some people don't like this camera. Still, I think it's a three star.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great camera for the money...and even for more money, July 20, 2007

This is a great camera. I have used and owned several cameras, including three Canons (all great), a Panasonic (not so great), and now this one. This is what I wanted in a camera, things I think all of us are looking for:
1) Price - I was looking for a camera around $[...]. This narrows the field considerably.
2) Picture quality - Obviously, this is why you buy a camera. I would never buy a camera from a company that isn't famous for them, such as Samsung. I compared the Nikon L11 to the Canon A550/560 since these two are really the best budget buys out there.
3) Size, AA batteries, SD card - all these features make for a great an inexpensive camera to use. The Canon is too bulky too comfortably put in your pant pockets.
4) Speed - this is also essential. Nothing is more annoying than a snapshot camera without the "snap".

This is a great camera that I would recommend to anyone. Go to [...] for an expert opinion.
Thanks,

This review is from: Nikon Coolpix L11 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I bought this camera after returning the camera called Lumix by panasonic, because the Lumix didnt have audio during video, which is very important to me. Anyways, this camera is awesome with all the features including zoom during video, audio, crisp pictures, etc. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because during video recording you can hear a low buzzing noise during playback. The picture quality is excellant but the underlying buzz noise is kinda a drag. Also, you need to read your manual and reset some settings if you want to use flash or not during auto mode. Its the BSS ON/OFF setting. I added some pics if you wanna see them. Good batter life for a digital camera. Buy rechargeables of course.
