Product Description

The Nikon Coolpix L5 provides a generous 7.2 megapixel resolution and produces images with great picture clarity, which can be fully appreciated on the bright 2.5" LCD. The powerful, 38-190mm equivalent Zoom-Nikkor lens ensures matchless compositional freedom, from zooming in for intimate personal portraits to zooming out for expansive outdoor scenes. Furthermore, Lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR) technology allows the user to make the most of 5x optical zoom lens. The Coolpix L5 makes it simple to get great-looking results in challenging situations. Three unique in-camera Nikon image innovations adjust the image, detecting and correcting imperfections: Face Priority AF automatically detects and achieves sharp focus on people's faces wherever they are in the frame; In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically overcomes the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash; and D-Lighting makes it possible to rescue underexposed images or shots taken with too much back-light. In addition, there are 15 different Scene modes to select from to optimize the camera settings for your particular shooting conditions.

This is one of the best all-around digital cameras on the market. It takes movies, stills, macro...everything you could possibly need. It has the capability of using regular AA batteries, instead of the rechargeable kind, which is very useful for field work. It is small and compact, so it fits nicely into a shirt pocket or handbag. It's lightweight, durable, and takes abuse well. I use this camera exclusively in my work, and the photos are always sharp and clear.

I can't get the camera to use the SD card. I have tried new ones and ones that I know are useable in my other camera. Neither one could be used or formated...the option doesn't come up to format.
