Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Nikon Coolpix L15 is a quality compact digital camera that combines high performance with operating ease and the support of advanced features, including optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization. Built on a custom application of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept and incorporating the precision optics of a Nikkor lens, the Coolpix L15 is built to realize optimum performance and maximum image quality.

Offering the full imaging potential of 8.0 effective megapixels, the Coolpix L15 captures true-to-life color with enough fine details to leave plenty of creative freedom to crop or produce beautiful enlargements. The precision optics of a 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens covers the highly practical range of 35-105mm (35mm equivalent), ensuring capture of various scenes from panoramic vistas to close-up portraits.

Optical lens shift VR image stabilization counteracts the effects of camera shake in lower light or when shooting unsteady subjects to help achieve sharper results. Active full time, VR also stabilizes images displayed on the 2.8-inch high-resolution LCD monitor for easier framing and more reassured shooting.

Intuitive operation and dedicated controls ensure faultless command over the performance features of the Coolpix L15. This includes the dedicated buttons on the top of the body for switching between shooting and playback modes. The expansive 2.8-inch high-resolution LCD monitor offers a bright and large image that makes it a pleasure to view, even out in the sun. And the no-nonsense design of the body itself assures a solid grip combined with the inviting balance of flowing surfaces contrasted by sharp edge lines.

Nikon Coolpix L15 Feature Highlights

Proven optical lens shift VR image stabilization
Field-proven technology originally developed for interchangeable lenses used in Nikon SLR camera systems, optical lens shift VR image stabilization provides the ability to shoot at shutter speeds as much as three steps slower without blurring the image, whilst also producing a smoother image when shooting.

New Easy Auto mode and scene modes for carefree shooting
Easy Auto mode makes it easier to turn on the camera and shoot without worrying about settings. Easy access to 15 different scene modes and three movie modes also ensures shooting that is tuned to give the best results to match the moment.

Three Unique Nikon Image Innovations
The Coolpix L15 features a selection of three innovative functions that provide the ability to actually improve the quality of images within the camera. Face-priority AF automatically finds, and focuses on people's faces for crisp, clear results time after time. (Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions.) In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically compensates to help eradicate traces of the annoying red-eye effect that can sometimes be encountered during flash photography. And D-Lighting can be applied to improve underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight. D-Lighting automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched.

AA-size batteries for carefree shooting, anywhere
The Coolpix L15 runs on AA-size batteries, a standard battery size available in virtually every corner of the world. This means carefree shooting anywhere, free of any worries about running out of power or needing to recharge when that special moment arises.

ISO 1000 capability for better pictures in lower light
Making it easier to take great-looking pictures in lower lighting conditions or to capture fast moving subjects with outstanding clarity, the Coolpix L15 accurately measures available light to automatically select the optimal sensitivity setting for the shot between the range of ISO 64 to as high as ISO 1000.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Nikon L15, January 30, 2008

By	Kristina Howden "Kristina" (Lincoln City, OR) - See all my reviews

Great camera to work with for beginners, I needed just a basic camera, with good quality photos worthy of prints and internet display as I do take a lot of photos. Wish it came with an SD card because I take so many photos. I have to go out and buy one. Might not be perfect, might not be fast enough to take them, and if you use the flash too close to a light object it becomes whited out so you can't tell what it is- but if you move back some you can then see what's in the picture. I like it and it is good enough for me. Under $130- for an 8 megapixel is a bargain I think.
