This compact, stylish digital camera packs a punch in technology and features not expected in such an affordable option, particularly from a name brand like Nikon. Bravo… terrific value.

What more can I say. It was a birthday present for my thirteenth birthday, hence I am over 13.

I love my camera. It is beautiful, functional, and colorful, just like Kate Moss.

I received my Coolpix L18 as a birthday gift. For photos, I’d give it only 2 stars. For video, considering what the camera is (a portable webcam), I’d give it 4 stars… Hence the 3 star rating.

For a camera primarily designed for still pictures, the Coolpix camera does a decent job with video. If you’re a video blogger, or just want something small that can fit in your pocket, then the Coolpix camera might be for you.

HOWEVER, if you’re taking photos of anything other than stationary objects, you will find this camera to be quite frustrating. There is a shutter lag of nearly two seconds, which is plenty of time for a moving object to leave the field of the viewfinder or change to an undesirable position. I had hoped that disabling the flash (to get rid of the pre-flash) would eliminate this problem, and while there is a slight decrease in the delay, it’s not enough to make a big difference.

In addition, there are problems with the auto-focus. It has some nice functions for focusing on faces, but if you like to take close-ups (as I do with my nature photography… with flowers and butterflies), you can expect your subject to be completely fuzzy and out of focus. This is also a problem in low-light conditions with photos that aren’t close-up.

Sure, this camera can take some decent pictures, but if you want to take pictures at sporting events, animals, low light conditions and close-ups, DON’T GET THIS CAMERA!!! You will only develop a lot of frustration.
