Easy, fun, compact, and cool: I really like my coolpix!:
This is a great little camera, that is easy to use ... just point and click and the picture comes out pretty good pretty much all of the time. Sure there are better cameras, but you've really got to know how to use them to get anything better than what comes almost automatically from this camera. For the price it would be very difficult to surpass the quality and ease of this handy little item that fits nicely in the pocket and is ready to go when you need it. I own a Mac and a PC, and have had... more info

Go figure? Camera has worked out so far so... more info
Great camera... until!:

The red shell adds nothing to the photos, but I'll take that over a dull gray any day. Aside from aesthetics, there are many features packed into this stylish hardware, probably more than I've fully utilized. As with any digital camera,... more info
This is the worst camera I've ever owned.:
I bought the Nikon L18 specifcally over other compact digital's beacuse
of it's AA batteries. That was a mistake. Using the manufacturer's
batteries and charger, if I put a fully charged set of batteries in on
Saturday, and turn the camera on on Monday, I'm rewarded with "Battery
exhausted". Alkalines work better, but not much. When combined with transfer software that can only be described as lame,
compared to the typical "appears as drive d:" camera interface (You can't... more info
