The NIKON Coolpix L4 is an ideal camera choice for anyone who is looking to stay on a budget. Not only is this camera compact, but it is definitely worth the price that you will pay for it. According to CNET, the pictures which are taken with this camera are much better than those of other cameras at the same value. This is what makes it an ideal choice for its value range. One of the biggest problems that CNET fund with this digital camera is the fact that it does not have very many features to offer to you. Cameras believes that the main benefit which makes this camera so very appealing is the fact that it is such an easy camera to use. You will not need to worry about learning how to figure out the functions that this camera has to offer you, as it is very simplified.

Cameras has also found that the overall performance of this digital camera was very slow, which is not appealing for anyone who is looking to make sure that they do not miss a single shot when they need it. Another thing which they do not like about the NIKON Coolpix L4 is the fact that it does not provide the best images in indoor settings. On the other hand, some of the things that they did really like about the camera include the fact that it packed with some pretty neat features, the fact the design and build of the camera is pretty good, there is no red eye in the test shots, and it is great for outdoor settings. Overall, if you are looking for a camera which will take some of its best pictures outdoors, then chances are that the NIKON Coolpix L4 is the best choice for you. However, if you want something that you will mainly use indoors or something which has high speed performance, then this is probably not the most suitable digital camera choice for you.

    I’ve reviewed a lot of digital SLRs and other expensive high-performance cameras recently, so I thought it was about time I took a look at the other end of the market, the budget-priced low-spec compacts. Never one to do things by halves, this week I’ve got the cheapest camera I’ve ever reviewed, and rather surprisingly it’s a Nikon. Read more

    This is the first digital camera I have used and I am delighted with it. Advantages: I particularly wanted a camera which is good at close-up photography so that I could photograph pages of antiquarian books showing clear print and physical features, and small items of porcelain, but I didn't want to pay a lot whilst I was still experimenting as a novice. I also wanted something small and light, that I could slip into a handbag or pocket. The camera fulfilled all these... Read more

    The Nikon coolpix L4 is a great little camera. It's easy to use and with 4 mega pixels it takes good clear photographs. You can take it straight out of the box, load the batteries and shoot. It's that simple. I bought one for my daughter. I was so impressed with it,I bought one for myself.For the price I can't fault it. Read more
