Easy, Breezy Camera!! I bought this camera to replace my Olympus c720 Ultra Zoom (very disappointed with its performance, only 3 yrs old). I wanted a small camera that could take great pictures of children who DO NOT stop for the camera. This camera handles those situations perfectly and the size you cannot beat. I love the long movie time it gives you and the large viewing screen. The modes are easy and the menu is a breeze to navigate with just enough to add features and simple enough to change on the fly witho...

Nikon Coolpix L12 is good, but I purchased the L12 to replace my Coolpix 4600 so I could get sound in the movie mode. This works very well, and I'm more than satisfied with picture quality and battery life, and ease of use. The big problem is no viewfinder. I purchased this camera knowing that there was no viewfinder, but I thought I could get used to composing my pictures on the LCD screen. Unfortunately, the LCD screen is virtually useless outdoors on sunny days. You are reduced to pointing the camera and crossing your...

A nice, user friendly camera, especially for it's price range Wanted a new digicam to replace my Nikon Coolpix 880 which was given as a gift. It worked well, but my main issue was it barely fit even in a large front pocket. I wanted something compact, <200 dollars, preferably cheaper. I decided to stick with Nikon since my 880 worked and held up pretty well, had a nice interface, and to continue using SD cards from my other electronic gadgets (PDA, GPS device, etc.). Nikon's L series has several Coolpix models to choose from that fit the bill. Afte...

A major flaw with this camera I bought this camera and returned it the same day. The reason: when you take a photo, there is a really long waiting period before you can take another photo. If you're not using the flash, it's about 3 seconds, which is manageable, but still slow compared to other cameras. If you are using flash, be prepared to wait. You take a photo, then the LCD screen goes blank and the flash resets itself. You can do nothing during this time - you can't take another photo, you can't turn off the flash, noth...

Great Pocket Camera My wife is the camera aficionado in the family. I've bought her good cameras, film and digital, and for birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas.
Of course, sometimes I get to borrow those. I love her Canon digital SLR, and I can borrow it whenever I need to.
She's a schoolteacher and likes to take pictures on the fly. That's the reason I bought her a Nikon CoolPix pocket camera a couple years ago. At the time, the camera was fairly expensive. I like the idea of hav...

VR is great, camera as good as any other Nikon I just got the camera and first thing I tested was VR.
First I thought it was bad as the pictures were dark and grainy only to realize that this camera has another feature Anti-Shake - Don't use it for low light pictures. VR and Anti-shake are two different options that come with camera.
VR is great. I took picture of wires in a dark nook of my office cube at 2X zoom and without flash and VR, the wires looked blurred. Now I turned on VR, no flash, 2x zoom and the blur on the wires w...

Batteries die after 3-5 photos taken!!! I bought this camera for my sister back home in India as a gift from the Best Buy store, LA. When she got it, she was very excited and she tried to use it. But when I talked with her last time, she was complaining that she couldn't even take 5 photos before the batteries died (Duracell/Energizer battaries). At first I thought that was not possible - how she has to replace batteries every 5 photos she takes! I told her over the phone that, if that was the case - Nikon wouldn't even send this came...

wonderful It was a gift but my niece that just joined the Navy, so far she's sent me such beautiful samples. The most important thing is she loves it and that is all that matters.

good Pictures Faulty Lens I bought the L12 because I saw my son's L11 and I liked the camera. Both my son and I have problems with the lens that make the camera useless at this time. The lens went out and is stuck in that position (don't tell me to change the batteries, we tried). The screen says lens error, but it will not retract and will not work other than to tell us there is a lens error. This happened the second time I used the camera. My son used his a little more, but they were both essentially new cameras t...

Good camera, but poor quality construction Nikon is made in China. What a shame. This could be a fine little camera, but the quality of the case is "cheap" and the lens covers stopped working two weeks after I bought it. The camera is now in the mail to the Nikon service center. We'll see what kind of service it gets, and how quickly I get it back -- either fixed or a replacement.
