Coolpix L3 is a good buy.

Strengths: Price. Easy to use for basics. Size. Decent options.

Weakness: No optical view finder. Short battery life. Slow flash reset.

I went to Target to get a camera to take pictures of the kids for the Christmas card. I told the salesman that I'd probably return the camera after a couple days and he didn't care. He said I might be surprised with the camera and I was. It's super easy to learn how to use and takes very good pictures too. I think some of the more expensive cameras have too many small buttons and dials for things...

I think some of the more expensive cameras have too many small buttons and dials for things that the average person will probably never use. You get a good bit for your money here. The size is great. I haven't attached the wrist cord because I always keep the camera in my pocket.

Definitely buy some rechargeable batteries

it couldn't be worse...

Strengths: compact, light weight.

Weakness: failed on third day with a massage " Lens Error!"

Failed on third day with a massage " Lens Error!". I don't know about 30 words that I suppose to write, I just can say, that I will never buy Nikon product again

Great value for a nice 5M DC

Strengths: 5M, Good Color and Resolution

Weakness: Slow response, power button is too sensitive

Generally a good DC. Take nice pictures at most situations. In camera red-eye fix and D-lighting. You can crop the pictire in camera, even add voice to the picture. BSS function is very useful. It's a good buy for a low price of $138

Awesome!

Strengths: Color quality; Easy to use; Large monitor; Price

Weakness: I always have a little trouble getting the batteries out. Not a big deal.

This camera is awesome once you learn the ins and outs of using it. I was getting blurry pictures until I realized there was a "sports" shot I could use, then perfection! My photos have great color quality and blow up well into an 8X10. This camera is so great that even my five year old takes great pictures with it, NO KIDDING! She shakes the camera a bit when she holds it and the picture is...

This camera is awesome once you learn the ins and outs of using it. I was getting blurry pictures until I realized there was a "sports" shot I could use, then perfection! My photos have great color quality and blow up well into an 8X10. This camera is so great that even my five year old takes great pictures with it, NO KIDDING! She shakes the camera a bit when she holds it and the picture is still good. I have had the camera a month and I am very happy with it. I read a review stating how great this camera was, so I took a chance and bought it and I am glad I did! You won't be sorry if you purchase the NIKON Cool Pix L3.
