Although the camera is small and light. Easy to use. But it has a poor quality finish to it. The battery cover looks as though it is made of low grade plastic. Picture quality is OK, nothing great, but what else do you expect from a camera $100 or so.

I just bought this camera and so far it works perfect. Quality of photos is also acceptable and fair enough comparing to my investment.

Takes good and clear pictures. However, it needs a memory card for anything more than 6 pictures.

This small Nikon easily fits in your pocket. The large screen makes it easier to take pictures that aren't on a tilt (a problem I had with my Pentax). The photos are well-defined, with true color. I have had this camera less than a month, so I don't know how durable it will be. So far, so good.

Review: BEWARE OF WHICH MEMORY CARD YOU ORDER !!
by: Manuel R. Suarez on date: May 13, 2007

->Comparison Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I ordered this item from Amazon a few days ago and have just received it. At the time I ordered, there was an offer of a 1 GB SD memory card advertised with the camera so I bought it too.
HOWEVER... the card turns out to be a "Kingston" technology brand NOT TESTED AND NOT APPROVED BY NIKON according to the literature that came with the camera (just checked it). NIKON only approves SanDisk, Toshiba and Panasonic.
I find it a bit questionable or maybe misleading on the part of Amazon to advertise this card together with the camera knowing that Nikon has not tested and approved this brand. At least a warning to this effect should have been given to the potential buyer.
It may be argued that SD cards of different brands all work and all are of similar techonology. However, the customer may prefer to use what the OEM recommends and approves. More so in view of the warning that Nikon indicates in the literature that about the use of 'not approved items" possibly voiding the guarantee.

Review: Nice, Cheap and Small

->Cheap Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I bought this camera for my daughter and was pretty impressed. It is easy to use, takes great pictures, has a lot of options, and is very small (pocket-sized). In fact it was kind of depressing because I paid $250 for a 5MP this time last year.

You will need a memory card for this camera. The internal memory only holds 3 pics at the highest res. 1 GB which will hold 400 pics.

The only thing I would warn you about is: If you try to use a used memory card, you will need to format it with the camera though the menu, or with Windows, befor you use it. I tried to use one from my old camera and the transfer software wouldn't work on two different computers, it kept saying "Enumerating" and never read the pics. After formatting the card, it was fine. Also, this camera claims to support only specific SD cards from SanDisk, Panasonic and Toshiba, which is weird because I thought SD was a standard. See page 102 of the manual.

Review: Highly Improved Low End L Series
by: P. Yamagata on date: April 2, 2007

->Lowest Price Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

With the standard proviso that tech stuff always gets better and cheaper, I highly recommend this new camera model for the low price. I have only had it for two days, since Nikon didn't warranty my broken LCD screen on my L4. Please do be careful with the fragile nature of these electronics! I didn't drop it or abuse it, and it apparently broke in my pocket within a padded case!

Back to the L10, most everything is better than the previous, low end, L cameras, with improved sound, and what is great for me, voice recording capacity, outside of 20 second voice memos attached to a particular photo. While digital voice recorders are cheap for PCs, I have a Mac and previously, only iPods with accessories, or other costly recorders, can create sound files to be then imported to your computer and then burned to CDs. With just a 512 MB card, you can record for hours.

The image quality is a bit bluish, some color cast that hopefully can be corrected with software. The sharpness looks O.K., and for the price, it's fine for me. This makes a great back-up camera, as I use another more expensive L series camera. On the road, I can't afford missing a great scenic shot, or hundreds of those.

The L10 is smaller and slimmer than the L4. It carries well in your pocket. It has slightly simpler buttons and controls. The lens retraction is quicker on shut-off, and the zoom is rather abrupt. Other new, handy features are characteristic of the planned obsolescence of most tech items. Goodies that will have you wanting to upgrade!

It will remain to be seen how durable this camera turns out to be, but I have high hopes. I intend to be more careful, and never subject this beauty to shock or any possibility of drops.

Speaking with a tech support rep, you need to have nickel metal hydride batteries with more than 2000 mAh worth of power, in lieu of what they recommend (Nikon-approved rechargables). Some of my Ray-o-Vacs aren't.

I'm using only the approved SD cards, but they now support up to 4GB cards. That's great if you can trust the card not to fail--why I buy several in smaller capacities, and therefore don't have all my eggs in one basket. You'll get enough memory, then at 4 GB, for probably then, a few thousand photos storage.

One major thing they can work on are the streaks that still appear in movie mode when faced with bright reflections or sun. Not as bad in earlier L's, these don't appear in final still images, but are seen in movies. You then have to remember not to shoot movies outside of evenly lit scenes. My older Coolpix cameras didn't have this problem. The movie quality is pretty good, but a bit down from my movies using my L5. Shooting movies of a train, the bells and horns are much clearer sounding than the earlier models.

Despite what the ads say, I can find no VR feature on this model, and nothing about it in the manual. Unless it is enabled all the time, which it seems to be not, you may wish to wait till this excellent feature becomes standard on all models. For more serious photographers, VR is included on the higher end, new L's.

Also, I see nothing about ISO capability to 800, but I haven't yet tried night or low light scenes. One telephoto came out blurred, with no blur warning, there.

All in all, this is fantastic technology, all at a highly affordable price, and although Nikon isn't the top rated brand as it used to be, I'd get this as a first, around-the-home and back-up, digital camera, if you haven't owned a good one yet.

Review: Great little camera

->Shipping Nikon Coolpix L10 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I have had two Nikon Coolpix 995 Cameras and hated them both. I also have a Canon Rebel XT which is a great camera for more "intended" use. But the Canon was too large to tote with me on my last trip to Asia, so, on the advice of a friend, I decided I would pick up a small digital camera in Sinapore for "pennies on the dollar". So, knowing nothing about prices of recreational digital cameras, I picked up this camera for 220 USD and, at the time, felt pretty good about it (again, the same friend suggested that 220 was a good buy). This place was supposed to be the electronic dumping grounds from Chinese production lines but I paid double what Amazon has it for. I love the camera because it reliably takes good pictures with little effort inside and out and slips inconspicuously into my pocket when not in use. I would strongly recommend buying this product from Amazon or one of its syblings such as the L11 . . .

I bought this sweet little thing because I am planning a day in NYC and don't want to bring along my regular camera, which is bulky. This camera is nice and small and would fit in any purse or coat pocket. It has 5 MP and a 3X optical zoom which is great for the price. The pictures I took outside turned out outstanding. Inside pics were a bit pixelated, but I may have had the settings wrong. The camera is easy to use right out of the box.

Perfect for a second camera to keep on you just in case.
