 A great camera for the money...and even for more money July 20, 2007

This is a great camera. I have used and owned several cameras, including three Canons (all great), a Panasonic (not so great), and now this one. This is what I wanted in a camera, things I think all of us are looking for:
1) Price - I was looking for a camera around $[...]. This narrows the field considerably.
2) Picture quality - Obviously, this is why you buy a camera. I would never buy a camera from a company that isn't famous for them, such as Samsung. I compared the Nikon L11 to the Canon A550/560 since these two are really the best budget buys out there.
3) Size, AA batteries, SD card - all these features make for a great an inexpensive camera to use. The Canon is too bulky too comfortably put in your pant pockets.
4) Speed - this is also essential. Nothing is more annoying than a snapshot camera without the "snap".
This is a great camera that I would recommend to anyone. Go to [...] for an expert opinion.
Thanks,

There are some things that Nikon did right with this camera, but mostly they got it wrong. Although I love my Nikon Coolpix 3100 (3 megapixels), some may want to avoid the Nikon Coolpix L11.
First, the good. It takes great pictures and fits into your pocket. OK for snapshots under normal conditions. I also have had some professional quality pics with good color saturation then the light is good. The camera remembers your settings (eg, exposure compensation) after being turned off, meaning you don't need to reset them each time you power up/down.
Now the bad:
1. As one reviewer noted, it does not have a viewfinder, only an LCD monitor. First, powering the LCD screen makes it eat batteries. Next, the LCD screen is useless in bright light because you can't see what's on the screen.
2. Once the camera alerts you that it's turning off after a certain period of non-use (eg, 60 seconds), it takes a long time to actually turn off. And in the meantime, there's nothing you can do to stop it from turning off. Not good it you want to get that great shot.
3. The cycling time between pics is very long. It takes about 1.5 - 2 seconds to recycle and get ready for the next shot.
4. The "multi-selector" (the large round dial in the back that lets you select flash, timer, exposure, and macro settings) is prone to operator error (meaning it's too small and you will select the wrong setting a lot (eg, exposure instead of timer). This means you need to scroll out of the wrong setting, back into the correct setting. Again, a time waster.
5. It can be very noisy (the pictures look grainy) in night pics.
The price isn't bad for 6 megapixles, but I suspect the low price is indicative of how much some people don't like this camera. Still, I think it's a three star.
Decent product for the price with some quality concern July 8, 2007

I owned this one for a day and returned it, part of the reason is due to the retailer.
I am looking for a medium resolution point-and-shoot camera using AA batteries. Every thing in the spec of Nikon L10/11/12 looks great and it did perform. It is slim enough to slip it into the pocket. What prompted the return is that it didn't focus exactly. After comparing with a 2MP camera and a 10MP DSLR, I am certain that the focusing of my L11 is not accurate. When I brought it back to Circuit City and said I want to look at other brand, they asked for a 15% re-stocking fee. I decided to take the lost and never go back to Circuit City! Even Ritz has a 10-day no-restocking period!
At another store, I checked an L11 and found somewhat better result on focusing so perhaps I was just unlucky on the first unit.
Another concern on these camera with large soft LCD panel is that it looks vulnerable to impact. The Sony or Canon models with hard plastic panel looks better. Canon is good that it uses normal size USB connector and has optical view finder but the Canon's are too bulky.
I ended up with a Sony 650 even that means getting Memory Stick Pro Duo.
Awesome little camera!! April 8, 2007

I've owned a sequence of the Coolpix cameras and they just get better and better. This one's great!
I have a Coolpix 5600 (??) that I took to Iraq last year -- and loaned it to a co-worker for her own deployment to Iraq. She won't be back before I go again -- therefore I bought this little gem. I couldn't believe the price for a six-megapixel camera. It takes great pictures, I really like the Coolpix size and shape, the LCD screen is bigger and brighter -- and the titanium colored body is simple and elegant.
 Not bad. April 5, 2007

First some of the drawbacks:
First, the l11 is kind of awkwardly designed so it never quite feels right in your hand, it's too rigid and rectangular. Also, you can't set it up (on a table or something) vertically as easily as stouter cameras.
Second, the ISO is really high, but they don't really explain what that does. The sales guy told me that you never really need over 200 or so, and when you get above that you get worse pictures.
Finally, there is such a glut of Coolpix cameras that you can never really tell if you're getting something of quality. The expertise required to rationally decide on one model over another is beyond me, and I'm sure a lot of others as well.
But on the plus side, it takes very large high resolution photographs and has a video mode with audio. The best thing though would have to be the price, which makes it's shortcomings bearable.
