Nikon Coolpix L6 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Reviews

Summary: Fantastic! Impossible to beat for the price.
Comment: I've had this since February of 2007, so after 20 months of heavy usage, I'm commenting on it.

Few cons: Low maximum ISO setting, flash takes a bit long to recharge ONLY when the batteries get to around or below 1/2 life. And the flash can come off as somewhat weak, but it's not an advanced point and shoot or an SLR, so it's somewhat acceptable for a much less expensive model.

Pros: Everything else! All the shooting modes work great for just about any situation you may find yourself in. The different color modes work flawlessly when in AUTO (only available in AUTO). Videos are pretty fantastic for such a budget minded camera. I've taken many videos from vacations, in the shop at work, at car shows... and all were great. The visuals are sharp as well as the surprisingly good audio quality.

-Outperforms Kodak Z1275/Z1285(twice the MP's of this L6) and is just as good if not better than the Olympus FE-340(which is another great little camera, by the way). All of which I have used, and this Little L6 constantly takes better shots.

I've gotten used to it's capabilities now, so any bad shots are usually my fault.

Great buy! Never had an actual problem. I would highly recommend the L6 as either a first camera or a carry along/back up for just about anyone. No disappointments here.

Summary: My review with corrections
Comment: Hi, for those who want to buy this camera, it's great, but I have to correct some of the things said in the previews review.

- You can watch pictures withouth the lens opened. If the camera is tured off, just press the "play" button for 3 seconds and the camera turns on without the lens out.
- Also when recording videos, you can zoom while recording, not wile playing it which is different. While you're recording a video you can zoom + or - whatever you desire, and then you see the playback as you record it, but not zooming it because it's a video file...

In other words, great camera for the value, Nikor lenses gives great definition of picture, the red eye fixed works great, and with easy menu manageability (which doesn't work with Sony and others)...

Summary: Too slow!!
Comment: Do not buy if you are taking pictures of anything alive!! If you like to wait for 10 secs of smiling before the picture snaps this camera is for you. What a great camera for still shots, but the shutter speed is the slowest I have ever seen. I cannot express enough how slow it is.

Summary: Great camera
Comment: This is actually our second time buying this camera. My 15 year old bought this camera once with her own money and loved it, so we were very sad when it met an untimely end after falling out of her sweatshirt pocket, over a balcony, down 3 stories into a parking lot of a hotel we were at on vacation. Miraculously, the memory card was spared and she was able to pull all her pics from there. When it came time for her to get a new camera she and I both spent alot of time searching different cameras but she ultimately bought this one again. It does everything she needs and she uses pretty much all the features on it. It's very easy to understand all the features and access them. Its a great camera, takes good pics, has decent video for what she needs with her friends and aside from the crash landing we've had no problems with either one.
