Nikon Coolpix L10 Review

by Tracey Capen

- The Nikon Coolpix L10 ($120 as of 5/10/07) is an excellent value for a simple snapshot camera. Yet there's nothing cheap-looking about the L10: It has a stylish, thin-profile body that slides nicely into a pocket.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: small size, good price

Weaknesses: auto-focus

Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera after my old camera died while on vacation. I didn't do a lot of research so I went for a small cheap camera and that is what this is. If you are looking for a small camera to keep handy this is worth a look.However, I hate the auto-focus on this camera. It often fails to work, when it does it is slow. When the image is dark you might as well forget it. The image quality is good, not great. I keep this little guy in my backpack where ever I go, so I always have a camera handy and for that its small size and price more than make up for its other shortcomings.
