Comments about Nikon Nikon Coolpix L18 Digital Camera, 8.0 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom, 3.0" LCD Display, Red:

I got this camera for my wife as a Christmas present and she loves it. We had a Sony Cybershot previously and this camera really surpasses it in usability, quality and performance.

The picture and video quality are excellent, and its fun to use. Definitely would recommend for the amateur or semi-serious phtotgrapher who's looking for decent point-and-click performance.

This camera was purchased for my wife and she loves it. It has a nice large,bright screen yet small enough to fit in your top pocket.Definately not an "action shot" type camera.The shutter lag drives me crazy. Good point&shoot...This is a "chick Camera" No offense.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Coolpix L18 Digital Camera, 8.0 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom, 3.0" LCD Display, Red:

I bought this for my 80 year-old mother-in-law. She loves the big LCD. It is just big enough for her to hold but not too small that she will drop it. There aren't too many buttons that would just confuse her. She likes it more than a Canon we had bought her before this one. And she LOVES the red color!

Great

An absolute delight for my grandchildren. Used to catch grandparents unaware; irritate one another; nature photos on hikes. Just a good fun camera for two teenagers.

I bought this camera for my non-technical mother for Christmas and she loves it. It is very easy to use, intuitive, nice quality pics, inexpensive, and well worth the money spent. She uses it primarily to take pictures at family gatherings and is very happy with it. The LCD picture is not all that great, but then again what do you expect for the money?!?!

Great Camera For The Price!
