hi

The Nikon Coolpix L10 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. I liked using the L10, for the most part. Despite its small size, it felt comfortable, even when shooting one-handed. Startup is a quick 2 seconds. Everything is kept simple--there's no mode dial. The photos I took looked nearly as sharp as those produced by my 5.1-megapixel Olympus (which, a few years ago, was state-of-the-art and five times more expensive). The L10 earns an overall image quality score of Good on indoor shots. It earns high marks for exposure and color accuracy, but low ones for sharpness and distortion. In my informal shots, colors tended to look a little weak. In auto mode, an outdoor scene with lots of sky and water had a bluish tint. Switching to Daylight color balance made the whites a little brighter. An indoor flash photo had better colors when I switched to the camera's Party/Indoor scene mode. Overall it has all the features to be the best seller.

Nikon Coolpix L10

Duration of ownership: Strengths: Compact size, inexpensive, easy to operate for the beginner Weaknesses: Weak performance in low light, slow recycle time between shots Overall Evaluation: This is a fairly nice camera for the money. It would be a nice camera to introduce a person to digital photography. It did not meet my personal needs due to very poor performance in low light situations and slow recycle times. But I gave it to my daughter to learn photography on and its perfect for her. I would recommend this camera for that purpose only - as a teaching aid.
