My wife and I just recently replaced our Sony DSC-W5 (5 megapixel) camera with this one, and here are our impressions so far:
1) The Anti-Shake AE is something new for us, as the DSC-W5 didn't have it. Actually, we would get blurry pictures all the time in low-light situations with the DSC-W5 (which did not have Anti-Shake AE), and the new Nikon L18 does not seem to have as much trouble as the old camera did. Low light pictures seem to come out great.
2) This camera removed red-eye in the camera AUTOMATICALLY. You don't know how much of a time saver this is! My old DSC-W5 took crappy pictures when we turned on the red-eye protection, and the L18's pictures are MUCH better with the anti red-eye.
3) This camera does a better job of focusing on people than my old DSC-W5 did. It was pretty impressive to see multiple focal points on the easy-shoot mode. The focus was spot-on.
4) The colors are bright and vibrant. Much more so than my old DSC-W5.
5) The screen on this camera is HUGE. We love the sharpness and brightness on it.
6) It supports the new SD-HC cards. That means we can put the new 4GB and 8GB cards in it, and aren't limited to just the 2GB ones.
7) The Video capture (640x480 VGA) takes great, sharp AVI video captures. Great for those times where you don't have your camcorder available.
8) There is some limited internal memory in case your memory card gets full!
9) You can have any picture come up on the startup screen. So we took a picture of our name and phone number, put it in the internal memory, and set it as the start up picture. That way, any honest person that finds our camera has the info to return it.
All in all, this is no SLR or any other high end camera, but it does well what we need it to do - capture our four children and the wonderful moments in their lives. |
Excellent Point and Shoot

I have had many digital cameras. At the moment I also own 3 Nikon SLRs, the D40/80/300.
When I am out walking the dog in the desert, the L18 is the camera I usually take. Picture quality is fine, and the really wonderful thing is you can use AA NiMh rechargeable batteries in it. Battery life is good.
For the price this is a great little light weight camera. |
I Love this camera!

I recently had the L12, went on vacation and well they don't take well to getting in swimming pools! So I purchased this one as it's replacement. I love it even more! Has a lot more features and is very easy to use. It is very compact and the 3" lcd screen is great. The only think I don't like is they put the SD card slot in the battery compartment. I like it better with it's own compartment, I take hundreds of pictures a month and I find it easier to take the card out of the camera and use a card reader on my computer, instead of connecting the camera to the computer.
Over all I recommend this camera to all levels of camera users!

| I wanted a camera that wouldn't be too hard to use and this is it. The Coolpix Camera was recommended to me by a salesman. It is one of the best recommendations I've had in a long time. The camera takes great pictures, love the anti-shake, anti-red eye, zoom, face recognition, ease of use, just to name a few. I recommend the Coolpix 100% percent. |
Fast Downloads!

| This was purchased to replace another digital camera that was broken. The key feature sought was the large LCD screen. The features of this camera surpassed our expectations. This camera is used primarily for online auction photos of clothing and jewelry. The close up photos are very good quality. It downloads the photos to the computer in about 1/2 the time of the previously used camera. The zoom is not as strong as the previous camera, but for the intended use it works perfectly. The memory card purchased was significantly lower in price than for the other camera. Very nice product for the price. |
