If you're in the market for a compact digital camera for daily use, put the Nikon CoolPix L18 at the top of your list. Small enough that it can slip into a pocket or purse easily, the Nikon CoolPix L18 offers an easy-to-handle camera ideal for adventure vacations, concerts, parties, or anywhere else that a larger camera may be difficult to manage.
Although a small camera, the Nikon CoolPix L18 has the technology to render large and clear photographs. With 8.0 megapixels the CoolPix L18 can produce files that will print crystal clear images as large as 16 X 20 inches. This great camera is also equipped with Nikon's advanced technology, called Expeed, which preserves the same brightness and vibrant colors that you would usually need a more expensive camera for. Expeed is lightning fast and as a result the L18 can take multiple shots, over and over, producing a higher quality picture.
The CoolPix L18 has a great 3.0 inch LCD screen, and as a result you will be able to preview your pictures more easily and ultimately you have a much easier time lining up your shots. On bright and sunny days, you'll be happy to know the LCD screen also is coated with Nikon's Anti-Reflection technology.
What's a great photo, though, if you can't get a little closer? The CoolPix L18's zoom lens takes you in on the action, working with the camera to maintain the natural appearance and high-quality color.
The L18 also comes with an adjustable ISO. If you a camera "newbie" and you don't feel like worrying about lighting, the adjustable ISO, while in automatic mode, will continuously adjust the camera's ISO for you helping you produce "lighting perfect" pictures day or night.
Do you like taking pictures of your kids but you can't seem to keep them still? You'll be happy to know the L18 has a built in "anti-shake" mode. The anti-shake mode works by detecting small movements in your subject and then automatically adjust the shutter speed resulting and in picture without blurring.
And if you spend too much time editing your digital photos to correct lighting issues and red-eye, you'll benefit from the internal processes in the Nikon CoolPix L18 that help prevent common photo issues. The CoolPix' red-eye fix feature searches for occurrences of red-eye in the subjects of each photo and removes red-eye as the picture is snapped. That means, no more tedious editing work once the photo leaves the camera. The D-lighting feature in the CoolPix makes dark areas of photos appear brighter, while leaving properly-lighted sections untouched, and the face priority feature allows the camera to recognize faces and automatically focus each one of them, so group shots come out great, even when some subjects are closer to the camera than others.
Want more features? The CoolPix has even more to offer. To make your picture taking even easier, the automatic mode gives you multiple picture modes to work with including sports, dusk/dawn, portrait, landscape, and museum. These handy automatic mode options intuitively will change the settings and by adjusting the shutter speed will automatically help you produce the best pictures possible.
If you like your cameras to have multiple uses you'll be happy to know the L18 can record video as well as audio. If you have owned a digital camera in the past with video capability you may have been limited to the amount of time you could video record, however, with the CoolPix L18 video and audio recording is unlimited. The only limit you will have on your video and audio recording will be by the size of your memory card.
