I use the product daily. I enjoy the small size of the camera. I still can't seem to get it to focus and take a clear photo of exactly what im taking a picture of.

This camera is horrible for taking pictures of kids or any action for that matter. Subjects have to be completely still to get a good shot. I am very disappointed and wish I went with the Canon Powershot instead.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L20 Digital Camera - Red:

You get what you pay for. It's a handy little camera to use for everyday events, but you're not going to get really nice features with this little thing. I'm in the preservation/renovation business, so I keep this by my side in my tool bag to reference completed projects. If I need great shots I rely on my SLR.

I bought the camera for my daughters graduation. We are also going to Hawaii and I can't wait to take pictures there. The camera's battery saver does shut down to soon so you may miss a shot waiting for it to come on again.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L20 Digital Camera - Red:

I love my camera. Its easy to use and light weight. I bought it for myself for Mothers Day this year and i have used it everyday since. It takes great video and the in camera playback is a great tool. I love the cropping feature, however, I wish it did have more in camera editing tools. Sometimes it doesnt want to focus and it can be a little irritating to have to go through and find the right setting (unless you use the Auto feature). Over all I highly recommend this camera.

I love this camera. It is my first Nikon in years. I am all for a camera that is not complicated to use and this one far surpasses my previous "other brand" cameras for ease of use. The pictures are so vibrant they jump off the paper at you when printed! I am enjoying this camera and know I will for a long time to come!!

 
nice camera, bad card?
By MASVerified Purchaser from manhattan, NY on 5/5/2009
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L20 Digital Camera - Red:

After first 5000 shots, I can say that this camera is really nice to use. User friendly interface, shiny features. Really a camera to carry always in the pocket.
However, the ones who like real colors might not like some modes since so many image processing is going inside. Sometimes (for example in backlight mode) this processing is so much that things can even looak artificial in the photo. hwoever, this is possibly because of the capability to shoot even very bad light conditions.
Also be very careful about the card you are using. I buy the one recommended by the 'abes of maine' but in every 4 or 5 hundred, 10 of the is simply lost. I do not know if this is a fault of the camera or the card but just be careful!

Nikon Coolpix L20
By J.P.Verified Purchaser from Montrose , CA on 4/21/2009
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L20 Digital Camera - Red:

Nice little camera. Great outdoors or with medium light. Not so good in a dark museum or closse up.
Video is a nice feature but it kills batteries after about 20 minutes. On the other hand, I've taken more than 200 photos under all circumstances, flash outside, etc with no battery loss.
