...fan of Nikon, but this Nikon L3 really disappointed me.
I still have a professional, traditional, film Nikon camera and the pictures are just great. I had then a Nikon Coolpix 2100 as a point-and-shoot digital camera and it was absolutely fine. Then in October last year I decided to upgrade the Coolpix 2100 to something better. I thought 5 million pixels would be enough, so I bought a Nikon Coolpix L3, the new generation of Coolpix. Big mistake… ...that it was not a Nikon this time. I just lost faith in them. I bought myself a Fuji and is just brilliant, it just shows the Nikon L3 how pathetic its performance is
I actually wrote to Nikon UK (as a coincidence, I live 200 yards from their UK headquarters…) explaining them how bad this camera is. They never replied to me, but now, the L3 is not actually available on their website in the list of products (L4 and L2 are, but they ... more
I was a big fan of Nikon, but this Nikon L3 really disappointed me. I still have a professional, traditional, film Nikon camera and the pictures are just great. I had then a Nikon Coolpix 2100 as a point-and-shoot digital camera and it was absolutely fine. Then in October last year I decided to upgrade the Coolpix 2100 to something better. I thought 5 million pixels would be enough, so I bought a Nikon Coolpix L3, the new generation of Coolpix. Big mistake…
The camera looks great, it has a sturdy, elegant and smooth finish and on paper it has a lot of features:
- 5 megapixels - Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens (38-116mm in 35mm equivalent) - Macro focus with AF as close as 1.6 inches - The D-Lighting function that selects and creates a copy of images with excessive backlight or insufficient flash illumination, adding light and detail wherever needed while keeping other areas as they were - The Face-priority AF function automatically detects and then focuses in on people’s faces, regardless of where they are in the frame, ensuring superb crisp-focus portraits - The In-Camera Red-Eye Fix function analyzes each image, automatically finding and then correcting the accidental red-eye that sometimes occurs in flash photography, for more natural-looking portraits. - You have a choice of 15 different Scene modes – 4 with Scene assist – makes it so much easier to achieve desired results in a wide range of everyday situations. - Large 2.0-inch glare-resistant color monitor (but NO optical viewfinder), which worked pretty well even if exposed in bright sunlight - 640x480 @ 30fps movie mode w/sound, length limited only by memory card capacity - Built-in flash with auto, fill, slow sync, and red-eye reduction - 23MB internal memory and SD memory card slot (If you have this camera, then buy yourself a 1GB SD card, you can find one now for 15 pounds) - USB connectivity, PictBridge direct-print compliant - Powered by two standard AA type batteries (this is what I liked always at Nikon, some of their cameras allow you to use standard AA batteries, so you can never get without a battery just when getting “that special picture”, as you can buy them everywhere
These are the main features, but this review is not about detailing everything the camera has, but rather tell you my experience with it.
The controls and Menu are easy to navigate (for me it was piece of cake, as I had another Coolpix before)
Everything sounded great, then the problems started:
- The pictures are not great at all ! The quality is worse than the Coolpix 2100, a lot of noise and colors did not reflect the real world. Even if modified via a Professional Picture Software, you can tell the quality is not so great. And I can’t afford to spend 30 minutes per picture to get a quality that it should be there delivered by the camera itself - Is taking forever to take a shoot. You press the button and it takes few seconds to take the picture. And your shoot is gone. We have a 3 years old daughter and we missed so many pictures because of that ! - The flash adds a monumental almost 15-20 seconds between shoots you can take, rendering the camera useless for taking pictures. - Indoor pictures and low light ones are just rubbish. If I use the flash, is not powerful enough, not even in 2-3 meters (even it says in the features that works up until 3 metres). If I don't use the flash in low light and choose specific scenes, the picture gets blurry. Every time !! Even if using a tripod ! I mean, this is what the camera itself tells me ( the camera has a Blur Warning, which detects camera movement during the exposure, warning you that the image is blurred and giving you the choice of saving the picture or not. If you are satisfied, you can save it; if not, you can retake it with flash or Best Shot Selector on, ensuring that you leave with a better image) - The movies (which are QuickTime) are OK, but the sound can be affected by the smallest of noise (like wind blowing very-very mild - on the movie it sounds like shooting in a storm…)
Comparing the pictures from the Coolpix 2100 with the L3 you can tell the difference in quality straight away. One is 4 years old, one is “new generation”…
I feel sorry I gave away the 2100, actually, and bought this one.
I am not an amateur in photography and I tried several settings on the camera, changing exposure and brightness, but no success, the pictures are just NOT GOOD. By the way, you can’t modify the ISO sensitivity settings on this Nikon, it just uses the Fully Automatic one, which is not really great.
One really good thing about the L3 was the battery life, with NiMH rechargeable batteries I was able to take over 100 pictures, with around 40% being taken with flash.
But I decided to basically dump the L3 and go get myself a good camera. The only thing is that it was not a Nikon this time. I just lost faith in them. I bought myself a Fuji and is just brilliant, it just shows the Nikon L3 how pathetic its performance is
I actually wrote to Nikon UK (as a coincidence, I live 200 yards from their UK headquarters…) explaining them how bad this camera is. They never replied to me, but now, the L3 is not actually available on their website in the list of products (L4 and L2 are, but they withdraw the L3)
I just hope I helped others to avoid buying this camera, it is literally not worth the money.
Advantages: Great photos, compact size and simple to use. Disadvantages: For the money, there aren't any.
...limited, so I bought a Nikon L3.
Although the L3 boasts 5 megapixels I didn't have great expectations of the results, due to the relatively short zoom lens and small size of the camera. The L3 uses SD digital media cards, which are available in different speeds and capacities. I bought a 1Gb Ultra 2 card, which could be considered mid range. The camera announced that this card would accommodate nearly 800 full resolution photos. It's fair to say ... ...image, even using the Ultra 2 card. I didn't find this to be a problem, as I wasn't shooting continuous sequences. If you see this lag as being a problem to you, an Ultra 3 SD card will reduce it, as the write speed is considerably faster. There is of course a price premium for the faster cards.
Opening the box, I found the instruction book, which is well worth a read. Also all the necessary leads to connect the camera to a pc, together with the ...

Advantages: Generally decent quality pictures. small and easy to take everywhere Disadvantages: Some delay in taking pictures can leave them blurry
I bought this camera as my first camera and have had it for the best part of a year and a half now. Overall i think it is a great starting camera and good value for money. Its 5 megapixel camera makes it decent for shooting pictures of friends or family whether at home or out. If you are looking for extreme quality pictures and considering sum serious photography then it probably isnt for you but if you just want to capture some memories then its ... ...you go whether in your bag or pocket, although i would recommend getting a case for it as if it knocks about in your pocket then it can turn itself on which'll waste battery life and could well damage the telescopic lens. A problem i did have with it is that it can sometimes be pretty tricky to get a good focus if the you dont hold it still enough so instant quick shots might not be as decent. Also, when you click to take a picture there is a delay ...

...i saw!), and to my Nikon COOLpix L3 (the most compact but powerful digital camera!)!
Those cameras i have mentioned above are own by my uncles and aunts who they ask my help (i'm proud to be their computer/digital consultant!) on how to use theirs! One of the most outstanding feature of my camera is the power-saving (not a battery consuming monster!) and its compactness (it's so small you can put it in your pocket!).
Also the photos are great! ... ...know which mode is best on a particular setting. Another weakness is the shutter lag, you can't take photo after photo. You need to wait for some secs (but you're running out of time because your subject had changed angle).
But for over-all, I love my Nikon Coolpix L3! ...

Quick review of Nikon Coolpix L3
I bought this camera three years ago. It was my first digital camera. There was a lot of good factors. First, it's light weight and easy to take any where. It even fits in a really small evening bag I have for special events. I dropped it a few times and it did not break. After the falls, there was only a few minor scratches. The lens still worked fine. Two, it takes good quality pictures. Third, it's fairly easy to use.
There are some drawbacks, though. When you take a certain amount of pictures and over, it really slows down. Two, it can take awhile to snap a picture. Three, it's difficult to turn off the flash. These are really the only problems I've had with this camera.
This is a good camera for a really low price. if you can find it, I say buy it. You won't regret it. The minor flaws it has are worth it. ...
