Nikon Coolpix L3 review at DPInterface

nikon coolpix l3 reviewDPInterface have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix L3 digital camera.
The Nikon Coolpix L3 is an entry level point and shoot camera with 5 megapixels resolution, a 3 times optical zoom and a 2 inch LCD display.

The reviewer’s opinion:
“Another new camera entering the densely crowded entry-level camera category is the Nikon Coolpix L3. Average battery life, Nikon features, lots of scene modes, in-camera help and it’s super cheap at about $150. Sadly, the Coolpix L3 has some “super cheap” features as well, such as a slow lens, small and low-resolution LCD, miles-away 10 cm macro mode, no manual ISO selection and slow performance. Even with the excellent movie mode, the quality of the video is just terrible! Images have too high noise levels and quality is just average.

If I were considering an entry-level camera, I’d pass on this one and go for something like the Canon PowerShot A430, Panasonic Lumix LS2 or Sony Cyber-shot S600. They all have manual ISO selection, better macro mode, faster, better image quality, have slightly better feature sets, longer lasting power and cost about the same.”
