Pros Ease of Use, 5.1 Mega pixel, Video, Image Modes
Cons Shutter Lag, Flash Quality, Quality of Night Images
Recommended it? Yes

My dad bought me a Coolpix L3 for my birthday this year. I had been wanting a digital camera for a long time but never really wanted to pony up the $200+ that it would cost to get a halfway decent one. I was pretty excited to finally have one and I've been using it quite a bit lately. The L3 is a... Read full review »

Pros Picture quality; ease of use; Choice of settings; Good battery life; Price.
Cons Shutter lag; 5 pixels is outdated.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Nikon Coolpix L3 as my first digital camera purchase. I previously owned a Nikon and had it for twenty years before allowing it to retire. I was given an HP 3 mega pixel camera from a relative that broke within 6 months so I made my first informed purchase a NIKON.

Pros: I... Read full review »

Nikon Coolpix

Pros small, lightweight, good price
Cons slow shutter speed, low megapixel
Recommended it? Yes

After our 3 mega-pixel camera broke, we were in the market for a new digital camera. I did some online research and found the L3 for $110 and thought it was a great deal. I knew Nikon was a quality name and felt it was a safe purchase.
We have had this camera for a year and have had minimal... Read full review »

Great if you need an inexpensive camera

bycsigirl Dec 26, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros small size, large LCD, price, cool features
Cons SLOW shutter lag in low light, no viewfinder, difficulty focusing in low lighting
Recommended it? Yes

I am a photographer and use Nikon cameras exclusively. My main camera is a Nikon D-SLR (the D70). On a recent business trip my husband lost my compact Coolpix 5200. I won't go into the details, but finances won't allow me to replace the 5200 with the Nikon camera I really want at this time. We had... Read full review »

Good back-up camera

byelphabaverde Nov 19, 2006

Pros compact body, great picture quality, easy to use
Cons lag between shots
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Nikon CoolPix 4800 a couple of years ago, and absolutely adore it. I *love* the 8.3x zoom, and the picture quality is fantastic. The only drawback is that it's too large to take everywhere.

So when I had a few extra dollars, and was going away on vacation, I decided to get a... Read full review »

Long Term Nikon L3 owner

Pros Small. Good picture quality if you know how to set it.
Cons Lag time taking pics. Menu options can be confusing.
Recommended it? Yes

I personally can't say enough good things about this camera. For what it is, it does the job for me which is taking decent resolution pictures on the fly. I use it at work and hunting. It is very durable as evidenced by me running over it with my utility vehicle by accident. Tough little bugger!!... Read full review »

Pros Great price for a 5 megapixels camera, good battery life, easy to navigate menu
Cons Poor picture quality, bad shutter lag,indoor pictures very poor, poor flash and so on ...
Recommended it? No

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... Read full review »

Love it!

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use - good pics - indoor and out. Videos are great!
Cons Shutter lag is occasionally an issue.
Recommended it? Yes

Shutter lag is a bit of an issue but overall the quality of pics is super and I love the mini-video feature! Batteries (I buy lithium) are long-lasting. I have no trouble with indoor or outdoor pics. Software for transfer to computer WORKS and is easy to use! I'm very happy with it. Read full review »

EXCELLENT CAMERA!

Pros Very easy to use. Great features.
Cons None found yet.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Coolpix L3 at Circuit City for $179 and am so happy with it! The batteries last for a very long time even when using the flash heavily! I must disagree with anything that anyone has said about the shutter lag on any setting (other than night.) If you actually read the manual and play... Read full review »

Good product with some problems

bypeggyarcher Oct 14, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Clear pictures, excellent lens, light, good user interface
Cons Shutter lag means missing candid photos.
Recommended it? No

I'll agree that the number one thing I don't like about this camera is the shutter lag - it can take several seconds to focus (more in low light), and that means some missed photo ops if you're dealing with children, animals or motion.

The quality of the images is very good, the software... Read full review »
