Opinion: Ordinarily, I use a Canon DSLR, but lugging 3 plus pounds and a high-school baseball team's bat bag of gear around is a good deal less than fun. I wanted something simple and easy that I could carry in a pocket, and would be instantly available. The L11 is an excellent camera for such uses, and the fact that it takes a pair of garden variety AA batteries is a major plus. No tiny optical finder. No chargers. No hassles. Tiny SD cards are now dirt cheap.
Problems: Too new to say. So far I have had no problems. I have run a few dozen test shots through it using the alkaline batts Nikon supplied, and they are not yet showing signs of fatigue.
Opinion: What can I say? Not exactly great build quality, but almost everything else about this
camera is way ahead of the curve. I've had my camera for approximately four weeks
and I picked it up for $129 at Office Depot. I have a couple film and digital bodies,
but find that this camera is so compact i usually carry it with me everywhere. Not
many bells and whistles, but for what it's supposed to do, it's excellent in every way.
Problems: Slow start up and it searches a little in auto focus in dim light but, hey for the money
no biggie!
Opinion: Very hard to beat at $129USD - no other brands offers anything this good at this price.
Nikon has increased the pixel counts but decrease the quality and features compared to older models.
I owned the 2mp version of this camera, the 2200, and it had much better macro performance and interface was much more user friendly.
Video has not improved, still noise sound due to focusing.
I choose Nikon because their color redention in general.
This camera takes very good pictures of dark skin people like my wife.
The dark colors are not over saturated, proffesional look. Images are very clean and smooth for such a price.
Outdoors pictures on sunny days are fantastics.
Problems: The first model in this line was the 2100 and all complaints still remains, nothing has improved except they added more pixel counts.
Noisy videos due to autofocusing.
hurrible low light performance, lots of blurry pictures.
Battery life has become worse, 2200 was much better.
Hurrible Macro performance, embarancement for Nikon.
More scenes have been added which has made the menu much more hard to use, too much scrolling to get what y ou want. I preferred the limited scenes on the 2200 and the quicker access.
Very slow flash recharge, but very good flash color.
Very slow performance so don't be impatient...
If fast performance is required, set it to landscape mode.
If low light shooting, then limit yourself to Museum mode.
The screen has gotten worse then the earlier models.
2200 had a sharp 1.8in screen that was very good.
L11, has a 2.4in screen that is the worst, very bad.
The camera has its issues, but there are work arounds...
For the money, if set correctly, this camera will beat the competion on image quality.
Canon gives you more manual features, but image qualiy is not as great at this price.
Opinion: I bought it as a, always carry with me (even when the Fuji S3 Pro has to stay home), compact and it kind of grew on me.
The amount of scenes/features is fine.
Build and usebility are ok.
Battery life seems to be endless, even with the old AA's that I don't use anymore in my Fuji.
For this price, compared to the competition, the picture quality was my reason to advise friends of mine who wanted a compact for holiday pictures to buy this one and they were also very satisfied with their beter then ever snapshots.
Problems: For the Price none
