7.1 megapixels | 2.8" screen | 35 – 105 mm (3×)

Nonedescript entry-level plastic-bodied 7 megapixel compact with a limited feature set and a price to match. We tested the L16's near identical twin (the 8MP Coolpix L18) and were pleasantly surprised by the image quality, solid construction and easy handling, but found the lack of key controls (such as manual ISO control) frustrating.

Opinion: It's a great camera to carry around in your bag.
Yes, the flash recycle time is slow (about 3-4 sec) and so is the focus time (about 1 sec). Results in low light are not so good and the flash is a bit under-powered - BUT for the price you pay, I think that it's the best low-cost P&S camera in the market.
Overall I'm very pleased with it.

Opinion: A very nice and easy to use camera is the Coolpix L16.

It has:
-a large 2.8" screen
-anti shake AE which increases ISO to counteract camera shake
-very neat user interface
-lots of scene modes

One mode, Panorama assist helps you to take impressive images for panoramas-
which then can be stitched together on your computer (eg. with Photoshop).

Taking ease of use in account, the L16 automatically chooses ISO settings.

A very handy Nikon feature-BSS (best shot selector) takes multiple images and then
saves only the image that is the sharpest-a time saver.

SD and SDHC cards are supported and the Nikon Coolpix L16 uses AA batteries-very
frugak and cost effective.

For $59, I was quite impressed-easy to use yet takes very nice photos.

Problems: None
