The best
This camera is the best one I have ever owned. I can't think of one single thing I don't like about it. This camera does everything a camera should do. I really like that you can crop and adjust your photo before you download it to your computer. Saves a lot of time. Highly recommended.

Small but powerful camera
I got this as a gift a couple of years ago, and it is still working like day 1. It took me a few days to figure out the different settings, and get the swing of it. Its small, so it is easy to toss in my bag without the extra weight.

Amazing
I got this camera two years ago right before my first child was born. I have taken well over 2,000 pictures and love every single one. It takes amazing quality pictures, and is easy to pull out spur of the moment instead of always being behind the camera. It recently broke on Halloween due to a crying baby i forgot it on the roof of the car, I just hope they still sell it because after reading the specs on all the "upgrades" I still believe this the better choice.

Answer:
Yes Off course you can do that, just remove your memory card from camera and plug into computer and use it as a USB. open folders from your media card or else just import from microsoft import tools and save it on your computer.Answer:

What is the minimum memory speed required for optimum performance of the Coolpix L20
The speed can delay the time required to move the picture from the camera to the memory. The minimum speed for the memroy would be the maximum speed of the camera interface (camera to memory).

I just had this working the other day and today I went and replaced my old batteries with new ones and the coolpix screen comes up then a black screen. My sister just cleaned the battery area with rubbing alcohol to see if it was carbon particles and all. We let it dry but the camera will still turn on just no screen. Also now it will not turn off unless we open the battery door and all.

when i use nikon transfer on my l20, the first 25 pictures will load with no problem. after that, the rest of them will not. it says there is a connection issue with the cable because it has been disconnected. however, the other two memory cards that i am using did not do this. why is only this card having this problem? i am guessing the photos that could not download are corrupted?

Answer:
Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once, warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge. Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.Has staff answer
