COOLPIX L22 3.9 5 262 262

THIS CAMERA IS FUN TO USE AND AWESOME FEATURES. THIS IS THE BEST CAMERA I'VE OWNED. I LOVE THE BIG SCREEN AND NOT HAVING TO LOOK THROUGH A SMALL HOLE. THE BEST COLOR PICTURES YET AND VERY EASY TO USE. July 21, 2010

Has problems but nice after repair started messing up in first few weeks and had to send it in for repairs works nice now July 21, 2010

I like the camera very much, I was looking for one that was simple to operate, took great photos, was compact and had replacable batteries. (No more charging batteries). July 21, 2010

The camera takes great pictures and I like it. Just wish that it would be easier to get at the wrench to change a setting or two. The camera is easy to use and user friendly. I would recommend to any one who would like to take picture for the ease of use. July 21, 2010

A lot of camera for the money I presently own 5 dfferent camers. My Coolpix L22 is the simpllest to operate & outperforms all the others. My Coolpix cost me less than all the others. July 21, 2010

great camera I have not used the camera alot uet but when I have I'm very satisfied with it. It is easy to use and takes great pictures. I would recommend to anyone. And the price was right too. July 21, 2010

This product has great features. I like being able to take video with sound for birthday parties and family reunions. I like the choices for shutter settings and exposure settings available. The automatic feature is very handy, too. I also like the SD card accomodation and the ability to take it out and read it in other places. I like the design and color choices available and the macro feature and self-timer. I have always liked the quality of lens and clarity. July 21, 2010

Happy to have chosen Nikon The L22 is easy to carry around, and find what settings are deemed important for a particular shot. I've taken pictures of old pictures and they are easily printed out at the store. I haven't figured out how to put my efforts into the computer yet. I bought a mono-pod because I tend to be on the shaky side. I feel the need to learn much more about digital photography and will do so. I purchased one for my sister also and I hope to share experiences on our first digital camera. July 21, 2010

Good product Very good quality photographs in all modes. Very reasonably priced and well made. I especially like that this camera still uses AA batteries. Never have to worry about not being able to recharge a battery pack. A great value for the price and highly recommended. July 21, 2010

This product so far is just what I was looking far We have had a digital camera for ten years. While filming hummering birds. It just desided to die. So we drove into town and selected this one. Big improvement over our 10 yr. old but 10 years it did serve us well. Did not go back to film hummers but did film water liliy garden. Pictures are just beautiful. Have not had camera but a week but so far love it. July 21, 2010

I am a senior citizen and live in a retirement home. I have never had a really good camera before. Withi my Nikon L22 I am one of the official photographers here. I get really good pictures everytime. I can do videos and I shoot movies and I download them on my computer and that is it Its really cheaper in the longrun because I don't have to have them developed and I have so many more to look at. I have 15 great grandchildren to take pictures of and I am really enjoying my new camera. Thank you MJ July 21, 2010

I DID ENJOY THIS CAMERA THIS CAMERA I GOT FOR MOTHERS DAY AND IT WAS STOLEN OUT OF MY DAUGHTERS CAR A WEEK AGO. SO I REALLY MISS IT. IT WAS A VERY GOOD COMPACT CAMERA July 21, 2010

Fun and easy to use. A very easy camera to use - not too technical which is what I like about it. With the zoom on the top of the camera, it is easier to zoom in and out. I also like the lighting selections. I took it on a trip and the lightweight camera is fun to use as you can pull it out, turn it on and shoot. July 21, 2010

COOLPIX L22 Pretty average camera but I got it for a great price. My only two complains are the sound on the videos and the automatic flash setting. It takes pretty good video but the sound does not go along with what you are watching on playback. It's maybe at least 5 seconds late. The flash on automatic mode sometimes doesn't go off because it thinks there is enough light, which maybe true but it's not the correct amount of light for a decent picture. For the price of the camera everything else is great. July 21, 2010

Its got all i need and then some. My L22 is a down grade from the old nikon that used film.I bought it because i bought a computer and had to go digital.It can do some incredable stuff that i didnt know you could do.I still may buy a high teck digital in the future for some fine photos but right now its got what i need. July 21, 2010

easy to use. Good quaility pictures. Easy to use software transfer pictures to computer. July 21, 2010

This product is hard to use When take Photos some of them had a Yellow glow to them...I only have one hand & it's hand to use the camrea. I'm thinking about taking it Back! July 21, 2010

Easiest camera I have ever owned. This camera is very easy to use. I wanted one that I could just point & shoot. I am a novice, but I like to have nice pictures of my kids and vacations, etc. to keep as memories. July 21, 2010

good cemera good camera but should show battery life all the time. have had trouble with the flash not going off at times under certain conditions. July 21, 2010

Poor Quality for a Nikon Product Unhappy with the Quality of this camera . Poor battery life and not very user freindly July 21, 2010

The best amateur photog experience ever. I have purchased three other digital cameras and have never been as happy as I am with my NIKON COOLPIX 722. The pictures are fantastic, and though I haven't explored all the fun stuff yet, I am confident that I'll be estatic with the results. July 21, 2010

A great camera the pictures taken are some of the best I have seen. It is as good as the ones I take with my very expensive Canon. I love the small size (fits in my shirt pocket). July 21, 2010

so far, so good Havent had any problems, Ive just started useing it July 21, 2010

Easy to use. Camera is easy to learn the features, being an elderly person sometimes the new technology is hard for us. It has been fun to use. July 21, 2010

PLUG IN ON THE BOTTOM IS A NUISANCE!! Great camera to list my Ebay items. I take about 60 pictures at a time. The plug in on the bottom of this camera is a pain in the HINEY!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, this camera won't delete the pics automatically once I download the pictures to my computer. 3 star is the best I can give because of these TWO MAJOR INCONVENIENCES!! I have bought NOTHING BUT A NIKON FOR GOING ON 8 years I have been selling on Ebay. Next time I will look at where the outlet is to transfer pictures. ALL OF MY OTHER NIKONS HAD THIS PLUG ON THE SIDE! VERY BAD DESIGN CHANGE FOR ME. Thanks Much, Gardeningdede July 21, 2010

The best camera i've ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This camera is the best i've ever had. I'm still learning some of it's features. My son took it to a Tom Petty concert in Chicago. Takes great pictures and videos. I like the way it zooms in on the subject. July 21, 2010

Conveniently Fits In The Pocket. My Nikon Coolpix is perfect for just plain everyday caring, you never know when having your camera along is going to come in handy allowing you to capture 'That' shot when you don't have your camera bag with you. July 21, 2010

Great color Easy to use, great features, variety of modes. Excellent colors from 12MP July 21, 2010

I'M VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT I DON'T LIKE THIS CAMERA AT ALL, I RECIEVED IT AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT IN MARCH AND HAVE ALREADY HAD TO SEND IT IN FOR REPAIR. IT NEEDS TO BE SENT IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUES THAT WERE 'FIXED'. July 21, 2010

excellent ,easy to use novice camera. i have a friend who can not walk and chew gum , to any tech item,even he can use this camera.has meet my expectations a real price value. July 21, 2010
