This is a Great Camera
This is a great camera. It is a niche product that does what it does very well. My primary reason for adding this camera to the two, more expensive, digital point and shoots that I already had is because it operates on AA batteries. I think the slow picture making time and lack of close-up focus are very worthwhile tradeoffs for the low price and very high quality pictures this camera makes. I have owned an L10 so I am familiar with the concept. A pair of lithium AA batteries will last through all day use on a one week trip. I use NI-MH rechargeable batteries at home. I have a car-lighter adapter for my NI-MH battery recharger.
This camera is ready to go on no notice at all.

More than I Expected...
I've had several Digital Cameras over the years, my last one was P@#$roid which was a great disappointment. The photo quality was only so so and the photos were in a proprietary format which my other cameras could not read. Several of the new pics were out of focus and a bit on the shaky side.
When My Nikon arrived I inserted the useless SD Card and was going to reformat it for use in the Nikon, I was quite pleasantly surprised that the L26 could read all the previous photos, the Nikon adjusted the shakes and other poor qualities and the ones that I had recently taken with the P@#$roid.
As a result, the Nikon did much more than I expected it to; and saved the day, by recovering what I had expected to be a complete loss of almost 100 photos.
Thank you Nikon for a well engineered camera, and for the people who built my camera. I wou;ld not hesitate to recommend a Nikon to anyone who might ask.

Easy to use and compact size
Only had this camera for a few days now but it is so easy to use right out of the box! That is just what I was looking for plus the fact that it uses AA batteries so I don't need to worry about charging battery. Zoom is pretty good for this price range; easy to share pictures which is another feature I was looking for 'cause I'm not a techie whiz!! Hubby has a D80 which he loves but even he likes this little camera! have had several Nikon products and feel you can't beat Nikon quality!

The number one problem with my old small camera is the shot-to-shot cycle time... it is old and quite slow. I like the look, quality and price of the L26, but none of the reviews I have seen specifically looked at the recycle (shot-to-shot) time.

The VR reduction in camera keeps entire pic n lens vibration reduced, on a lens VR it is the lens only that has the reduction...much more effective on a lens than a point n shoot, but non the less, it should reduce vibration...Jun 20, 2012 by

Looking at the specs , I say probably not... if it takes two AA, even if rechargeable batteries, usually the only cams using USB charging are the ones with a Nikon battery...not just normal rechargeable batteries...Jun 20, 2012 by
