Never Buy A Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera

Is it possible to get amazing pictures from a digital camera? The purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L11 digital camera is certainly not break the bank. It is currently selling for about $ 90 on a number of online merchants. But, you can great pictures from when they, or will not bring you no pain, but the heart and lousy pictures. Let's take a look at some of the less attractive features of the Coolpix L11 from Nikon, and find out.

One of my biggest complaints with digital cameras andDigital camera manufacturers, is the exclusion of an optical viewfinder. Sure, we all love the cool factor with a nice big LCD screen to view images. But not if a larger LCD viewfinder means losing. Especially on a camera eats batteries like the Coolpix L11. With a viewfinder, meaning that you still take pictures, even with dying batteries. It's a bit like a vicious circle ... larger LCD = no place for hunters = batteries die sooner ... and go no way to usersViewfinder mode.

The other problem with a large LCD screen on a cheap camera, the quality of the screen. The LCD on the L11 is a bit grainy, but usable for indoor use. At least, it is quite readable. Going outdoors is a different story. It is a technique to LCDs in bright sunlight readable, and it works great. I have it on my marine grade GPS plotter, but that's a $ 800 toy. Trying times, the LCD on the Coolpix L11 on a sunny day, in addition toimpossible. An optical viewfinder would of course resolve this problem (see above) complaint.

The energy saving function, while a good idea for the L11 was not implemented very well by Nikon. The camera tends to take to turn off about a minute, if he decides it is no longer used. During this time, you can not stop the shutdown, and even she is not turning back on the intuitive process.

A typical complaint with just about any camera in this price class, and also$ 100 more, the large time interval between exposures. Caused mainly recharged by the flash and the camera takes a long time to save the last photo on the memory card. You can get faster memory, and a stronger battery, but they will not make much difference. Some of the faster memory access cards cost almost as much as the Nikon Coolpix L11. Its always better, just a better camera.

As if I have not given you enough reasons to keep from buying a Nikon Coolpix L11 toHere are a few more to consider:

- The main setting dial is too small and prone to human error

- Night or low light photos pictures turn out very grainy

- The flash does not take effect on a range of six feet

- USB connection cable is not standard (Micro USB)

- Mature model Coolpix 2100 actually performs better

- Color accuracy suffers on indoor
