Nikon Coolpix L22 Review

By Johnny Chan


The Nikon Coolpix L22 digital camera has a set of useful user friendly features. With these being automatic, all you have to do is point and shoot away. The Auto Mode is especially useful for anyone who travels wide and often as well as those wishing to cover sports events. Packed with a 3.6X zoom feature as well as a handy 3"LCD screen, you are well set to capturing the perfect moment in stunning detail. And what is more, you need not wait any longer for the photo to be developed at a studio to know if you captured the moment right. The playback feature on the LCD screen allows you to review photos just after you have taken them, If you are dissatisfied by the result, all you have to do is delete the shot and take another one.

One of the many advantages of the Nikon Coolpix L22 is not having a chargeable battery. You ask how is that an advantage? Have you ever grabbed your camera and missed a picture of a lifetime because the camera has no charge? This point and shoot camera has two AA batteries that allows you to get an estimated 240 shots. Pack a few extra batteries in your pocket or camera pack so that never happens again.

But the camera packs a set of other features that are just as outstanding ranging from 12MP resolution, face detection, color effects as well as 5-shot bursts. The high resolution is especially advantageous as it allows you to shoot wide angled shots without losing picture quality. You can then crop out the parts you do not need on the computer.Getting shots of family and friends has never been easier, all you need is set the camera to Face Detection, click your way and you will have pictures of sufficient quality to post to Facebook. But sometimes plain photos can be boring but this camera adds a measure of inspiration that can transform your photo with effects like vivid, sepia, black/white or cyanotype. But there is more on offer especially for anyone who would like to shoot sports events. Nikon went a step extra in designing this camera to allow for clear shots even where you need to capture events happening at fast speeds. Add to this the 5 shot burst which allows you enough shots to share with all your friends and you have a camera that is real value for money.

While this is a camera that is a hallmark of superior design from Nikon, the lens falls short of impressive. There has been pretty of complaints that the top and bottom are somewhat soft. There are some customers who have expressed concerns about delays between shots. However, you can opt for the 5 burst mode to rectify the problem.

The camera is lightweight enough at 7.6 ounces which means at $119.99, you are buying a camera that is affordable and convenient. It is in many ways an entry level camera that boasts enough features to suit your lifestyle. Whether you are headed to a dream vacation spot or a sports event, the moments you will capture will prove memorable.
