Best Nikon Digital Cameras - 1.6 to 2.36 in. LCD Screen Size

'downright puny 2-inch LCD screen'

'Zoom control is difficult to operate.'

'very slow flash recycle time'

'glacially slow performance'

'ISO 800 images are quite noisy'

'Shutter lag measured an unimpressive 1.3 seconds in our high-contrast test, meant to mimic bright shooting conditions,'

'since pictures at ISO 800 are quite noisy, you might be disappointed with the results even if your shots are in focus.'

'It's inexcusable that the camera can't record audio along with videos'

'As usual, it was the red and blue shades that exhibited the most inaccuracy, although surprisingly green also had some issues.'

'Sluggish performance.'

'a very cheap digital camera and it has the poor performance to match'

'The Macro focus range was unimpressive.'

'with the flash active, it hesitates almost 7 seconds between shots.'

'For a start, it has an all-plastic body, which looks cheap because of the smooth finish, and marks easily.'

'Like most low-end, budget digital cameras, the Coolpix L3 is light on features.'

'The macro shot went horribly wrong.'

'Controls are simple and direct, though thicker-fingered users may find the recessed buttons awkward.'

'Just beaten by the 5-megapixel version for value.'

'insufficient flash'

'Unless you read the manual, you'll never figure out that you need to press the center OK button in playback to access the feature'

'pronounced barrel distortion at the widest zoom settings and a viewfinder that tends to freeze and blank out during use.'

'The bad news is that the clip length is limited to just 60 seconds, regardless of the size of your memory card.'

'The rechargeable lithium ion battery lasted nearly 3 hours, a middling result.'
