Capsule Review: Nikon Coolpix L6 The Nikon Coolpix L6 packs in great features for the low price. Long battery life, simple controls and a bright 2.5\’ LCD screen make this a great camera for the casual shutterbug or as a first digital camera. Nikon promises 1,000 photos on one pair of lithium AA batteries (or 400 on alkalines), and offers easy-shot features like Face Priority, D-lighting and In Camera Red-Eye Protection to appeal to entry level users. Simple to find at less than $150 USD, the Nikon Coolpix L6 gives you the features that most new users want in a digital camera – and truly impressive battery life. \n
Summary The Nikon Coolpix L6 is Nikons latest entry in their line of Coolpix digital cameras. It features low price, long battery life and simple controls that make it easy for anyone to shoot good digital photos. The Coolpix L6 is lightweight, easy to use and perfect for the entry level shutterbug who wants a reliable camera thats easy to use and offers good picture quality. Nikon has aimed the camera squarely at the young and young-at-heart crowd with its advertising, styling and user friendly features that make the Coolpix line popular. \n
Highlighted Features – Long Battery Life By far the most impressive feature of the Coolpix L6 is the record-breaking long battery life. Nikon has partnered with Energizer (yes, the company with the bunny) to research and engineer energy saving features that conserve battery life. Their innovations give this camera a very impressive 1,000 shots per set of AA lithium Energizer batteries – and just to get you started, they include a set of Energizer lithium batteries. With most other cameras in any price range averaging 200-300 shots of battery life, Nikon has good reason to wave the flag about their performance in this area. \n
As the mom who missed the shot of her daughter being handed her sheepskin because I was changing the batteries on my digital camera, this is a feature I truly appreciate. Even with alkaline batteries, youll get about 400 shots out of the Coolpix L6 before you have to change the batteries. \n
Easy Controls Nikon bills the Coolpix L-series of cameras as memories made easy, and the L6 delivers on that promise. The camera does away with complex controls and gives you features that make it easy to take high quality photos with very tiny experience. This is not the camera for the experienced shutterbug who wants total control over each technical aspect – but it doesnt pretend to be. This is the camera for my mom, who has a professional quality digital that she routinely hands to the nearest grandchild at every opportunity because she has no idea how to set the lens speed, adjust the flash or any of the other myriad settings it offers. \n
With the Coolpix L6, you really can just point and shoot. If you want more control, though, there are fifteen scene settings that grant you to select from settings with easy to comprehend names like daylight, low light or portrait. You can select to add fun extras like color effects, \n
Image Correction Features The Nikon Coolpix L6 also offers three in camera innovations that let even inexperienced picture takers eliminate common picture problems. In camera red eye protection automatically corrects the infamous red-eye effect when taking flash pictures. The Face Priority mode will automatically recognize facial features when taking portrait shots and enhance the facial area of subjects so that you dont get out of focus faces. And the D-light detection will automatically correct under and over exposed shots by making a copy of the pic and adding in detail to only the out of balance areas of the photo. \n
Super Cool Coolpix Features The Coolpix L6 also offers two special features that help the amateur pic buff get the most out of a digital camera. The Best Shot Selector will automatically select and save the sharpest image from a series of up to ten photos taken in sequence. And if youve ever ended up with a blurred, out of focus memory of a special moment, youll really appreciate the Blur Warning, which will let you know when a pic youve shot is out of focus so that you can retake the shot before leaving the scene. \n
Image Quality The Nikon Coolpix L6 offers great image quality for even the newest of users. With 6.0 megapixel ability and a 3x Niktor Zoom lens, the L6 gives users the capability to take a wide range of pics from tight close-ups and full panoramic scenery shots. Nikon technology puts high quality digital images within the range of anyone who can point and shoot. \n
Other Coolpix L6 Features – Lightweight and compact, simple to hold and shoot. The L6 is slim and comfortable to hold, with all the controls on the right hand side of the camera, making it possible to take one-handed shots. It weighs in at just 4.4 ounces without the battery or SD memory card. The dimensions (3.6 x 2.4 x 1.0 inches) make the Coolpix L6 a trim pocket-size camera. \n

digital cameras – Do I need an 8MP digital camera?
The article below about the subject has received a lot of interest, more than any other on our site. We believe it's because it pulls no punches. Yet, while it's an important issue, it's not all doom and gloom, there is another point of view that some find quite unorthodox, but workable.
This article has proven to be very useful to our readers and they come back regularly to keep abreast of the latest developments. While the subject remains an important subject, it's always an added bonus when you can be enlightened, and even amused by being shown the other side of the issue. Some things are not always what they seem. Read on for more insight.
If you are on the market for a new digital camera then there\’s a good chance that you are asking yourself that exact question. Maybe the number of megapixels that you\’re considering is different. Do you really need a 16MP digital camera? 8MP? 6MP? This article tries to help you answering this question. \n
New digital camera models that are put on the market support more and more megapixels. This race for more megapixels is in part driven by manufacturers who want you to buy their newest and greatest digital camera and the easiest way for them to make you compare cameras is by using one easy number – megapixels – the higher the superior or at least this is what they want you to think. \n
But reality is different. When it comes to megapixels more is not necessarily better. Since most of us have a limited budget that we\’re willing to spend on a digital camera spending more money to get more megapixels means spending less on other features or accessories – such as storage and lenses. The overall quality of your photography experience is dependent on such extra features. \n
When deciding on the number of megapixels that you need you should first think about what your expected usage is. You need more megapixels if you plan to print pics (especially massive enlargements) or if you need to zoom in and grab fine details out of large digital photos. On the other hand – you don\’t need much if you plan to watch your digital pics on your computer screen and occasionally print a few 4X6 prints. In fact 2 megapixels are more than enough for such usage. Think about your computer screen resolution which is in most cases 1024X768 – even when viewing your digital photos in full screen mode you\’re only really watching 1024X768 < 1 megapixels. A 2 megapixels 4X6 pic print has a DPI higher than 300 which is more than enough for a good quality print. If you plan to print enlargements consider the following table for the recommended number of megapixels for different print sizes (based on print quality of about 300 DPI): \n
page 4X6 2MP \n
page 5X7 3MP \n
page 8X10 7MP \n
page 11X14 14MP \n
page 16X20 28MP \n
page 20X30 54MP \n
When considering spending more of your digital camera budget on getting more megapixels you should ask yourself questions like: should I instead get superior lenses? Should I instead get an external flash unit? Should I instead get extra storage media? \n
Dont be a victim of the megapixels race. In many ways the race for more megapixels is similar to the race for more megahertz on personal computers. In early days when computers speeds were slow – more megahertz was important. Today though – having a 4Ghz or 5Ghz computer does not make a difference and you are better off spending more money on more memory than more megahertz. The same is true with megapixels – in early digital cameras days the number of megapixels was low and it was important to get more. This day with most cameras having a high number of megapixels it is probably wiser to get superior lenses or more storage than upgrading from 8MP to 10MP. \n
