 Nikon Coolpix L1 at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Nikon L1 digital camera. The Nikon Coolpix L1 offers 6.2 effective Megapixels and a large, bright, easy-to-view 2.5-inch LCD monitor that makes it easy to compose shots and fun to play back the results straight away. The Nikon Coolpix L1 has a great lens in the shape of the powerful 38-190mm Zoom-Nikkor lens (35mm equivalent), affording users much greater freedom to compose shots as they wish, letting you zoom in for tight portraits or zoom right out to capture wide-open scenery. The Nikon Coolpix L1 digital camera is compatible with widely available SD memory cards and it features 10MB of internal memory.

 Nikon L1 - Optical zoom lens
According to Steve Digicams: "The feature that distinguishes the L1 from its siblings and competitors is its 5x optical zoom lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 38-190mm. While it's not a super zoom, the 190mm telephoto focal length adds a fun factor to using the camera, and it really brings your distant subjects closer. There was a moderate amount of barrel distortion at wide angle, but no pin cushioning at telephoto. The lens moves smoothly and quietly, but not continuously."
Nikon Coolpix L1 camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "The L1's responsiveness was disappointing. Power up to first image captured measured 4 seconds, much of that consumed by extending the lens. I was fairly satisfied with the overall image quality when using 6-Megapixel Fine mode. The metering system had a tendency to overexpose outdoor images by about 1/2 EV, although colors were nicely saturated. Our indoor portrait images were sharp, well exposed and the skin tones look very natural. You want to learn more about the Nikon Coolpix digital camera?
