The CoolPix L11 high light sensitivity up to 800 allows you to tackle low-light scenes and situations far beyond the capabilities of conventional compact cameras. The CoolPix L11 has an amazing 2.4-inch LCD, perfect for viewing and sharing images. Detects and corrects for camera movement to give you rock-steady results time after time. The CoolPix L11 features 15 specially programmed modes to automatically handle focus, exposure, white balance and other adjustments that help you take great pictures easily. To ensure superb portraits with crisp focus, select Face priority AF (in Portrait Scene Mode). This feature automatically finds the subject's face and focuses on it.

I found out that a newer version of this camera has a inferior processor in comparison to the older one, so I searched and found a older(by 6 months!) model and bought it. It has 1 megapixel less, but this is made up with the superior processor. This point and shoot camera is a great buy in all departments. I got a black one. The only 2 things you could offer as a complaint is it's a little tough on batteries, and it's low light shooting. But hey, I like the whole battery thing. If they die, you swap them out, no waiting around to recharge.

Works perfectly. I have used it in harsh conditions doing my volcano photography and it's going strong. Even after numerous times dropping it on rock.

One of the key advances developed for the D80 is its high-resolution image-processing engine, a dedicated new high-performance processing chip that greatly accelerates performance. ISO AUTO mode automatically adjusts sensitivity between ISO 100 to 1600, maximizing available light to help achieve optimal exposure 7 automated Digital Vari-Programs (Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close Up, Sports, Night Landscape and Night Portrait) optimize white balance, sharpening, tone, color, saturation and hue to match the scene User-selectable choice of optimization options Near-instant response with 0.18 sec. power-up Top shutter speed of 1/4,000 second and flash sync speeds up to 1/200 second Fast image transfer via USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface and SD memory card Creative in-camera effects and editing functions Multiple Exposure modes Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with ultra-wide 170-degree viewing angle for clear image preview and easy access to settings and information;

I recently upgraded from a Nikon D70 to the D80, and I am in love with my camera again! I had stopped using the D70 because it seemed no matter what I did my images were always grainy looking. With the D80 all of my images have been extremely sharp, even with an older 300mm lens. I also love being able to hold down the shutter button and let the camera take picture after picture, I have been able to get some amazing shots as a result. I think the built in flash is more powerful than on the D70 as well, some pictures I took inside turned out good and did not look like an obvious flash picture (shadows, dark background, etc.). I highly recommend this camera.

I frequently read the DPPREVIEW forums and everyone is talking about the new D300 vs the D3 vs the 40D vs the D200 vs the 5D. People....it doesn't matter! I'm convinced if you could put the 85mm f/1.4 on a pin hole camera you would get UNBELIEVABLE pictures. I've only been using this lens for a few days, but I can't tell you how impressed I am. The pictures are TACK sharp. The bokeh is beautiful and the weird 3D like effect is amazing. Auto focus is great on my D200. Not any louder than any of my other Nikon lenses. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Recently purchased Nikon D60 with 18mm-55mm VR lens. Very happy with the product and the performance. Was taking pictures as soon as the battery was charged. Ease of use and picture quality is excellent. User will get great shots with this camera if exposure setting is set at -0.3 in the "Program" mode. Auto setting is too bright. The VR lens allows the user to get great pictures with longer exposure times and small aperture settings while hand held. Suggest a 52mm UV filter and a backup battery as necessities. Shop the internet for batteries as these can be bought for less than $10.00 rather than to pay the Nikon price. These substitutions are great and perform as well as the higher priced batteries. Ken Rockwell's website on the D40 camera is as helpful as the users manual and far easier to follow to get a complete understanding of how to use the D60 (almost identical to the D40)

This is My first Nikon. I have been a fan of Canon and Olympus for many years. Previous to this camera, I was using an Olympus Evolt 500. The E-500 is a good camera. However, it is older and some aspects of the 500 bugged me. The view finder could have been a little clearer, the focus could have been faster and although the picture quality was good, it still wasnt quite at the level I wanted. I was on the verge of buying two new lenses, which were better and more expensive than the two kit lenses, and a external flash. Then one day while I was out at the big Warehouse Store shopping, I saw the Nikon D60 kit with camera bag and two lenses and for about the same cost as I was ready to spend on my 500. I knew this camera had great reviews and was one of the top 10 recommended digital SLRs on one of my favorite camera review sites.
