A recent airplane trip and it's restrictions on carry-on luggage sent me looking for a small camera because my Nikon D-40 DSLR and it's extra lenses were going to be too much of a hassle. (I should mention I will use here at home on my motorcycle trips because, once again, the DSLR and it's lenses are too bulky - and expensive - to risk losing or damaging.)
I went for the Coolpix because my experience with Nikon equipment has been very good.
I was not surprised by the limited telephoto capabilities, but very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the enlargements I got from it's 10 megapixel shots. At 8x10 in size they were the equal of anything I ever got from film cameras.
It's small size made it an easy fit in the side pocket of the jacket I was wearing.
The included software featured a "stitching" program so I tried that out and was very pleased with the panoramic shots I got of the Seattle downtown and shoreline.
The camera did not include an SD card, but I knew that when I bought it. So I picked up a 4 gig card and when I saw it was capable of holding over a thousand pictures at the highest resolution I knew I was set for the trip.
While I prefer the Nikon DSLR I have, this little L20 Coolpix was a good buy for me and well worth the under $100 I paid for it.

Jacob L. McentireI was looking for a cheap camera that took good pictures. I should have spent a little more for a decent camera, the money I saved wasn't worth it.

It is very difficult to take a photo that isn't blurry. This camera is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. Very poor quality photos. I bought this camera because I didn't want my wife taking my SLR on vacation. She took this and it has a really hard time taking photos in low light, and if your subject isn't perfectly still and the photographer still, you will get blurry photos. I am a professional photographer, and I have seen cheaper cameras do a better job. I am very disappointed in Nikon for selling this crap, becuase Nikon is my choice for SLR cameras.

No complaints.
What else is there to know? Works as advertised. Inexpensive. Shipped timely. Full featured yet simple enough for a senior.
Quit looking around and buy this camera.
