Top Nikon Coolpix L12 Camera Reviews
DC Resource wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix L12 and
said: "Photo quality really depending on the situation. In good
light, it was fairly good, with accurate exposure and color.
Images were on the soft side -- especially fine details -- and
corner blurriness was a problem. Purple fringing was not a major
problem. If lighting levels drop just a bit and "ISO" appears on
the LCD, look out: the camera is boosting the ISO sensitivity
automatically, which can greatly increase the amount of noise in
your images."
Imaging Resource wrote a review on the
Nikon Coolpix L12 and said: "At this modest price level, you
can't expect high-end performance but you do get good
performance along with a suite of in-camera image enhancement
tools that really matter."
Nikon Coolpix L12 News Release Summary:
Quality Compact Digital Cameras Combine Excellent Performance
with Easy-to-Use Features.
MELVILLE, NY (February 19, 2007) — Nikon is pleased to introduce
three new L or “Life” Series cameras to the award winning
COOLPIX family. Designed with the casual snap-shooter in mind,
the Nikon COOLPIX L12 combines high-quality design and
construction with user-friendly features at affordable prices.
All three cameras sport a sharp 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor glass
lens, a big, bright LCD and a lightweight, ultra-portable body
style. Additionally, each of the new L series cameras boast
impressive battery life, and a higher light sensitivity, which
makes it easy to produce better pictures in low light
situations.
“Nikon's new L-series cameras represent an exceptional value to
the consumer, as they are full-featured, easy-to-use and
affordable," says Bill Giordano, General Manager Marketing,
COOLPIX for Nikon Inc. "With the introduction of these L-Series
cameras, Nikon is making it extremely easy for consumers, who
might be new to digital photography, to capture great pictures
easily, right out of the box."
COOLPIX L12
In addition to 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor glass
lens, and a 2.5-inch LCD, the COOLPIX L12 also features Optical
VR Image Stabilization, which overcomes camera shake to produce
clearer, sharper images. This camera also has ISO capabilities
up to 1600, which enables the consumer to take sharper pictures
in low light situations and facilitates a faster shutter speed,
essential for capturing images of fast-moving subjects. Adding
to this camera's ease of use is a new Anti-Shake button, which
simultaneously activates VR, High ISO and Best Shot Selector,
assuring that pictures will be steady, sharp, and stunning.
Memories Made Easy
In addition to the camera-specific features listed above, Nikon
has incorporated user-friendly Imaging Innovations into the
entire line of COOLPIX cameras, designed to ease the
picture-taking process for the consumer. On the L12, these
features are activated by pressing the convenient One-Touch
portrait button on top of the camera. These technologies, dubbed
“Nikon In-Camera Innovations” include:
• In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™: automatically detects and corrects red
eye, a common condition that occurs in flash photography.
• Face-Priority AF*: automatically finds and focuses on a
persons face within the frame, providing sharp focus to produce
clear, crisp portraits wherever the subject is positioned in the
frame.
• D-Lighting: in playback mode, the user selects and creates a
copy of images with excessive backlight or insufficient flash
illumination, adding light and detail where necessary.
Additionally, the L Series cameras include handy features such
as scene modes, which set the camera for optimum performance in
a variety of shooting locations, and a TV Quality Movie Mode for
recording video with sound.
The COOLPIX L12 features a sleek, stylish finish and a curved
grip that contributes to both design elegance and shooting
stability. Adding to the cameras’ convenient portability, all of
L-series models are AA-size battery and SDHC memory card
compatible, with 21MB of internal memory for the L12. Each
camera is packaged with a complimentary copy of Nikon’s
PictureProject Software, which makes it a snap to transfer,
organize, edit, and share photos with family and friends.
The COOLPIX L12 will be available beginning March 2007 at an
MSRP of $199.95. For more information about the L-series cameras
