Features
New Anti-shake AE Anti-shake AE helps you take great pictures free of complicated operation by automatically increasing shutter speed and raising the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
Expansive 3.0-inch LCD monitor A huge, bright LCD monitor makes it a cinch to compose shots and play them back anywhere, ensuring clear viewing, even in direct sunlight.
AA-size batteries for carefree shooting anywhere Compatibility with AA-size batteries, which are widely available around the world, means carefree shooting virtually anywhere without worrying about recharging or running out of power.
Easy auto mode Easy auto mode makes photography even easier by taking control of settings, so you simply turn on the camera and shoot freely.
VR image stabilization Nikon Coolpix cameras offer an array of VR technologies that produce blur-free images when shooting in unsteady conditions or at slower shutter speeds. Selected models are equipped with one of two types of Optical VR, Lens Shift VR, which delivers sharp and steady images effective for shooting and faster framing with the LCD, or Image Sensor Shift VR, which moves the image sensor to accurately compensate for camera shake. Other models offer Electronic VR which applies movement data to image processing to turn blurred images into beautifully clear results.
Better pictures in lower light Selected Coolpix models offer ISO capability beyond the range of conventional digital compacts. An exciting advantage that greatly increases photographic possibilities, high ISO capability delivers excellent exposure in challenging conditions, broadens the scope of possible subjects and allows scenes to be captured beautifully without compromising natural light.
Face-priority AF Available only with Nikon Coolpix cameras, the clever Face-priority AF function helps ensure satisfyingly crisp portraits no matter where the subject is in the shot. By automatically detecting people's faces in the frame, the photographer is free to press the shutter for sharp portraits with focus exactly where it's wanted.
D-Lighting Only Nikon delivers the advantage of D-Lighting, a unique technology with the ability to rescue underexposed images or shots taken with excessive backlight. Accessible in Playback mode, this innovative feature automatically creates a copy of the image, adding light and detail added where necessary, while leaving correctly-exposed areas untouched. As a result, images are significantly improved in a manner that is much more natural looking.
In-camera red-eye fix Coolpix cameras offer refined red-eye reduction capability that surpasses other digital compacts. First, a series of pre-flashes stimulate the subjects pupils, causing them to constrict. The camera then analyzes the captured image for the remaining presence of red eyes, automatically correcting them in-camera before saving the image to memory.

4 of 5 Nice camera Monday, May 19, 2008
A Customer from Beltsville, MD  

No complaints about functionality. Very easy to use. Only reservation is the lack of memory out of the box. Camera itself only holds 4-5 pics. So an external card is needed prior to first use.

5 of 5 Great Low Cost Camera Sunday, April 13, 2008
Trent from Pocatello, ID  
I have a brother who works for Nikon and asked him which camera will provide great pictures and will allow me to take pictures quickly. (I was currently using the L11 which took 15 seconds between photos so I missed some oportunities) He advised the L18 had fixed the quickness of photo shooting and now within seconds it is ready to take another photo. If you have used the L series before the body design is similar. The function buttons to view and choose photo type are on the top of the camera. Pros. Fast, light, runs for a while on typical Energizer batteries, Clear LCD, Pictures come out clear, easy to use, buy.com had very fast shipping and I got this at a great price using the $10 off coupon. Cons. The sd slot is next to the batteries whereas the L18 had it on the side. I prefer it on the side because I do no use the usb cable as this camera goes from home to work and back home and if you lose the cable then welcome to another expense. Having to open the batteries every time I want to pop the card out to transfer images is a bit tedious but the pros make it worth it and I really do not want to buy another camera until the DSLR's lower in price. I have a bit of a bias as family member works for nikon, but I really like this camera and I have used panasonics, hp's and olympics. This has been my favorite.
