The Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera provides 6.0 megapixels of resolution, and a powerful 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens to deliver brilliant picture detail. In addition, light sensitivity of up to ISO 800 guarantees makes it possible to produce quality shots in low light conditions, and also enables the faster shutter speeds that are essential when photographing fast-moving objects.

The Coolpix L11 incorporates three distinctive Nikon innovations that allow users to further optimize their images right in the camera - Face-priority AF detects people's faces to achieve sharp focus, no matter where they happen to be located in the frame; In-Camera Red-Eye Fix corrects for one of the most pervasive image problems found with compact cameras, providing automatic compensation for more flattering, natural-looking portraits in low light; finally, Nikon's unique D-Lighting function, improves underexposed images or shots taken with too much back light.

The Coolpix L11 also includes a stunning array of other features and technologies that make your shooting experience a true pleasure. There are 15 scene modes built into the camera so you'll always get the best possible picture in some of the most difficult shooting situations, while the Best Shot Selector (BSS) identifies and saves the sharpest image automatically from ten sequential shots. The camera provides broadcast quality video recording with sound and can record short audio clips with each picture. Macro shooting provides the ability to take pictures of small objects from as close as 15cm (5.9 in.), and the 4x digital zoom extends compositional freedom. You can frame and review your images on the bright 2.4" high quality LCD display, Plus the Direct Print capability means that you can print your pictures without the need of a computer when using a PictBridge compatible printer. And all of this is contained in a lightweight and compact camera body that you'll want to carry with you at all times.

6.0 Megapixel Resolution
With 6.0 million pixels of image information, the Nikon Coolpix L11 can produce stunning, photo quality prints as large as 16 x 20 inches and beyond.
High Quality 3x Optical Zoom-Nikkor lens
The Zoom Nikkor glass lens of the Coolpix L11 produces incredibly sharp, clear images, while the Macro capability of the lens lets you focus as close as 5.9 inches. In addition, there is a 4x Digital zoom providing a combined zoom capability of 12x.
Nikon In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
The Red-Eye Fix system automatically corrects for most instances of the red-eye effect that is commonly caused by the use of a built-in flash on a compact camera.
Nikon D-Lighting
The Nikon D-Lighting feature can rescue underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight by automatically brightening the dark areas in the picture, while maintaining the brighter areas of the image.
Nikon Face-Priority AF
The Face-Priority AF system incorporated into the L11 automatically detects and achieves sharp focus on people's faces wherever they are in the frame for crisp, sharp portraits.
15 Scene Modes
The Coolpix L11 incorporates 15 scene modes that cover some of the more common difficult shooting situations to maximize the image quality. The scene modes automatically adjust focus, exposure, white balance and other settings to make getting a good exposure easy.
Movie and Voice Recording
Shoot QuickTime movies with sound at 30 frames per second at a length that is only limited by the available space on the internal memory or your SD memory card. The Voice Memo Function Records up to 20 seconds of sound that can then be attached to an image.
Incredible, Bright 2.4" LCD
The Coolpix L11 is equipped with a bright 2.4" LCD that is excellent for viewing images anywhere, anytime, and the anti-reflective coating makes framing and viewing images more comfortable - even in bright light.
In-Camera Help Button
The In-Camera Help button on the Coolpix L11 instantly displays an explanation for all the functions within all menus, right on the cameras LCD Display.
Compatible with AA-size Batteries
The Coolpix L11 is compatible with AA-size batteries, which are widely available around the world. As a result, users can shoot as they like without having to worry about recharging or running out of power on an important day.
Long Battery Life
The Coolpix L11 is designed to use power very efficiently resulting in the ability to take a large number of pictures. Shoot 250 images with standard alkaline batteries, 600 shots with lithium, or 300 shots with rechargeable NiMH batteries (based on CIPA standard), and since the camera uses standard AA batteries, you can always get more batteries wherever you may go.

    Do not use as your main camera.

    Pros

    • 6mp resolution
    • Compact size
    • Decent LCD

    Cons

    • Few clear shots

    Best Uses

    • A quick on the fly camera

    Comments about Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera:

    This camera model should not be bought as the MAIN or sole camera to rely on. Unless you have either a mighty solid self grip or tripod, it will disappoint you. Even on my Bogen 3001BN it still would not perform satisfactorily. I wish I had the money I paid for it. Additionally when you get down to it 3x optical zoom is not going to get you anywhere unless you are close enough on foot to buy it. So spend a bit more, search more closely, and get one that has more to offer... so you're getting what you paid for.

      Comments about Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera:

      I use the product to take pictures in my family's outings, vacation trips and the like. I have thrown pictures from a car in motion, through the closed window or front glass, and the pictures look as professional as if I had a tripod and were actually standing outside taking the picture. The clarity of the pictures is outstanding. Pictures I thought would not come out, came out perfectly. You could not ask for more.

      Comments about Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera:

      Use it anywhere; carry with you anytime! Good for events that you can´t carry another model, but want to take good shots.Good video image, but you have to use a SD card up to 10 mbits/sec. Good images outdoor; for indoor photos, the built-in flash is power enough but the WB adjust (auto, fluorescent, etc) could be better.

      Love it, simple

      By Mrs. C

      from MO

      Comments about Nikon Coolpix L11 Digital Camera:

      I bought three of these for a middle school library. The students and teachers love them. They are easy to use, and easy to download to our computers. They were used to make stop-motion animation movies by the art students this summer.

      Expertise: Intermediate

      Problems Encountered: There isn't a viewfinder, but that's not a problem unless you are outside. It's hard to see the screen on a sunny day. I have had to have one repaired already--it got dropped and the lens would not close or open. Unfortunately, that is not a warranty covered item. The timing on the button isn't as fast as I'd like it--sometimes the kids aren't patient enough either.

      Previous Equivalent Item Owned: Cameras that have 3.5 inch disks

      Items I Recommend: soft case, SD card, rechargeable batteries
