The Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera (Black) produces images with up to 12.0 megapixels of resolution, and incorporates a 3.6x zoom lens. The 37 to 134mm telephoto coverage gets you close to the action while capturing expansive landscapes.
Shooting in low light is not a problem with Nikon's exclusive 3-way VR Image Stabilization technology that utilizes Electronic VR Image Stabilization, along with Motion Detection, and the exclusive Best Shot Selector (BSS). This ensures that your photos will always look great - regardless of lighting conditions or subject movement. If your subject is better seen in motion, the camera captures high quality movies with sound.
For difficult image situations the camera offers 16 different scene modes. If you are not sure which to choose Easy Auto Mode with Scene Auto Selector lets the camera automatically select the best setting to get great picture. Nikon's Smart Portrait System ensures beautiful portrait and people shots by combining Nikon's innovative smile mode, Blink Warning, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, and Face Priority AF technologies. Furthermore, the L22 includes Nikon's Coolpix Software Suite for organizing, editing and sharing your photos.
The bright, high resolution 3.0" LCD display provides a wide viewing angle and an anti-reflective coating that allows for easy composition and viewing of photos even in direct sunlight. The camera runs on 2 AA batteries that can be purchased everywhere, so never worry about running out of power.

I carry this camera in my pocket mostly for random shots. The image quality is very good. What you see on the viewing panel is how the color saturation will look like on the finished image. That's nice because I can adjust the exposure compensation if I don't like the first image.
You can't go wrong for the modest price.

Ease of use is excellent, but comes at the expense of flexibility. For example, flash only comes with choices of auto or none, instead of being able to use flash at command. Under natural light conditions, pictures not as sharp as could be.
Good overall camera in a compact package.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera (Black):
I was pleasantly surprised at this 'little' camera which I purchased as an inexpensive throw in the pocket camera for when I didn't want to carry a DSLR. The close up performance is very good (and that is where most of the photos I have taken with it are) And while it does not have the capability of a DSLR for the price it ain't bad at all.

It is good for snapshots outdoors and even in well-lighted stores. Not so great for inside, low light situations. It makes my old Nikon Coolpix 990 look good. But, now I have both so I am covered.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera (Black):
I bought this camera to use when it was inconvenient or unsafe to carry around my Digital SLR. The size is good for me, the camera fits nicely in my pocket and the controls are not too small for my fingers to manipulate. Image quality is excellent at wide to normal zoom. Images taken at full zoom were not always of good quality. The auto focus is accurate but shutter response is a little slow.
It is hard to compose pictures in bright lignt without a viewfinder. Overall I am satisfied with this camera and it serves my application well.

I puchased the L22 to replace an L18 that I loved, but only lasted three years and I'm pretty easy on my equipment. You can't beat the value given all of this cameras features and exceptional image quality for a point and shoot; we'll see if this one lasts longer...

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera (Black):
I like a camera that uses AA batteries and fits in my purse or pocket. This Nikon L22 camera takes clear crisp photos indoors or outside in any light.
The museum setting is great for taking photos so the flash does not disturb others.
I carry this camera with me so I will not miss a photo when life gets interesting. When in a car accident I took photos of the cars involved and because of this my claim was paid promptly without going to court.
This camera takes excellent photos from butterflies to kids sporting events and will even copy documents! This compact is worth the money.

Purchased this camera for my Grandparents who wanted a simple digital camera they could operate easily. Works great so far. Camera uses 2 AA size batteries which is actually a boon in disguise. No worries about charging. Just carry some extra AA cells.
