Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
For a camera that does it all, and makes it look easy, it's hard to beat Nikon's Coolpix L120 Digital Camera (Red) .You get a high resolution 14.1MP CCD sensor, a sharp Nikon 21x zoom lens that will carry you from a very wide-angle 25mm all the way to ultra telephoto 525mm (equivalent in 35mm format)--there's really no type of photography (landscape, portraits, parties, travel, wildlife, sports, etc.) that isn't possible with this range. And with 5-way image stabilization and sensitivity up to 6400 ISO, you'll get sharp pictures every time, even in low light or using the longest telephoto setting.
Of course, 1280 x 720 HD video is included, with stereo sound--all you need to do is touch one button and you're shooting beautiful video without making any adjustments. A bright, high-resolution (921K dots) 3" LCD display helps you capture and view great images under any lighting conditions.
Other great features include burst shooting at 15.3 frames per second for catching fast-moving subjects, modes that automatically detect and photograph a smile, warn you when your subject blinks, and correct redeye automatically. 17 Scene modes adjust the camera settings for different common photo situations, and there are 5 color options for increasing your creativity.

I did extensive research before I bought this camera. All the reviews on this and other products can be overwhelming. But after getting this camera, I am confident I made a great choice.I was recording from my Blackberry, in chunks of 20 seconds so I could e-mail the videos from my cell. So, yeah... from that this is obviously a major improvement.I use it for recording kids basketball games. So, indoors, fast moving, videos of 8 min. or less each. The videos are great for watching them on the computer or even plugging it in to the TV -- really a breeze. I have a Mac and it's also compatible (with a USB card reader to transfer quicker) and you can view and browse, and even edit (have not tried this) after installing their software. Haven't tried editing them down for e-mailing or Web though.I am using a 32GB, class 10 memory card and everything is fairly quick.Some things get trial and error to get it right, but so far pictures and videos are great even under indoor, low light. Even with really low light indoors, where the room is dark with my naked eye, it was taking bright, nice photos this camera. That impressed me.The zoom is a great feature as I can zoom into the bench from the bleachers of a high-school sized gym, and get quality shots. The feature to take action shots in fast movement is really great and the pictures come out nice and sharp.The fact that it takes AA batteries was a big plus for me. Pop in some freshly charged ones and keep going. No charger, cord or bulky weird-code batteries to worry about.The camera is a little on the heavier side to hold in my hand for an entire game. So, I'll be getting a tripod. But overall size is much compact than the pictures seem.The red is a pretty deeper red, not burgundy, but not your primary color red either, just a sophisticated red, if you will.[...].Really satisfied with the camera [...]

After reading reviews on the L120, some being very good and others poor, I thought I'd buy it for my wife. She likes a good zoom, although I've warned her about the extra glass and atmosphere that degrades a photo. I thought the style and finish of the camera was very nice. I took it out and shot about a dozen photos in different light and zoom. I also tried a few exposure setting (all automatic of course). I found that it took good to very good pictures in well lit areas. I also took some indoors that were decent.
I loaded the photos in Adobe bridge and examined them. I found that using the zoom, in low light or indoors without a flash (with good light) the shutter speed dropped dramatically. Zoomed in about 1/30, low light 1/40th and indoors even less. With the image stabilization the photos were decent enough but then I tried taking photos with some movement and they easily blurred, hence the poor reviews.

My husband and I picked out this camera as my birthday gift this past July. We went to Italy the next week, and I was able to take great photos. I love the AA batteries (always can have extra on-hand when traveling), and the zoom is incredible. It also takes great video (and the mic isn't bad.)
I returned to Italy later in the summer with my camera, and took a whole bunch of more beautiful photos. I then bought two more of these cameras to send back to Italy to my cousins who each wanted one. So, that should be a testament to the quality of this camera.
It's easy to operate, with more functionality and better zoom than a typical point and shoot. I do miss the view finder when it's sunny out. Night photos are difficult (which I think is true of most digital cameras in this price range.)
I love taking photos of details and faces. I am an amateur photographer who is more into setting up the shot than futzing with equipment (at least for now).

Easy to use point and shoot camera. Great camera for new camera enthusiats who really don't need all the function of an SLR. Pictures come out clear and crisp, and the 21x zoom is handy!

I was looking for a point and shoot with a decent zoom and found this and decided the slightly larger size was FAR outweighed by the performance/quality of this camera.

I use this camera to take pictures of my children without telling them to stop for a picture, with the sport continuous setting you don't need to. Great for parents. If you get the right batteries it last longer than the chargeable cameras.

I purchased this camera because I could not afford a true SLR camera and I needed an update. My older Kodak had a long delay before it would take the picture. This one clicks right away. I took over 60 pictures at my daughters soccer game and only one blurry one, I think I was the one that moved though.Also, great service from B&H Photo. Fast shipping and complete infromation made my decision easier.

Im so disappointed with this camera.. i got it for my vacation to Europe and it is lucky it came back with me because many times i wanted to throw it.. I would get great pics and once in a while but most the time they were blurry or the camera would just shut off.. i bought new batteries because the batteries that it came with i put in and it said battery exhausted.. i was on my trip for 12 days and tried every different mode and combo there was and still blurry..

The product is easy to use once you read the manual. Things that aren't so great about it is the fact that it takes 4 AA batteries and the batterie case is not easy to slide back in and I feel like I'm going to break it everytime I load teh batteries or the camera card.

I've only shot roughly 100 pictures with this camera so far and I enjoy shooting with it! I have used the video feature a few times and made some decent movies. I like how fast the camera starts up and how quickly it takes pictures.

Just joined a small camera club in my community. My previous digital is about 8-10 years old. At the time the cost for this camera was [$]. I was looking for a new one and after reading reviews for weeks I decided on the Nikon Coolpix L 120. The picture quality is great for a camera at this price range and above. I also wanted a camera that could get good quality macro shots and distance. All I can say is that it fits all my needs and then some. Very easy to use. I thought that I would miss not having a viewfinder but the clarity on the LCD, even in sunlight, is great.Can't be happier.[...]
