Nikon Coolpix L100

Digital Camera Review

2.7 The L100 sounds like an incredible deal: $249.99 for a 10 megapixel point and shoot with a 15x zoom lens. And you do get a lot of zoom for your money, but that's tempered by the fact that the L100 has poor performance and is missing features such as manual controls.
