Digital Camera Review

Designed to compete with Canon’s hugely popular A-series cameras, the Nikon Coolpix L2, L3 and L4 all have a 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens, 2-inch LCDs of varying resolutions and take easy to replenish AA batteries. They are all available this month for $249.95, $199.95 and $149.95, respectively.

Pictures Effect Mode
Hopefully other manufacturers will follow Nikon’s lead of getting rid of cheesy picture effects modes like adding birthday hats or cartoon flowers to your images in-camera. Aside from some basic color modes – Standard, Vivid Color, Black & White, Sepia and Cool – there are no picture effects on these models, thank goodness. I suppose it’s a matter of taste.
