Nikon COOLPIX L6 Digital Camera

Pros: great quality prints
Cons: slow uploading with standard serial port

This past summer the Chamber of Commerce sponsored a street festival in my town. Part of the displays and booths were downstairs near my apartment and, when I saw this, I borrowed this little Nikon from one of my neighbors to take some impromptu shots....

Pros: Great picture quality, easy to use, loads of options to play with.
Cons: flimsy card door,battery door is tricky, compact flash card is not big in size.

I've had my new toy for about 6 months now and I'm so impressed.


Prepurchase stuff
I Decided a few months into the new year that I needed a REAL digital camera (I previously had a jam cam which worked but not...

Pros: 6 megapixels, auto focus and flash, cool features, portability and price.
Cons: Battery life is a little iffy.

Nikon is one of the most respected camera makers in the world, and they produce some fine products.  Nikon was my late father’s favorite brand of camera.  Migrating into the digital camera era has been a bumpy ride for me, as I still have ...

Pros: Outstanding image quality, ease of use in auto mode, extensive selectivity in manual mode, uncompressed TIFF mode, three useful compressed JPEG modes, wide shutter speed range, rapid recovery allows multiple shots in a short period of time, good ergonomics
Cons: Skimpy standard accessories: 8 Mb CompactFlash, no rechargeable batteries and charger, no built-in USB capability, no hard copy manual, mediocre software bundle. Easy-to-lose unattached lens cap. Short battery life.

The Nikon Coolpix 800 includes many of the features found on the Coolpix 950 at a more affordable price. Two megapixel digital cameras are becoming more numerous. The Coolpix 800 stands apart from the crowd by providing superior image quality with a...

Pros: High quality, easy to use
Cons: somewhat limited lighting

I have been a photo enthusiast since about the fourth grade when I saved up my pennies (literally) to buy my first snap-shot camera. I graduated to a 35mm by high school and have easily filled 20 photo albums in the last ten years with everything from...

Pros: A true point and shoot camera. Great grip. Exposure modes & "Best Shot".
Cons: Slow lens. Hard to retrieve memory card.

The Nikon Coolpix 800 does not have ultra high resolution, super fast performance nor does it raise the standard for new technological achievements. Quite the opposite; it is a “plain Jane” reliable working and well designed 2.1-megapixel digital...

Pros: Great Picture Quality and White balancing system, Very inexpensive with rebate
Cons: Weak Flash

Updated 11/19/00: This was my very first opinion and my ratings reflected it. : ) So I decided to revise it so that the review can be more helpful to others.

I've used this camera heavily for over a month now. My first digital camera...

Pros: Great resolution, fantastic buy if discounted, $75 Nikon rebate through 04/01.
Cons: 1999 technology, is nearing end of product life.

April 3, 2001 - The Nikon coolpix 800 was a great digital camera. I have had a very good experience owning one because it produces great pictures, but mostly because it was downright bargain when I purchased it. I made my purchase back in July 2000 at...

Pros: Easy to take pictures, CompactFlash memory cards make it simple to move pics to PCs
Cons: Insufficient resolution for 8x10 prints. Poor zoom quality beyond 2X.

My first foray into the world of digital photography is the Nikon Coolpix 800. I had a few requirements when choosing which model to purchase: I wanted something easy to use that delivered good photographic resolution. In addition, I needed to be able to...

Pros: Can be picked up cheap. High quality to last you a couple more years.
Cons: Ugly, mine eventually broke details below

While there are many higher end cameras out there now. This is one that should not be overlooked. This is not this years model, nor is it cutting edge. But the reality of it is that if you want cutting edge 3+ megapixel your probably not going to...

Pros: excellent picture quality
Cons: no USB port

I once owned a Mustek 640 by 480 pixel digital camera three years ago. The quality of the picture is completely unsatisfactory. But when I saw a picture taken by one of my friends' Nikon Coolpix 950, I was shocked how good the quality is. I then...

Pros: Image Quality
Cons: CHEAP components

Unfortunately, my overall impression of this camera is "CHEAP".
I did extensive online research before purchasing this model, and was attracted to the raves about image quality, as well as the price (>$900.00 up here in Canada)and the...

Pros: optical zoom,lower cost,smaller size,execellent exposure, focus, and color
Cons: The flash is very weak,underexposures under 7 feet

I was trying to decide between the Coolpix 950 and 700. I wanted the optical zoom lens of the 950, but I also wanted the lower cost and smaller size of the 700. So I was delighted when the Coolpix 800 was announced. It has the optical zoom I want (which...

Pros: Pretty good... good brand.
Cons: heavy, look stupid

This easy-to-use compact digital camera doesn't sacrifice image quality or features. The 2.11 megapixel, 1/2 inch CCD achieves dazzling image quality, offering both 1600 x 1200 (UXGA) and 640 x 480 (VGA) pixel sizes. Digital beginners and old timers...

Pros: Easy to use, intuitive design
Cons: manual on cd-rom

I purchased my Coolpix 800 camera last September primarily for taking pictures for Ebay. I had read the reviews and decided that the Nikon was the best choice for my budget. I found a great deal, plus a 75.00 rebate. This is the perfect choice for...
