Junk

This camera sucks! The screen died after 10 months. It requires surgeon's hands for the image to come out ok. My daughter hates it. It takes good video. Go for Canon S20 and above instead.

Mode options makes this a great little camera

Gave this camera to my sister and she loves it. It's easy to use and the snapshots are good quality. Not a dslr but a good snapshot camera with video capabilities.

Coolpix L20, defective battery door

8/17/2010

My camera freezes often & I get 'battery exhausted' even with fully charged rechargeable batteries. If you google the issue turns out it is likely the battery door with sensitive or defective contact points to the batteries? If you open & close the door, the problem goes away, for a while. This is my 4th Coolpix camera & I am not happy about this at all. I will check a camera shop to see how costly/successful the repair might be ;o(

WORST DIGITAL CAMERA I HAVE EVER OWNED

7/27/2010

Well my frustration with this camera came to a head last week on our trip to the Smoky Mountains.... I took 7 pictures of Bears and 6 of them turned out blurry. We also went to the Nascar speed park and ALL of the pictures from there turned out blurry. bottom line unless you are standing still this camera sucks completely. i have tried every mode on this camera - auto/easy auto/running/portrait/landscape - you name it it simply isn't possible to take a picture of anything that is in motion. A complete P.O.S. also, anytime you ask someone "Hey, can you take our picture?" - you have to give them a lesson and tell them to "hold it EXTREMELY STILL - then push the buttom 1/2 way down - then the light will turn green - then push the button the rest of the way down" - it is effin impossible to teach someone how to use this p.o.s. i am trying to return mine to Nikon for a full refund. simply horrible - the worst digital camera i have ever owned BY A MILE!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's worse the camera or the company?

This camera operated properly for about two months. Then one day I started getting a battery error message. I couldn't do anything with the camera so I replaced the batteries with other new ones I had. The same problem, "battery exhausted" message would appear on the screen. The camera was completely unfunctional. I went and bought more batteries at the store, just to be sure it wasn't actually the batteries. The same error message.

So now I have to go through the agravation to return the camera to Nikon Service Department. I packaged it up shipped it back to them and received my same camera back in about 2 weeks. I took it out the box, pushed the power button the camera immediately turned a solid color and the screen was locked. I couldn't power the camera off or on either. The only was to reboot it is to remove the batteries.

I went the whole same scenario of trying different batteries and nothing worked. The screen would turn a solid color or I would get the same message, "battery exhausted" I just could get over the fact that the repair person, did not even bother to try to turn the camera on and see if it worked.

I tried calling their customer no service number and of course I get someone who can barely speak english. I demanded to speak to a supervisor and they refuse to replace my camera with a new one. Maybe Nikon has good products and bad, but I'll never find out that is for sure. I would never buy anything from this company ever again.
