Customer Reviews 

This is the worst camera I've ever owned.
2008-11-21I bought the Nikon L18 specifcally over other compact digital's beacuse
of it's AA batteries. That was a mistake. Using the manufacturer's
batteries and charger, if I put a fully charged set of batteries in on
Saturday, and turn the camera on on Monday, I'm rewarded with "Battery
exhausted". Alkalines work better, but not much.
When combined with transfer software that can only be described as lame,
compared to the typical "appears as drive d:" camera interface (You can't
transfer from the camera except via this special application), this
camera is junk to be avoided at all costs.

Great camera, but "EATS" batteries!
2008-11-19My wife needed a "SIMPLE" camera. The L18 does the job. It is super easy to use and she loves it. Her only complaint is that she is constantly feeding it batteries.....she used alkaline. We could start using rechargeable, but haven't tried that yet. But the camera is GREAT! Connection to computer for transfer works fantastic. Recommended.

LOVE this camera!~
2008-11-12This camera is amazing! I love this camera! It's been wonderful taking such fantastic photos. Ones that I actually want to display. =) Ones that people want copies of to put on their walls!
Plus I love the color too! So fun and easy to use!
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Great "companion" camera
2008-11-09I love point-and-shoots and have no desire at this point to get intoDSLR, and this LITTLE thing works great to have with you all the time. I have bigger P&S from the other mfgs (and Nikon) that do very well but you can't carry them around in your pocket like this one.
Have a Fuji A500 which did just average, this one is much clearer, LCD is huge in comparison, pictures are not grainy.
So for that time when you say "I wish I had my camera with me" get this and keep it by your side at all times (or use it everyday for all your pictures) and you'll be ready. And it comes in red or blue-- no more boring silver or black only.

Nice photos, while it lasts
2008-11-07I owned this camera for about a month and really liked it--good shots, fairly good speed, excellent review quality on the huge LCD. and face recognition focus. It even allows you to zoom in/out while you are acquiring video; My older sony won't let you do that.
Huge LCD, low cost, 8MP, what's not to like?
After about a month of use, a small black "crouton" something broke off or came loose inside the camera lens assembly. It positioned itself just on the back of the lens, so that future shots all included a photo of the backside.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction
The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want.

Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact.
For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch.
Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
