Nikon’s Coolpix L1 combines 6.2 effective megapixels and a generous 5x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens (38-190mm zoom in 35mm equivalent) for stunning 14×19-inch prints. The incredible, bright 2.5-inch LCD makes for easy composition and image playback. The L1 incorporates Nikon’s Exclusive Feature System, including Face-Priority Autofocus for great portraits, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix to automatically fix red-eye, D-Lighting to lighten overly dark images, and 15 Scene Modes to automatically set the camera for great pictures in standard situations, like portraits and panoramas. On-Screen Help eliminates the guesswork by providing explanations for main menu functions. Easy to use and feature-packed, the Coolpix L1 is a camera that suits any lifestyle.

Megapixel.net

Overall the Nikon Coolpix L1 is a camera that should draw attention. While it is simple, and not particularly fast to start, it is well-conceived for its role as a high resolution point-and-shoot.

Imaging Resource

This isn’t a camera for capturing fast action, or for extensive use after dark, but it has a lot to offer under the shooting conditions most consumers will be most interested in.

The Coolpix L1 has a lot of appeal to those wanting ease of use and more powerful than average telephoto magnification.

Good Gear Guide

“The little dwarf” is a reasonable purchase. It has no extremely bad features, and offers some exceptionally sharp pictures in the right setting.

The Nikon Coolpix L1 is a bare-bones camera with slow operation but very good image quality that will please casual snapshooters.

Consumer Guide

Pros: 5X optical zoom lens is handy, camera’s features yield outstanding portraits, indoor photo quality is very good. Cons: Camera’s response times are below average, LCD is the camera’s only viewfinder, camera body is thicker than many on the market currently.

NeoCamera

The Nikon Coolpix L1 may be larger than most compact digital cameras but it does have a 5X optical zoom which gives more reach compared to most competing models. Images from the L1 are quite acceptable except perhaps for corner softness. The camera otherwise performs quite poorly and offers very little photographic flexibility.
