Nikon Coolpix L22 12MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Silver) Review
Love this camera!
It was difficult making a decision regarding cameras in this price range; Canon, Olympus, Fuji, Samsung, Nikon, Kodak, Polariod, etc., etc., etc.
All had 5 star ratings, and all had 1 star ratings.
I based my decision on having had a old Nikon F1, and how much I enjoyed using it.
So, I chose the Nikon, and I am glad that I did!
I find this camera easy to use, and it takes excellent pictures.
Keep in mind that I am a casual photographer, and that the pictures I am taking are for person use, as well as ebay/craigslist.
The camera interfaces easily with my XP Pro desktop, and uploading is a breeze.
I recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive, easy to use, quality digital camera.

Nikon camera - Sergey Trofimenko - Bay Area
Great camera with all necessary features for beginner (and even more advanced). I purchased this camera as a gift for my friend, and it works great. It looks like the best combination of quality and price. Also, I received this camera in no time - literally, on next day.
Depends on what you want - Rocky Baker - Athens, AL USA
First off I am a big fan of Nikon. I own three Nikon DSLR's and really like them all.
As of a few months ago I owned one Nikon L3 point and shoot camera and one Canon A720 IS P&S camera. The Canon seemed to be much better and I had a little cash to spare so I bought the newer version of each, a Nikon L22 and a Canon A1100 IS. For what I want, the Canon is much better.
The Nikon isn't a bad camera, but it isn't what I want in a camera. There are not enough manual controls. You can see from a picture of the camera that it does not have the big button function selector on top. You are a slave to the Nikon menu's and they don't have nearly the number of choices that I want. There is no Program shooting mode, just Auto. Therefore it will not allow me to choose the ISO setting, which is improtant to me. Like most P&S cameras it does not have a viewfinder so you are left to hold the camera out one or two feet away from you to shoot the picture. I want a viewfinder to look through so that my head helps hold the camera steady, which is VERY improtant in taking a picture with any kind of camera. Some, but not all, of the Canon P&S cameras do have a viewfinder.
If you can get past the limitations of auto selected ISO settings and can hold the camera steady, there is no problem with picture quality. My guess is that a lot of people who don't know as much as I do about digital cameras would love the simplicity of the L22, and the L22 is 40-50 bucks cheaper than most Canon P&S cameras so it just depends on what you want in a camera.
