Product Description
Birthdays. Weddings. Baby's first steps. With the COOLPIX L24, it's never been easier to keep these memories alive. This compact camera makes it simple to shoot clear photos and movies that you can e-mail, post on a family website, or print and frame at home. With the COOLPIX L24, it's easy to capture life's most precious moments. The Scene Mode system lets you choose from 16 scenes to find the best for your situation, or you can rely on the Easy Auto Mode to automatically select the best settings for your photos. You'll also catch unforgettable facial expressions with Nikon's Smart Portrait System, which includes a Blink Warning that alerts you when your subject may have blinked; in-camera Red-Eye technology that automatically fixes red eye; and Face-Priority that focuses up to 12 faces. This affordable, lightweight camera is easy to carry and requires easy-to-find AA batteries. -Sometimes a still picture can't preserve a Memory like a moving image. School plays. Piano recitals. A child's first words. For moments like these, the COOLPIX L24 shoots TV quality movies - complete with Sound - at 30fps with 640x480 resolution.

I bought this camera to replace my old Canon A430 because it suddenly stopped working after serving me faithfully for five years.
L24 Pros: it's compact (pocket size), fairly light, reasonably thin and looks quite stylish; it has a small amount of internal memory.
L24 Cons (many): the full user manual is only available on a CD (supplied); fiddly menu; self-timer fixed at 10 seconds and cannot be changed by user; self-timer has to be switched on every time for each separate photo (very annoying); picture quality at highest resolution (4320x3240*) shows an awful lot of graininess even in bright lighting conditions, plus quite poor contrast (blotchy); there is no way to turn off the poor quality digital zoom function so one needs to be careful not to zoom in too much on a frame in certain shooting modes; the general picture quality is less than satisfactory, with the balance focused mainly in the centre of the image rather than sampled from various points; the "macro facility" isn't up to much; the USB plug (AVI OUT) socket is located on the bottom of the camera, which means laying it either on its front or back and thus risking scratching the unit; the tripod socket is offset from central, so using a portable mini tripod makes it inclined to topple over; Movie mode seems to have no options; some settings are not retained when switching off the camera (i.e. flash setting) and have to be set again the next time the camera is used; the supplied software is "bloatware" and installs other software automatically and caused my computer to slow down noticeably (plus it took me over half an hour to remove it all and it corrupted my AntiVirus software - what was Nikon thinking using this garbage!)
Overall, compared to my old Canon A430, I think this Nikon is a major disappointment.
Perhaps Nikon should spend more money on developing their products and less on glossy TV advertising campaigns. This is my first Nikon product and I will think very carefully before I buy another one, if ever.

This camera is just what my husband wanted. Lightweight, simple to use with a zoom. Clear instructions. Takes great pictures. Ideal for a point and shoot camera.Nikon COOLPIX L24 14 MP Digital Camera with 3.6x NIKKOR Optical Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Black)
The Nikon L24 is a great compact camera. For the price it is an excellent start for someone who is not wanting to splash out loads of money on camera equipment whilst they learn the ropes. It is also a perfect companion to take anywhere with you. It's size and shape mean it will fit just about anywhere. Mine goes all over the place in a little padded zip case.
The feel of the L24 is good. Not too light weight or skinny it lets you get a grip on it with confidence. The screen is a great size and though you may have trouble in really bright sun light all it needs is a cupped hand to shade it and you should be ok. The controls are easy to understand and a short time spent mucking about with it will soon get you going.
Picture quality is not too bad at all for what you pay for. Good selection of settings and the ability to video as well. USB connection to PC is easy but I use an SD card slot to avoid messing about with yet more cables. Batteries are easily obtainable anywhere so you won't need to lug a charger around either.
Compared to the Fujipix at the same price this seems to win out as the optics are a bit better. Zoom is ok but don't expect to capture that Lion on the horizon when you are on safari. Great camera for the quick, convenient point and shoot. Goes well on top of a monopod style hiking pole as well for those arty shots in the Lake District.

Junk
I can't express how very very dissapointed I am with this unit. It takes pictures so bad I believe it's almost a lie to call it a camera. Read more
