The Nikon Coolpix L22 comes with a number of features that are decidedly user friendly. By automating most of the tasks, all you have to do is point and shoot. In the "Auto Mode" setting, the camera is capable of determining which are the best settings to suit a particular occasion or scenery. It is a feature that makes the camera a great choice when one has to travel to different countries with different climates or for covering sports. Fitted with a 3" LCD Screen and a 3.6X zoom feature, you have in your hands a camera well capable of capturing the picture perfect moment. The clarity of the screen is indeed helpful for any photographer: you do not have to wait for days on end for the photo to be developed at the local shop as you can view it immediately you shoot and, if the effect is less than satisfactory, delete it and take another straight away.

It may sound counter-intuitive but one of the best features of the The Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera is that it does not have a chargeable battery. If you have owned a camera that depends on a chargeable battery, you will no doubt recall a moment when you failed to capture a spontaneous moment because the battery was out of juice. With this Nikon coming with a standard pair of AA batteries that are sufficient to give you 240 shots, you will never be out of options. All you have to do is pack a set of them as you travel. No matter how remote your destination, you will have sufficient power to capture every moment in stunning detail.

12MP, face detection, color effects and 5 shot burst are some other features I would like to touch on. The 12MP allows for shooting your photo wide, jumping on your computer and cropping the photo to your liking. Capturing moments with friends and families can be challenging with so much going on in the photo. Set your camera to Face Detection, get everyone in focus and shoot. Next you can upload the photo to Facebook.com. Ever feel like your photos are a little boring and need a little spice. Adding vivid, Sepia, black/white or cyanotype to your photos can give it more then just character, it can tell a story. A lot of consumers want to shoot sporting events. Nikon took that into consideration when producing this camera. The L22 comes with a 5 shot burst to capture the winning goal. With the 5 shot burst you have more options in post-production to find the right picture to share all your friends.

As with all other Nikon products, you can count on this camera in terms of quality and durability. However, there is something not up to speed when it comes to the camera's lens. There is an inordinately high number of complaints of the camera's performance in terms of it having quite a soft top and and sides. Moreover, there are those who find delays between shorts quite long and inadequate for some applications. However, one can address this by making use of the 5-short burst feature.

But a review at would be inadequate if it failed to address the price. At $119.99, you are getting a bargain for a lightweight and very convenient camera. It may be classified as an entry level camera but looking at the features it is shipped with, you get the sense that it will prove a bargain whatever your experience or frequency of use. Whether you love capturing sporting events or you travel frequently, this is the perfect complement you need to pack every time.
