The Nikon Coolpix L12 is part of Nikon's 'Life' series of compact digital cameras. It features 7.1MP resolution, a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor
lens, and a large 2.5-in. LCD monitor.
In addition, the Nikon L12 features true image
stabilization (optical lens shift), called Vibration
Reduction, that minimizes blurred shots caused
by camera shake.
Nikon In-Camera Innovations in the Coolpix L12:
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix(TM) automatically fixes
most instances of red-eye in the camera; Face-Priority
AF is Nikon's face-finding technology that automatically
focuses on faces; and, D-Lighting rescues dark
or backlit images by improving brightness and
detail where needed.
The Nikon L12 accepts the Secure Digital (SD/SDHC)
card and has about 21MB of Internal Memory.
The Nikon Coolpix L12 should appeal to
budget-conscious point-and-shoot photographers
desiring an easy-to-use compact digital camera
with true image stabilization.
For about US $50 less, the Coolpix L11 offers 6.0MP resolution, a 2.4-in. LCD and no image stabilization.
For about US $80 less, the Coolpix L10 offers 5.0MP resolution, a 2.0-in. LCD and no image stabilization.
