The Nikon Coolpix L4 is a compact digital camera with 4.0MP resolution, a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens, and a large 2.0-in. LCD monitor.

The Nikon L4 accepts the Secure Digital (SD) card and has about 10MB of Internal Memory. New is a One-Touch Portrait Button that automatically activates In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and Face-Priority AF; it also automatically activates D-Lighting in Playback to eliminate overly dark pictures.

Included in the box are 2 AA Alkaline batteries (that takes up to 250 pictures on a single charge). You can also substitute the Alkaline batteries with longer lasting Oxyride or rechargeable NiMH batteries.

The Nikon Coolpix L4 should appeal to point-and-shoot photographers desiring an affordable, entry-level compact digital camera.

The Nikon Coolpix L3 with 5.1MP resolution and a less than 1 in. ultra-compact body is available for about US $50 more.
