My wife loves this camera I bought it for her as a Christmas gift and she is very impressed with the picture quality and the ease of operating the camera. My wife is not the easiest to please at times and she has no complaints about this camera, thank goodness.lol Amazon shipped the item right away I never had any problems with shipping or anything else an overall great experience. And another thing paid no taxes and shipping was free how can you beat that, way to go Amazon.

Got this camera on sale at Hhgregg for only $80. The features and size exceeded requirements for what I was looking for to replace my old (fading yellow flash) Fugi 4mp 3X zoom for a quality pocket camera using AA batteries. I have a 10X zoom kodak for vacation "great pictures and videos and long life battery" but it's too bulky to take on social occasions. And I don't own a camera cell phone. Wasn't thrilled to see the L20 Coolpix was made in China but what isn't anymore? The Nikon has a few "have to learn" features to finally get it right and isn't really intuitive for a 63 year old who is way behind on the electronic learning curve. Once I learned that in "easy auto mode" one has to push the shutter button 1/2 way (like my old camera)to lock in the pix before taking it all was well. Also once one plays with the multitude of advanced features and editing capability it becomes somewhat amazing using the enlarged screen. It would be nice if there was a viewer but even in the bright FL sun I can still make out the objects I'm trying to photo. I had one issue where I thought the batteries went dead without the logo warning and replaced them only to have it happen again so was ready to return L20 to store. Upon closer inspection the battery/memory door is tricky (must use slight force down and sideways) to get closed properly and can otherwise be ajar making it lose power without any warning while off. Once that problem was solved I have become very attached to this little gem. The ruby red color grows on you too. Like I said a little gem.

I bought this camera as a gift for my bf and he absolutely loves it. The picture quality is great and I love the wide screen on the back, it is very easy to use, we only had to look in the manual once (to see how to crop pics on the camera). It has great features. I would reccommend this camera to anyone.

I bought the Coolpix L20 the day it came out in February 2009, to replace my ancient Kodak. I liked the description of the features, particularly the "Easy Auto Mode," since I sometimes found myself wanting to switch modes on my Kodak more quickly than it could handle.
I have to say that I was underwhelmed. While the modes were very good for their intended purposes (I got some amazing shots of a sunrise from the Promenade in Jerusalem while touring), the shutter speed and focus were disappointing. Shooting pictures from a moving tour bus was impossible, and the photos I tried to take during a friend's wedding all came out hopelessly blurred. When I tried switching to the Easy Auto Mode, the camera spent long enough deciding which mode to use that the moment was gone by the time the picture finally snapped. Thank goodness other friends are willing to share their wedding snapshots. I don't mean that the camera takes an extremely long time, just do not use Easy Auto Mode while trying to capture something in motion.
The video capability of this camera was a really nice surprise. With a memory card in, I could shoot up to 20 minutes of footage, consecutively or non-consecutively. For fast motion, taking a video got you a much better image than a still.
The LCD of the camera was smashed in my suitcase while flying; when I called Nikon, they said LCD replacement is not covered under warranty and it would be $80 just for parts, never mind labor. Goodbye Coolpix L20, it was nice knowing you. To avoid this fate, I recommend always packing this camera packed in something soft and surrounded by a rigid container.
