Review

June 2008, Nikon COOLPIX L18 Review

by Daniel Grotta and Sally Wiener Grotta

Laptop magazine’s Daniel Grotta and Sally Wiener Grotta recently tested the Nikon COOLPIX L18 and proclaimed it one of the fastest point-and-shoot cameras on the market because of its quick start-up time. They later praised the L18 for its good looks and ease of use. The editors were also amazed by the easy-to-use video controls and superb video quality of the COOLPIX L18. The editors concluded that the blazingly quick L18 was a fun little camera with the ability to take great images and videos.
