Awesome Product, Love It – Nikon Coolpix L22 Digital Camera Review
When we visited a water park, on one of the slides, it flew out of my pocket.
This camera has got to be the most unintuitive point and shoot I’ve ever seen or used. I don’t even care about the image quality, even if it were outstanding, the interface and poor design would steer me away. We took it in the pool the next day and noticed it had water in the battery compartment, even with the latch set to lock. Luckily we went back to the room and I had one day left to request a return with Amazon, and since it’s defective they paid the return shipping.
Most of the pictures come blurry and the color of the pictures is greyish. The flash is very poor. The down load of photos and movies was difficult and would not mate with the PC documents files. The battery time was OK and the photos were good. With much research and review reading, we decided to get this camera. Over the past month it has performed just as good, if not better than our old one. It survived a fall off the car hood @ 20 mph and worked. So I was excited to upgrade to this model for a recent Honduras trip. My husband hands it to me and it is extremely warm. I try to shut it off and it won’t shut off. The camera work wonderfully. I took it snorkeling twice and love the pictures and video I got. Those who rated 5 stars pointed to the 1 star reviewers and said they were not paying attention to the actual features, or ‘learning’ how to use it properly. Within 10 minutes of just ‘playing around’ I found how to change turn off the immediate preview, and change the shutter speed from normal to ‘sequential’ to ‘high sequential’.
The ‘manual’ is stored in the camera, which was new to me, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out. All in all, I like that better because it saves resources, as well as the added benefit of a ‘tutorial’ scenario where the user can practice different shooting modes and methods, etc.
Phone is now dead as disco and the return labels have already been printed. That’s too bad too, because I was very happy with the quality of the pictures and really liked the thought of shooting pictures under water. It takes super clear pictures and great video. Learn how to use some of the settings and you’ll have a great camera. Anyway, I waited hoped it would work after drying out. Then LCD screen would constantly turn on and off.
I took it to my daughter’s Christmas concert. My husband took pictures and the camera would not shut off.
I haven’t yet, as I decided to see if it will grow on me. GIRLS SLEEPING BAGS.
