The Nikon Coolpix L5 provides a generous 7.2 megapixel resolution and produces images with great picture clarity, which can be fully appreciated on the bright 2.5" LCD. The powerful, 38-190mm equivalent Zoom-Nikkor lens ensures matchless compositional freedom, from zooming in for intimate personal portraits to zooming out for expansive outdoor scenes. Furthermore, Lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR) technology allows the user to make the most of 5x zoom lens. Less

Pros Easy to use, light weight and compact
Cons Nothing, a great camera.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera as a replacement for my Olympus D540. Despite the terrible reviews it got I went ahead and purchased it anyway and I am really glad I did. The L5 is easy to use right out of the box, when I turned it on for the first time it walked me through the set up. The L5 has a large... Read full review »

Canon's A495 - Lean & Mean style

Pros Cheap, very good pictures
Cons None at this price
Recommended it? Yes

The Canon Powershot A495 is a compact digicam available on-line for less than ninety dollars. What do buyers have to give up when they buy an A495?  The A495 doesn’t provide an optical viewfinder, relying instead on the 2.5 inch LCD for framing/composition, captured image review, and...

Low-cost, basic point-n-shoot camera with good video

bydenniskly Oct 4, 2010

Pros Inexpensive, good pictures, easy to use, good video
Cons poor battery consumption,  too long to load flash for next shot, shuttle realease...
Recommended it? Yes

Although I already have a compact camera(Canon G11), it’s still too bulky to carry around, so, I look for a sub-compact camera that can be easily put into a pocket, a basic, no-frill, point-n-shoot and has to be cheap. After a long search I come up with a $99 Canon Powershot A495. I've been... Read full review »
