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
