Nikon Coolpix L4 review
The £90 Coolpix L4 is the least expensive of Nikon's low-end L-series line of digital cameras. The L4 has a small, 4-megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens and a handful of scene preset modes but few high-end settings. Though slow and not very versatile, it produces some pretty good pictures for its budget price Read more

Nikon Coolpix L3 review
The Nikon Coolpix L3 is the midrange member of Nikon's simple, inexpensive L-series digital cameras. The 5-megapixel camera sports a 3x optical zoom lens, a handful of useful scene modes and a small price tag -- and this little shooter produces good-looking images for the price Read more

Nikon Coolpix S4150 review
For anyone after a cheap and cheerful snapper, this is one to consider, but take a look at the Coolpix S6150 before deciding what to buy where a small amount extra buys you a better camera. Read more

Nikon Coolpix 5900 review
A smattering of cor-blimey features lifts this compact point-and-shoot model above the 5-megapixel crowd, including Face-Priority Autofocus, a post-shot shadow-brightening tool, help features and blur detection. A poor low-light autofocus and an inaccurate optical viewfinder will disappoint, however Read more

Nikon Coolpix L12 review
The Nikon Coolpix L12 is a 7-megapixel budget camera that boasts two high-end features with optical Vibration Reduction that shifts the camera's 35-105mm equivalent lens to reduce shake. It also has face recognition technology that identifies subjects' faces and adjusts settings accordingly to best capture them Read more

Nikon Coolpix L5 review
Like a growing number of cameras, the Coolpix L5 combines a short list of features with plenty of automation to provide a relatively thought-free user experience. The simplicity of this compact may appeal to those daunted by a multitude of settings, but some will be disappointed by the sluggish performance Read more

Nikon Coolpix S210 review
The Nikon Coolpix S210 does exactly what it says on the tin. It's small and compact; it won't leave you with an emptied wallet; and it takes decent pictures. Start shooting and you'll find it focuses quickly and your shots come out with well-balanced colours Read more

Nikon Coolpix P50 review
The Nikon Coolpix P50 has an old-fashioned, boxy feel with a helpful chunky grip. It's a solidly built, easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts kind of camera. It offers a surprisingly high degree of control over image settings, and as a result its photos are excellent quality for the price Read more

Nikon Coolpix L6 review
Like the rest of Nikon's L series the L6 eschews features in favour of simplicity. This 6-megapixel camera with its 38mm-to-116mm 3x optical zoom lens does not let you select an ISO and its performance can be slow, but if you like the idea of fully automated shooting, it could be a good choice Read more

Nikon Coolpix L10 review
The Nikon Coolpix L10 comes from a family of rock-bottom budget cameras, but they don't skim on performance. The L10 did well in our tests, both in shooting time and in keeping the noise levels under control. While this isn't a camera with lots of frills, it does its family proud as a simple point-and-shoot Read more
