Nikon 6-megapixel Digital Cameras

Nikon Coolpix L11

Some budget digital cameras offer surprisingly good picture quality for very little money, such as the Nikon Coolpix L11, a simple, easy-to-use 6-megapixel point-and-shoot that produces very acceptable pictures for under £100

Nikon D40

The D40 has been designed to be easy to master -- you don't need to be a photographic genius -- but it also has enough functionality to satisfy those wanting to take their hobby further. We think the image quality from the 6.1-megapixel sensor will astonish those used to compact cameras

Nikon Coolpix L6

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

Nikon Coolpix S10

Nikon's Coolpix S10 is a stylish superzoom camera with an iconic swivel design. It features an excellent 10x optical zoom lens and sports a 6-megapixel CCD sensor with sensor-shift image stabilisation, to help keep that long lens steady. It's an attractive offering and produces good images, but some may find it lacking in advanced controls

Nikon Coolpix S9

The Coolpix S9 is a 6-megapixel digital camera that really is ultracompact -- it's just 20mm thick and weighs only 116g. That it's so much less expensive than other ultracompacts is due to a squeeze on build quality and features -- fewer pixels in the LCD, only up to ISO 400 and no image stabilisation or manual exposure controls

Nikon Coolpix L2

The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort. The Coolpix L2 squarely targets casual photographers though, and more experienced users may be frustrated by the camera's lack of controls

Nikon Coolpix S5

Nikon's Coolpix S5 is a slim, attractive 6-megapixel ultracompact camera that is a winner in design terms. Its 64mm LCD screen, satin silver finish and internally zooming 3x optical lens will be a hit with style-conscious casual photographers, and its iPod-style scrolling click wheel provides users with an easy interface

Editor's rating 7.0

Nikon Coolpix L1

A 6-megapixel, bare-bones, pocket-size camera that delivers very good photos for snapshooters who don't mind the slightly high price. A compact and attractive camera, it's fairly lightweight and features a zoom rocker and a four-way directional pad that doubles as a control for flash, timer, macro focus and exposure compensation

Editor's rating 6.6

Nikon Coolpix S4

Resurrecting the swivel lens after nearly three years, the S4 comes in a compact package, with 6-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens, a 64mm LCD, and Nikon's signature ease-of-use features. But a lack of manual controls makes this a poor choice for shooting indoors

Editor's rating 6.6

Nikon D50

Seven worry-free scene modes augmented by a serviceable set of manual controls and advanced focusing options make this least-expensive Nikon digital SLR camera a viable alternative to the popular D70s. Budding shutterbugs looking for fast operation coupled with useful features will find much to like
