Reviews

The Nikon Coolpix L110 is the company's demoted Super Zoom that answers to the 1080p-clad Coolpix P100. The Coolpix L110 offers a 15x optical zoom, 28mm wide-angle lens, and 720p video recording. Absent are most manual controls and external features. Instead, the Nikon Coolpix L110 seemed like just another average 12-megapixel budget Super Zoom in this price range. Will this 15x Optical Zoom compact prove itself in the Beginner Pool, or will it be splashed out of the water? Read the full Nikon Coolpix L110 at Infoseek World here.
