If you're shopping for a small digital camera to use for everyday picture taking, be sure to check out the Nikon CoolPix L18. Compact so that you can fit it into your purse or pocket, the Nikon CoolPix L18 provides a user friendly camera making is great for family gatherings, weddings, outings, or just about any other daily activity that a large digital camera would be a hassle to carry around with you.

Though it's small in size, the Nikon CoolPix L18 has the components to produce large, clear photos. The 8.0 megapixels creates digital files that can print sharp images up to 16 x 20 inches. The CoolPix also features a new type of digital processor, dubbed EXPEED, that keeps the same sharpness and coloring in the photo that you see with the naked eye. The EXPEED processor aids in quicker response times, ensuring the camera is ready to shoot again and again without slow processing between shots, and returns better quality so that photos look natural.

The CoolPix L18 has a great 3.0 inch LCD screen, and as a result you will be able to preview your pictures more easily and ultimately you have a much easier time lining up your shots. On bright and sunny days, you'll be happy to know the LCD screen also is coated with Nikon's Anti-Reflection technology.

Sometimes to take a great picture you'll need to get a little closer to your subject. With the CoolPix L18 3x Optical Zoom-Nikkor Glass lens you will be able to zoom in and out, at high speeds, all while rendering a natural and higher quality image.

With the adjustable IS0 the CoolPix L18 captures perfect, natural looking pictures. The ISO feature is easily adjustable allowing the user to take photos in almost any lighting condition, from bright mid-day pictures to those dark late-at-night pictures. If you like to keep things simple, the automatic mode will adjust the ISO for you so you will have the best lighting every time.

Do you like taking pictures of your kids but you can't seem to keep them still? You'll be happy to know the L18 has a built in "anti-shake" mode. The anti-shake mode works by detecting small movements in your subject and then automatically adjust the shutter speed resulting and in picture without blurring.

And if you spend too much time editing your digital photos to correct lighting issues and red-eye, you'll benefit from the internal processes in the Nikon CoolPix L18 that help prevent common photo issues. The CoolPix' red-eye fix feature searches for occurrences of red-eye in the subjects of each photo and removes red-eye as the picture is snapped. That means, no more tedious editing work once the photo leaves the camera. The D-lighting feature in the CoolPix makes dark areas of photos appear brighter, while leaving properly-lighted sections untouched, and the face priority feature allows the camera to recognize faces and automatically focus each one of them, so group shots come out great, even when some subjects are closer to the camera than others.

Want more features? The CoolPix has even more to offer. To make your picture taking even easier, the automatic mode gives you multiple picture modes to work with including sports, dusk/dawn, portrait, landscape, and museum. These handy automatic mode options intuitively will change the settings and by adjusting the shutter speed will automatically help you produce the best pictures possible.

If you like your cameras to have multiple uses you'll be happy to know the L18 can record video as well as audio. If you have owned a digital camera in the past with video capability you may have been limited to the amount of time you could video record, however, with the CoolPix L18 video and audio recording is unlimited. The only limit you will have on your video and audio recording will be by the size of your memory card.
