The Nikon Coolpix L18 takes good pictures for the price and should suit entry-level users well. The lens is particularly good, so images are clean, accurate and have little to no distortion. Colors are muted, however, and the vivid color mode can produce wacky results. The L18 also offers a bare minimum in terms of customization and manual controls, so it's really only appropriate for the most ardent point-and-shooters. We do like the inclusion of D-lighting in an entry-level camera, though it seems bizarre that Nikon wouldn't also have full face detection. We'd confidently recommend the L18 to someone looking for a literal 'push the button take a photograph' device, but anyone else shouldn't be setting their sights this low. Release: March 2008. Price: $100.
Pros: Good image quality. D-lighting is useful. Simple control scheme.
Cons: Simplicity verges on crippling. Lens housing is wobbly.
