Great camera with all necessary features for beginner (and even more advanced). I purchased this camera as a gift for my friend, and it works great. It looks like the best combination of quality and price. Also, I received this camera in no time – literally, on next day.

First off I am a big fan of Nikon. I own three Nikon DSLR’s and really like them all.

As of a few months ago I owned one Nikon L3 point and shoot camera and one Canon A720 IS P&S camera. The Canon seemed to be much better and I had a little cash to spare so I bought the newer version of each, a Nikon L22 and a Canon A1100 IS. For what I want, the Canon is much better.

The Nikon isn’t a bad camera, but it isn’t what I want in a camera. There are not enough manual controls. You can see from a picture of the camera that it does not have the big button function selector on top. You are a slave to the Nikon menu’s and they don’t have nearly the number of choices that I want. There is no Program shooting mode, just Auto. Therefore it will not allow me to choose the ISO setting, which is improtant to me. Like most P&S cameras it does not have a viewfinder so you are left to hold the camera out one or two feet away from you to shoot the picture. I want a viewfinder to look through so that my head helps hold the camera steady, which is VERY improtant in taking a picture with any kind of camera. Some, but not all, of the Canon P&S cameras do have a viewfinder.

If you can get past the limitations of auto selected ISO settings and can hold the camera steady, there is no problem with picture quality. My guess is that a lot of people who don’t know as much as I do about digital cameras would love the simplicity of the L22, and the L22 is 40-50 bucks cheaper than most Canon P&S cameras so it just depends on what you want in a camera.

While it doesn’t have some features of the newer models like a touch screen, this model is pretty simple to use and produces quality pictures. It’s also small enough to carry around comfortably in a jacket pocket and turns on quickly and is ready to go which is nice for taking quick snapshots on trips. All in all a pretty good value if you are looking for a decent easy to use camera for around a hundred dollars.

Easy to use, no complications, starts in an instant. It has taken great pictures I love it.

I simply LOVE this camera. I am an over 50 year old artist. I wanted good quality pictures but I don’t really understand the new technology. This camera is so easy to use and gets the quality I want in the pictures. You can even adjust certain elements to improve the picture even more to your liking. I would recommend this camera to anyone.
