Dcresource has posted a review of the Nikon Coolpix L5 digital camera.

Jeff Keller writes: What I liked:

  • Decent photo quality (but see issues below)
  • 5X zoom lens in a fairly compact body
  • Optical image stabilization
  • Large 2.5″ LCD
  • Powerful flash
  • Redeye not a problem
  • Tons of scene modes; in-camera help system
  • Handy D-Lighting and Best Shot Selector features

What I didn’t care for:

  • Soft photos with fuzzy details
  • Since ISO is automatic, photos can be noisier than desired
  • No manual controls (save for white balance)
  • Audio/video sync problem in movie mode
  • No AF-assist lamp; poor low light focusing
  • Low resolution LCD
  • No optical viewfinder
  • Exposure info not available in playback mode
  • Tiny amount of built-in memory
  • Plastic tripod mount
  • No USB 2.0 High Speed support
