While it doesn't feature an ultracompact metal body like the new Coolpix S-series cameras, or the viewfinder and manual controls of the new P60, Nikon's new budget-priced Coolpix L18 stands out as the most affordable of Nikon's new cameras.
The colourful, 8-megapixel L18 sports a large 76mm (3-inch) LCD screen, a surprising feature in a sub-£100 camera. Besides the large screen, however, the L18 offers a standard and unremarkable feature set, including a 3x optical zoom, 32MB of built-in memory, and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 1,600.
It draws power from two AA batteries. The Coolpix L18 ships in March with a suggested retail price of £99. It will be available in a variety of colours, including red and blue versions. -Will Greenwald
