Nikon Coolpix L12 review

Nikon Coolpix L16. Just returned from bringing my second Nikon L16 camera back to the shop. Same problem both times - the screen went. Nothing was visible on the screen. It still took photos though, you could just not see what you were taking. This camera was pretty dismal even before the 1st or 2nd return (replaced 1st time, refund second). Why? Well I have a number of unhappy's; (1) If there was any dim light, even a little then the photos were invariably out of focus, hazy or just poor quality - and I know the limitations of compacts (2) At times it could not handle close ups, even with the correct mode, it would auto focus in, then out, of the subject, sometimes going past what I considered the optimum focal distance (subject clear & sharp) only to come up with the "red square" symbols indicating unabe to get a good image, (3) It was slow to start on switching on. (4) Photos of say a mountain with a topped in snow orwith a subject backed by bright sky would end up with just white where the brighter parts of the photo should have been. I have had compact camera's before but did not really encounter these problems. I bought this camera as I was so impressed by the Nikon Coolpix 4100 which sadly ahd a scratch to thr lens. I will now probably head for the Canon Shop. Good points, looked very good, had some niffty multishot options, big screen. Over all rating 4/10. Do not buy this camera.
