The Nikon Coolpix L18 Digital Camera provides simple operation with a compact and stylish camera body. The 8.0 megapixel resolution combined with the high quality 3x Nikkor-Zoom lens produces beautiful photographs while its intuitive operation ensures error-free command over the camera's features & functions. The large 3" LCD display offers a bright image that is a pleasure to view, even outdoors. The body itself assures a solid grip with a balance of flowing surfaces contrasted by sharp edge lines.

Extended light sensitivity as high as ISO 1600 prevents blurred shots in lower light, or when capturing fast-moving subjects.

Powered by Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing engine, the Coolpix L18 features a selection of three innovative functions that provide the ability to actually improve the quality of images within the camera. Face-priority AF automatically finds, then focuses on people's faces for crisp, clear results time after time. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically compensates to help eradicate traces of the annoying red-eye effect that can sometimes be encountered during flash photography. And D-Lighting can be applied to improve underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight. D-Lighting automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched.
