A seriously low price, but with disappointing automatic exposures and no way to adjust settings, you get what you pay for.

Review : Nikon Coolpix L23 Digital Camera

I hesitate to use %C2%91entry level%C2%92 about any <b>camera</b> from <b>Nikon</b>. The <b>Nikon</b> <b>Coolpix</b> <b>L23</b> is a small <b>digital</b> <b>camera</b> and probably the nearest thing they do to %C2%91point and shoot%C2%92 however this is still a more than competent piece of <b>camera</b> equipment.

The new L23 sits right at the bottom of the Nikon Coolpix range, but that doesn't mean that you should immediately write it off. After all, £69.99 / €81.00 buys you quite a lot of camera, with a 5x wide-angle zoom lens, 2.7 inch LCD screen and 10 megapixel CCD sensor all included. Read our in-depth Nikon Coolpix L23 to find out if you really can get a capable camera at this price-point...
