Simple, Basic, Affordable (DCHQ Editors - 6/5/08)

The Nikon L18 is a fun digital camera for casual users. It doesn't have any high-end features, but it has all the basics: 3x optical zoom, face detection, image stabilization, and red-eye fix. It also has some on-screen editing features—including a panoramic mode—for quick polishing of photos. Both small and easy to use, the L18 is a fine camera. read original review
