Little piece of crap
After carefully checking every reviewed camera on amazon we decided to purchase a pink one for my daughter last christmas. She was trully happy, good quality image, blah, blah, blah
After a month of use the LCD screen went black and since my kid had lost the receipt nothing could be done but I agree... what about their quality?
An almos 5 star product should not be allowed such crappy behavior.
Now she has no camera.
:(

Batteries drain even when turned OFF
Decent performance, size and price. But if you use it only occasionally then every time you pick it up the batteries will be dead/low. Scene mode seems very susceptible, it always thinks the batteries are low after 20 shots or a week of being off. Been through 20 sets of batteries of all different brands, and the battery type is set correctly in setup. Would avoid, other cameras seem to have same problem so research carefully.

DON'T BUY COOLPIX L10
I bought this camera seven months ago. I paid like 0 for it. I did not use it that much but the shuter button broke. I sent it to Nikon for repair. They sent me the bill for 5.59. I called Nikon and they told me to send by fax receipt so that they can honor warranty. I'm still waiting for answer.

For an amateur (like me) GREAT
I bought the L10 in Panama several weeks ago. My old camera was stolen earlier, and cameras are very expensive in Costa Rica where I live now. I paid 0.00 which was a little above the Amazon price.
I slapped a 2 gig memory card in it and started taking pictures. I never read the instructions or fooled around with the settings. (The salesperson set it on automatic for me.)I have a USB card reader for my computer and downloading the pictures is a snap.
Since then I lent it to my housekeeper for a child's birthday party. She took pictures with it and she let the little kids take pictures.
Bottom line--there haven't been any bad pictures yet from an amateur's viewpoint. I know that it is not adequate for professions, but if my kind use is the kind of use you make of a camera--I highly recommend it. And my star rating is for this kind of use.

Nice simple camera
Bought this for Christmas and have been very pleased since. Simple functionality for taking pictures. Takes clear decent pictures with very few shaky images. The best part is the low usage on batteries (use rechargable). Had a Panasonic that sucked batteries dry before. In the end, this camera is perfect for quick picts.
