Nikon Coolpix L1

Anyone got one? heard its a pretty fine camera.

thats the one!

heard lots of people had focusing problems.. but i've dealt with digital cameras for a long time now.. i do photography of downtown jackson landmarks.. so that doesn't bother me..


i love the "help" programs it has.. that explains why and if its blurry.. etc.

not to mention the huge screen on the back

this is me. I found if you are really into photography, don't beat around the bush, get the camera that's the best to you. I must say don't waste your money buying a box camera, go and get yourself the slr.

I enjoy the compact cameras.. I have done some really great shots with these types of cameras.. besides, Its just about the only thing I can afford for my hobby as of now.. and at a 6.2 meg camera.. doesnt seem like that bad of a deal.

I need the wide angle, and it is on this one..

I dunno.. I have found some of these to be just as effective as the more expensive one's...

yeah.. That is a badass camera.. no doubt..


I want it I want It I want it!

Effective, yes. It all depends upon what you want to shoot. Most of the "box" type cameras take less time to set up for a shot, but they give you less control over the image.

Check out this website for all your digital photo needs. They take your digital images and make real photo-paper pictures of them. They also do enlargements up to 20x30. I have been using this company for well over 15 years.

It really is a joy to work with. I have a 50mm lens with an f.stop of 1.8. that's awesome in low light. It is however a little thight. I also have a 18-55mm, but the stop on that is something like 3.5, this is a great lens for high light shots.

I really learned photography on a pentex k1000. I am happy with the EOS because it gives me the full range of manual controls.
