Nikon Europe Press Release
New COOLPIX L-Series offer ease of use and extra-large LCD-screens
The user-friendly COOLPIX L-Series cameras offer high resolution, large LCDs and 3x optical zoom for excellent value
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 29, 2008 - Nikon Europe today launched the newest member of its successful COOLPIX Life-Series, the L16 compact digital still camera. The L16 is affordable, compact and easy to operate. The L-Series cameras deliver great close-ups, find faces and fix red eyes automatically to help everyone create beautiful images.
“The COOLPIX L-Series is all about cameras that are fun to use and help consumers experience the joy of taking great pictures,” said Martina Beckmann, Manager Communications & Marketing Services for Nikon Europe B.V. “With Nikon’s legendary optical quality and powerful technology, the new L-Series cameras offer tremendous value for an affordable price.”
The COOLPIX Lifestyle L16
The COOLPIX L16 offers 7.1 effective megapixel resolution and a 2.8-inch wide-angle LCD screen. Like the L18, it has a 5.7-17.1mm lens with a 3x optical zoom, with an aperture range of f/2.8-f/4.7.
Both L-Series models feature simple, accessible designs with dedicated Shooting and Playback mode buttons. With the Easy auto mode, the user can simply turn on the camera and shoot without worrying about settings. The camera can even detect individual or multiple faces in a group, then focus and zoom in to make a perfect composition. If required, focus and zoom can also be steered manually with the convenient multi-selector and zoom controls. The L16 is available in silver or matt black and has an internal memory of 16MB and a slot for a SDHC memory card.
L-Series Image Enhancement Features
Both cameras utilise Nikon’s innovative high-performance EXPEED digital image processing. The L-Series cameras also feature face-priority auto focus, which quickly detects and focuses on up to 5 faces at once. In addition, the light falling on faces is measured producing a more natural result. Additional innovations include anti-shake auto exposure which compensates for camera movement, avoiding blurred results by increasing shutter speed and sensitivity. The L Series also features In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which analyses each image and automatically finds and corrects any accidental red-eye, and D-Lighting, which enhances underexposed images.
Accessories and Pricing
The L16 is supplied with two AA batteries, a USB cable, audio video cable, a strap and Nikon’s Software Suite CD-ROM for COOLPIX. A battery charger, rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and AC adapter are available as optional accessories. The L16 measures 95 (W) x 61 (H) x 29.5 (D) mm, and weighs approx. 125g (without battery and SD memory card). Estimated street price for the L16 is €119.

Just bought an L16... it's my 3rd Nikon Coolpix. Does anyone know how I can reset the photo counter w/o having to reset all camera settings? I wish they would have a seperate setting for that? Every time I take a new batch of photos & want the photo count to start at one (I keep a photo diary), I have to reset all, then have to remember to go back & reset other settings.

Just purchased a Nikon Coolpix L16 and immediately had a problem with the memory card locking into place (they were too cheap to give you a memory card). Had to hold it down and close the access lid carefully. It seemed to work like this until I reviewed the pictures and half of them were unreadable, one was distorted, and one was split in half with the halves reversed left to right! Guess I'll try to get my money back.

Is it true that this Cam does NOT have ''image stabilization''? I don't understand why a Nikon does not have this feature..... Please tell me if it does or does not have this ''important'' feature....

As a professional, I just bought this L16 as a cheap and small compact that fits in my pocket so I can take smaps on family weekends out when I don't want to lug around my D3 and kit. I find it to be perfect for the job. I would suggest that anyone wanting any more should consider paying considerably more then the 60 quid I just paid in argos. The only thing I will be putting in is some rechargable batteries. Another great Nikon product!

When the batteries that came with the camera were exhausted I recharged as instructed, but when I put the batteries back in the camera they immediately discharged. As I had with me some already charged batteries for my other camera I tried those. The same thing happened. Has anybody come across this problem?

Awful Camera- i purchased 1 18 months ago, 6 months later I got Lens error and the lens was stuck out. i returned it to Argos to get it repaired under the 12 month guarantee , I then took it on a holiday of a lifetime 2 weeks ago and the same error. I had no camera to take any holiday shots. I had to purchase a camera which was twice the price of l16 again a nikon s3000.
I have returned to find I do not get a guarantee with this new Camera as it was purchased outside of the uk and Europe (not by choice). Additionally I have to pay to get the broken camera fixed- last Nikon purchased by my family very poor customer service.
