Nikon Coolpix L3 Review at Steves Digicams
DIWA member Steves Digicams have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix L3, a 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom lens and 2 inch LCD.
“The L3’s shooting performance was a bit sluggish for a camera in this class. Power up to first image captured measured 3.2 seconds, much of which is consumed by extending the lens. While the shutter lag averaged just /10 of a second when pre-focused, it slowed to a leisurely 1.3 seconds including autofocus time. When shooting in single exposure mode, the shot to shot delay measured approx. 2.1 seconds between frames without use of the flash and between 6 and 8 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance and battery life. I also noticed that when using the camera’s red-eye reduction flash mode, the viewfinder blanks during the pre- flash, a critical period of just under one second.”
