    Review Summary: The Nikon Coolpix L4 is a very cheap digital camera and it has the poor performance to match. It is one of the slowest cameras available. It also has a very small ISO range which cannot be controlled by the user.

    Review Summary: A competant but not oustanding budget offer, the Coolpix L4 will more than suffice for occasional snapshots.
