Nikon L19

from $89.00
[Read our full Nikon L19 Review] The Nikon Coolpix L19 is about as simple as a camera can get. It's a small, no-fuss point-and-shoot digital camera with a more-than-satisfactory eight megapixel CCD sensor. Great for casual photographers who don't want to get too wrapped up in the operation of their camera, the Nikon L19 is a smart buy for consumers interested in saving themselves time, frustration, and most importantly, money. Remember, though: you get what you pay for. So while the L19 is great for convenience and ease-of-use, you miss out on certain elements that make for high-quality photos.
