Nikon L19 Details

Editors' Comments

[Read our full Nikon L19 review] An excellent choice for buyers seeking affordability (though not necessarily quality), the Nikon L19 is as simple as a digital camera can get. 8.0-megapixel resolution and a 3.6x optical Zoom Nikkor lens let's you get close to the action while taking photos that don't skimp on the color or sharpness. A 2.7-inch high-resolution LCD screen makes taking and reviewing your photos easier than ever. And Nikon's Smart Portrait System, with Red-eye Fix and Face Priority AE ensures every portrait looks fantastic. The Nikon L19 uses SD/SDHC memory cards, which makes storing and sharing your precious moments with others easy.
