Nikon Coolpix L10
Editor's Review
Small, simple, straightforward; these are the things users will love about the Nikon L10. It's not crammed full of unnecessary features or overwhelming specs. This 5-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is enough to take good photos that will print well with as little difficulty as possible. The L11 is a perfect shooter for casual photographers on a budget. If you feel like you need a little extra boost, the L11 has a slightly larger 6MP sensor.

I have two camera's nikon and yashica, i have taken video on both camera's tried to play in one other, strange yashica plays the video taken by nikon but nikon cannot but both video's can be play in pc windows player. it shows that the file contains no image data. can anyboby assist me in this matter. my mail id is srakkireddy1@gmail.com
Than
but the problem is the camera's i am using are nikon s570 and yashica EZ both have the same video format AVI, when i raised the question in other forum's some say resolution and encoding problem? the video taken in nikon is played by yashica but not vice versa and even checked it eith fuji which has same AVi format
A good step up for the price is the Nikon P5000 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ), which for around $75 gets you a 3x optical zoom and 5 megapixels.
Or, you can just hand them your used camera and get yourself a newer one!
It depends on age, really. If your child it teen age, then perhaps Aditya's suggestions have weight. But I would be most remiss to trust a "tween" with a $170 + camera. They drop em, they leave em somewhere. It's a maturity thing.
But digital cameras are PERFECT for kids in that they don't have to keep what they don't like and only print what they do!
I may not need any more answers now onwards.
If something is gray market, it means that - although you may have gotten a great deal on it - it doesn't come with a warranty that will be honored here in this country. Which means if something goes wrong with the camera, you'll either have to send it to China to repair or pay to have it fixed yourself.
Be warned.
The pictures are still in the card until and unless they are over written.
I would remove the card from the camera, wipe the contact points with clean dry cloth and use a card reader to copy the pictures to he computer.
If this doesn't work, then you need to download and install <a href="download.com/Zero-Assumptio... Assumption digital image recovery</a> which will recover the pictures for you.
Check the toggle on the side of the card. It is a very small sliding plastic piece along the edge. If you move it to the opposite position, it should unlock the card. Let me know if that works.

The internet connection type shouldn't matter. Make sure your camera is on and in playback mode, not photo mode.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
I haven't formatted my memory card b4 using it.
As i said before error is not Memory contains no image data it's File contains no image data sorry for the wrong information provided .
I tried removing the memory card and clicked some snaps and it's working fine.
But once i put the memory card it gives error message as provided above .
I am using AC Data Speedy SD 1GB memory card
Would memory card be the problem.
Please give your valuable suggestion on this.
And since you said you haven't formatted it. Then you should do that. I'm betting it solves the problem. Just check in your setup for formatting. You have to do this in order to take pictures with your memory card. It doesn't come preformatted.
Think of it this way. You want to plant crops in a field. If you just toss the seeds on the ground, chances are, nothing is going to grow. But if you plow the field, you're success rate just got better.
Sorry for the delayed reply.
I tried to click photos after formatting the memory card but unfortunately that too not working.
It seems the memory card i am using is not supported.
I will check it with new card and update yoy regarding this
BTW - I noticed that you haven't marked any replies as the "best answer." Are you still looking for an answer? If so, I recommend you re-submit it on digitalcamera-hq.com so it will have a better chance of being noticed. These days it looks like most questions are being answered within a few days. Good luck!
I tried with 128mb chip and it works fine
Thanks all
You know what, I got curious and log on to Nikon USA for the specifications of Nikon L10.
It says Nikon L10 is compatible to SDHC and SD memory cards. see <a href="nikonusa.com/template.php?c... same information also appears <a href="shopping.yahoo.com/p:Nikon%... this location</a> as well as in <a href="dpreview.com/news/0702/0702... it is confirmed that your Nikon L10 definitely can use 1 gig memory card.
The reason that it is not doing so with the card that you are using probably means the particular card is faulty.
Would you like to free yourself from the 128 mb limit and try Sandisk 1 or 2 gig card instead. I am sure Sandisk memory card will make a difference.
The L10 does indeed have a continuous drive mode, but none of the information I can find (not even the product spec sheet on Nikon's site) says what kind of fps it gets or how many shots it can take.
Sorry I can't help you out any more than that.
Good luck!
Are you getting an error when you put them in? Try going into the Setup menu of the camera and choosing to Format card. Sometimes the memory card just needs to be formatted in the camera before they will 'recognize' each other. Do keep in mind that doing this format erases anything on the card, so don't do it after shooting any photos you want to keep.
If that doesn't work, come back and let me know exactly what happens when you put the cards in. You may have a defect.
The camera came with a Kinston 1GB..
Approved cards include SanDisk, Panasonic and Toshiba..
HTH
In the cade the card is pre formatted to 32 bit in any computer, the camera never reads the card but you only receive the message "No image" even if the card is bank or containing data, picture, etc.
Pls reformat your SD card in your computer by selecting 16 bit and then put it in the camera and take picture.
So I don't think you absolutely need to to use a NiKad, but you need to be sure that they are from a reputable and approved third party.
you get what you pay for.
You want video, you're better off getting a video camera that also has a still camera built in, imho.
Thanks for the input. I was deciding between a few models in my price range and liked this due to all it's features but some shot better video. I guess you can't have it all.
For 1 week abroad you might not use it much or you could end up using it a lot more than you thought. For the space the charger takes up in your suitcase I would definitely take it just to be on the safe side.
Have a good trip,
Mark

There is a very long delay which results in missing most shots (people get tired of waiting and think you're an idiot). There is a "lens error" problem with the lens getting stuck (you'll find hundreds of people writing about this problem) which has rendered my camera unusable after just 6 months), and it ruined a 2 GB memory card after my first download, and I had to purchase a card reader to download. Terrible camera. Not worth it.

I took this camera in the month of Feb'2007. Campared to price this camera is excellent. It can be used to take leisure movie and in day light it gives good quality picture. On problem is the slow shutter speed as a result for second picture you have to wait for a few second which is boring. It looks nice and easy to operate. My kids loves it too because of its simple operation.

frustrating...not at all dependable of a camera...randomly, when I power it up to take a photo the view screen is blank - pitch black, which is what you end up taking a picture of. Tried the obvious fixes, and the user manual and internet posts are useless in troubleshooting. Avoid this camera, buy something reliable even if you have to spend more money. This is garbage.

We bought one of these for my 16 year-old son's birthday and within 2 months the LCD screen was broken. He had it in the flimsy case and backed into something hard, but that's no excuse. There is no hard protective covering, just the bare screen. I would think Nikon would make a better camera (adding a 29 cent plastic cover to the LCD wouldn't be that difficult). I am trying to get them to cover it under warranty, but it will probably be a pay for repair.
I see there are several aftermarket screen protectors on the market, so that would be a good investment for anyone that has one of these cameras.

Picture quality is good, and the camera is easy to use. The only problem is that, when connected to the computer USB port, it demands that I install the Nikon software and USB driver. This is not the correct behavior; it should emulate a generic USB thumb drive, and not require installing anything on the computer. I already have photo software (I use GIMP) and I don't need to clutter the computer with proprietary stuff from Nikon.

I've been a professional photographer since the early 60's so it may seem strange that I like these small inexpensive cameras. I am very tired of toting a bag of equiptment or hanging a heavy camera 'roung my neck. The Nikon does just about anything in the "usual" photos area. Family, vacation trips, birthday you name it. It has the red eye correction, set-ups for night, fireworks, museum, back light, panorama, sports, face priority, focus lock and multi shots. It shoots movies at a top resolution of 640x489 at 30 fps. Figure about 20 min of good video on a 1 gig sd card. Also plan on rechargeable AA batteries, although the regular batteries that came with it lasted for several days. The only feature I do not like is the close up especially with flash; massive overexposure. The instructions talk about staying 5.9 inches away from subject and using the telephoto/wide angle to compose the shot, but doesn't seem to help much with flash. Outside in natural light it's much better (for flowers and such use the "vivid color" mode: photos look like they are from 'National Geographic'), The camera seems quite sturdy which my old slr's share with them (from the 60's and still going strong) but protect the screen as they get damaged easily, like many digital cameras it has no viewfinder to use in leu of the lcd. (my common complaint) Final note, easiest digital I've found to get used to in a long while.

So far i have no problem with my nikon L10. It takes unbeliveble clear pictures and i love the fact that it is also a camcorder. This is my first digital camera but so far i am so impressed with it not only is it small and sleek it is cute and very easy to use, even my 7 year old son knows how to operate it. I rate this camera very higly and would advise anyone who is planning on buying a digital camera, to comsider Nikon L10 if not sure which and what product to buy.

I have this camera =]
It's a pretty good camera.
But when it comes to using the flash it sometimes can be too bright and the picture might come out strange.
But once you get the hang of using this camera- which shouldn't take too long. It's good.
I'm sure there are better cameras out there but if anyone is looking for a normal, ordinary camera that's not too professinal...
Well, then this is the one.

I bought 2 of these cameras Had to return 1 of them within 2 days I would take pictures and it would say there were no images. They gave me a new one got out into the parking lot and it did the same thing went back into the store the manager tried 2 more new cameras and they did the same thing the only one that worked was the display. It worked for 1 week now the lens got stuck will not retract> So this one will be going back tomorrow. The other 1 is still working but occasionally it will not turn off so I have to pop the batteries out. I think I'm going to return it to because I just don't trust it.
