Nikon COOLPIX L27 Compact Digital Camera - Black (16.1MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD (discontinued by manufacturer)

Product Information

Lens Performance - When shooting wide the images have a decent amount of detail in the centre, but are very soft in the corners and edges, with purple fringing appearing in the our test shot above. When using the zoom, detail also reduces slightly in the centre of the images, with chromatic aberration evident as well. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 10cm, detail when shooting macros isn't too good. There's no manual control of the ISO sensitivity on the Nikon Coolpix L27 so we couldn't perform an effective test. We tried to force the ISO up by reducing the amount of light available but could only get from ISO 80 to ISO 200. The images are lovely and sharp at the lowest setting and we couldn't detect any noise at that level. Of course to use this effectively, you need to have a lot of light. The memory card also goes in there next to the batteries. Although there is a small amount of internal memory (20Mb), the camera accepts SD memory cards up to and including SDXC. This relatively new format has a theoretical top capacity of 2Tb (2048Gb). The L27 also accepts Eye-Fi wireless connection memory cards. These cards link to the internet when in a wi-fi hotspot and will transmit your pictures to a computer or tablet for you to upload online or store. Great for if you're not getting access to a computer for a while.

The post-shot review length is unadjustable, but it varies from two to six seconds depending on the strength of the batteries. Some users may find this bothersome since there is no way to cancel it or take another shot while it's on the screen. This stylish Nikon COOLPIX L27 is a easy to use compact camera features a 16-megapixel CCD image sensor delivering high-resolution images and crisp 720p HD videos that reproduce even fine details. cm (2.7-in.), Approx. 230k-dot, TFT LCD with anti-reflection coating and 5-level brightness adjustmentWhat we don't understand is why the camera allows changing the white-balance but not the ISO. The white balance system on the Nikon Coolpix L27 is actually very accurate and can deal with 99% of scenarios on its own. We only had to change it when shooting in strong incandescent light. It's our opinion that the ISO is far more important a tool not to keep, yet it's gone.

It's on the flash settings. There's only one red-eye function on auto flash. Because of this, it wouldn't fire during our test period as it was too light. However, we couldn't detect any red-eye on the shot without it, so it seems unnecessary to need it in most cases.
