The Nikon Coolpix L11 is the next model up from the L10 also released today.

It features a 6 megapixel CCD image sensor and a 2.4 inch LCD display in addition to a 3x optical zoom lens (with the same f/2.8-5.2 aperture range).

The L11 also features face recognition technology, SDHC cards and in camera red eye reduction.

Nikon’s COOLPIX range has proved extremely popular with both amateurs and professionals with the ability to capture images easily with a stylish and compact camera. The new COOLPIX L10 and COOLPIX L11 are the latest additions to this range, combining a range of features that justify Nikon’s reputation as the pioneer of state-of-the-art camera technology.

Within the stylish and compact bodies of these new models, Nikon has packed in a range of exciting features to achieve optimum results in a variety of challenging conditions. The COOLPIX L10 and the COOLPIX L11 guarantee image quality with resolutions of 6.0 and 5.0 megapixels relatively, as well as light sensitivity of up to ISO 800 which makes it possible to produce quality shots in low light conditions without using lower exposure. These features also ensure that the user is able to capture fast-moving objects without blurring or loss of detail.

Three unique Nikon innovations make it possible to manipulate the images in-camera, enabling hobbyist photographers to achieve excellent results. Face-priority AF detects people’s faces to achieve sharp focus no matter where they happen to be located in the frame; In-Camera Red-Eye Fix tackles this effect by providing automatic compensation for more flattering, natural-looking portraits in low light. Finally, Nikon’s unique D-Lighting function, available in playback mode, improves underexposed images or shots taken with too much back light by creating a copy of an image with added light and detail wherever necessary, leaving well-exposed areas untouched.

Ample LCD screens of 2.0-inch on the COOLPIX 10 and 2.4-inch screen on the COOLPIX L11 allow the user to view their results immediately with friends gathered around. Nikon’s exclusive PictureProject software also makes it easy to edit, organise, transfer and share the images taken with these new cameras.
Nikon COOLPIX L11/L10 Feature Highlights

Compatible with AA batteries
Unlike many compact digital cameras on the market the COOLPIX L11 and the COOLPIX L10 are compatible with AA-size batteries. Thanks to this advantage, users never have to worry about recharging their batteries or running out of power at an unfortunate moment. They can simply pick up a new set of batteries no matter where they are in the world and keep on shooting without worry.

A high quality design
With the COOLPIX L11 and L10, the high quality of the images is complemented by superior body design. Slim and compact, they fit comfortably in the hand to promote natural, yet steady shooting, while the lens retracts when not in use to make both cameras even more compact for carrying. What’s more, they are also available in a range of attractive colours.
Note: Available colours may differ by country or area.

LaptopMag has a review of the Nikon Coolpix L11 and writes, "On our tests, the Coolpix L11 performed admirably in both indoor and outdoor shots. Colors looked accurate, and the focus was sharp. There was a bit too much magenta in our tulip test photo, which actually made the flowers appear orange. Although the Coolpix L11 starts up in less than two seconds, it takes a tedious five to six seconds between shots."

Imaging Resource has a review of the Nikon Coolpix L11 and writes, "They're as simple as it gets -- with a little in-camera magic to help you handle the hard stuff. I'd make this a Dave's Pick along with the L10 and L12, but I think that either of those models offers a slightly better value proposition (taking nothing away from the L11's abilities). Looking at the bottom line, the L11 seems a bit too much in-between the other two models. While it does give you ImageLink printing over the L10, I'm not sure that's worth the ~30% higher street price relative to the L10. On the other side of the coin, the L12 offers the (big) benefit of an image-stabilized lens for only $20 more. To my mind, that leaves the Nikon Coolpix L11 in an awkward position, I think most consumers will either spring the extra $20 for the L12 or decide to save $30 and go with the L10. All three are nice little cameras though, proof that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get decent digital photos."

CNET has a review of the Nikon Coolpix L11 and writes, "With relatively quick performance and surprisingly nice photos, the Nikon Coolpix L11 makes a fine choice for anyone looking for a simple, inexpensive camera. Its few manual settings will disappoint more advanced photographers, but users who want a basic, affordable point-and-shoot will probably enjoy the L11. If manual controls are extremely important to you, consider the Samsung S850. It's more expensive than the budget-priced L11, but it's still one of the most affordable cameras available with manual exposure controls."

Trusted Reviews has posted their review of the Nikon Coolpix L11 and writes - 'In light of its superior picture quality and higher resolution, and the fact that it is available for about the same price, the Nikon Coolpix L11 is significantly better value for money than the L10. In fact I have seldom seen such excellent value. If you're looking for a nice simple compact, maybe as a holiday camera or as a gift for a child, it is got to be at the top of your shortlist.'
