Downloading to your desktop or notebook computer is simple. Just plug in the USB cord that comes with the camera to a USB port on your computer and you’re all set. All you have to do is name the file you’re going to be saving your pictures to.
The camera takes really good pictures inside and even better ones outside. It comes with a flash, but often doesn’t need the it because of the CoolPix's low-light capabilities. It seems to work really well in low-light situations. One drawback, though, is the long time it takes for a flash to process. That has been a little disconcerting, but I don’t generally take action pictures so its less important in what I’m using it for.
The 4x digital zoom optical lens works great. When you switch the camera on, the lens spins out automatically. The auto-focus feature works great as well. I also like the fact that this camera runs on AA batteries that I can pick up anywhere instead of some special hybrid batteries that I have to find a photography or specialty store when I need to replace them.
It has fifteen scene modes, a Best Shot Selector that automatically picks the best shot of a series of ten that you’re taking, voice recording capability, video recording capability, macro shooting from as close as six inches, and image stabilization.
A professional photographer might want more out of a camera than this one provides, but the Nikon CoolPix L12 really fits the bill for someone who’s on the go and just wants to take occasional shots to remember an event or post on a blog.
