Although it's the new flagship digital camera in Nikon's L-series, the Nikon Coolpix L5 borrows the look, feel, and some of the features of Nikon's advanced P-series ("L" stands for "Life" and "P" stands for "Performance"). The Coolpix L5 includes a 7.2-megapxiel CCD sensor and a Nikkor-branded 5x optical zoom (38-190mm in 35mm format) and the company's lens-shift VR (Vibration Reduction) technology, making for one heck of a sophisticated camera for entry-level users. Throw in the host of other features that Nikon crams into Coolpix L5's understated, stylish, and relatively compact body -- including D-Lighting exposure correction technology, a face-priority AF function, an in-camera red-eye function, and Nikon's Best Shot Selector mode -- and you have a very advanced model that's being offered for as low as $200 at some online retailers.
