Digital Compact Camera Nikon COOLPIX L11/L10
February 20, 2007
Easy shooting with smooth operation, enabling anyone to get great results, more of the time.
TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX L11 and the COOLPIX L10. With the COOLPIX L11 packing 6.0 effective megapixels and the L10 packing 5.0 effective megapixels, and both cameras offering easy operation, they enable even absolute beginners to take great-looking pictures.
Each featuring a powerful 3x Nikkor-Zoom lens with a focal range of 37.5-112.5mm (35mm equivalent), the COOLPIX L11 and L10 make it easy for users to capture special moments with friends and family, anytime. And because they offer the aforementioned image resolution of 6.0 and 5.0 effective megapixels respectively, the COOLPIX L11 and L10 are great for capturing fine detail with sharpness that remains even when images are significantly enlarged.
What's more, both cameras offer high light sensitivity up to ISO 800, which makes it easier to produce quality shots in low light conditions without using a slower exposure. Such sensitivity also makes it possible to use much faster shutter speeds in ordinary lighting conditions to capture fast-moving subjects with greater sharpness.
Both cameras additionally feature large LCD monitors that make for easy image composition and handy playback anywhere. The LCD of the COOLPIX L11 measures an impressive 2.4-inches across while that of the L10 measures 2.0-inches across – ample dimensions that make it easy for everyone to gather round and enjoy the results.
Adding a further element of convenience, both the COOLPIX L11 and L10 are compatible with AA-size batteries. Such batteries are, of course, widely available around the world, which means users never have to worry about running out of power, no matter where they happen to be. What's more, the COOLPIX L11 and L10 both feature three unique Nikon innovations that enable anyone to improve their images in-camera – Face-priority AF* that automatically detects and achieves sharp focus on people's faces wherever they are in the frame, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix that can automatically overcome the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash, and Nikon's D-Lighting that can rescue underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight.
Furthermore, like all other cameras in the popular Nikon COOLPIX range, both the COOLPIX L11 and L10 come bundled with Nikon's exclusive PictureProject software. Powerful, yet exceptionally easy to use, PictureProject makes it a snap to transfer, organize, edit and share photos with family and friends.

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 design exuding high quality
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 colors.
