TOO SLOW! 
2008-10-05
do not buy this camera! this is my first Nikon, and will most definitely be my LAST. it takes about 10 seconds to even take the damn picture!! that may not seem like much, but when youre at a convention trying to take pictures of people walking, or even just celebs sitting down and slightly moving...you get a ruined, blurry picture. this camera is perfect if you are taking pictures of a rock. but anything that moves, worthless. i couldnt even take pictures of my 2 year old niece because she moves too much and the picture takes forever to save. flash is worthless.
Better Price and Product Than Competitors 
2008-09-24
I have not run into the same problems with this camera as I have with other brands. Although the color in the pictures is a bit dull, it still focuses extremely well, including in underlit areas. The image is constantly adjusting to get the best shot possible, so that's a plus.
The coolest feature so far is the Panoramic Assist. Using this feature, you take your first photo, then move the image to the right and you can see a ghost of the previous image showing up to the left, helping you determine where to line up your next shot. It's pretty neat.
There are multiple modes on this camera along with Panoramic Assist, such as Face-priority AF, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, Party/indoor, Beach/snow, Sunset, Dusk/dawn, Night landscape, Close up (Macro), Museum and Fireworks show.
The zoom isn't spectacular, only a 3x, equivalent to 18.6mm. The digital zoom is a joke, as it is with all digital cameras. Please don't use this feature on *any* camera!
Deleting images is a snap! Take a picture, don't like it? You don't need to go into the preview mode. Simply click on the trash can button twice and scroll down to Yes and you're done. Need to go back to shoot? Hold the shutter button down halfway and you're back to where you were before.
The Nikon L11 also allows for video and, in my opinion, does a pretty good job of it. You have the option of 160, 320 or 640. Definitely nothing to produce a movie with, LOL.
In preview mode, if you use the zoom in button, it will zoom into the photo you are previewing (obviously), however, if you click on Menu, your photo will be cropped to that size that you are currently viewing. A pretty neat feature. Up, down, left and right can be used interchangably, as down and right are the same (going up in numbers), left and up go down in numbers.
The maximum off time is 30 minutes, which makes it ideal for uploading photos from your Eye-Fi. You can also turn sleep mode off. I have never had any issues with this camera uploading with the Eye-Fi.
I wouldn't highly recommend this little one, but it's recommended, nonetheless. I will say that this camera is much better than some competitors that are price $100-$200 more.
Nikon Review

The item was in a great condition, just as promised. Arrived at the stated date.
"Broken" LCD 2008-08-12
I decided to buy this camera for my daughter because of the reasonable price. I thought that we would be luckier than the people who ran into the "Lens error", shutter malfunction, Broken LCD... problems, but it turns out that this camera is very fragile and I made a terrible decision (for buying it and also for buying the extended warranty).
I bought it new in Feb this year. In May, the shutter did not function (close half way, and did not open). I sent it to Nikon and they repair it free of charge. But then, last month, the LCD viewscreen "broke" even though there is no crack, no apparent physical damage, no dropping. Nikon charges $56 for repair, plus a stiff S&H $12.50, plus tax, bringing the total to $71.86... almost the price of the new camera!
I called Nikon and they said "Our evaluation determined the screen is damaged from excessive pressure causing it to bleed. ... this damage is not the fault of the product or of manufacturing and is not covered by warranty".
Well, expensive lesson! I was warned by the many negative comments, but I did not listen! :-((
Very disappointed in Nikon this time!
Spend a little more on a Canon 
2008-07-01
Bought this for around $80 on amazon, new. It is just that, an $80 camera. Has a hard time focusing and blurs a lot. I get an error message saying picture is blurry even when it is not. Small, compact, yes. Worth $80, maybe. Frustrating...

Image Stability Issues 2008-05-27
Nice form factor, low price, but the painfully long latency from shutter click to actual snap of the photo means that most of my photos are blurry. I have had a series of Canon's that have just as many features and not this latency issue. After getting back home and seeing most of my trip photos blurry (imperceptible on the LCD viewer, but painfully obvious on the desktop monitor), I put this thing on the shelf and went shopping for another. In the scheme of things, I would rather pay $50 more and know my photos will be usable.
I am extremely disappointed in this product. I expect more from Nikon.
point and shoot 2008-05-20
After a lot of research(many amazon opinions too!) I made my choice on a low-end point and shoot camera. I didnt want to get carried away for a disposable camera. Now that might be harsh, but I really planned on using this camera to its breaking point! After piles of batteries( finally, I got some Sony quick recharge ) batteries for this gem.
I found out that a newer version of this camera has a inferior processor in comparison to the older one, so I searched and found a older(by 6 months!) model and bought it. It has 1 megapixel less, but this is made up with the superior processor. This point and shoot camera is a great buy in all departments. I got a black one. The only 2 things you could offer as a complaint is it's a little tough on batteries, and it's low light shooting. But hey, I like the whole battery thing. If they die, you swap them out, no waiting around to recharge.I know, have a extra in any situation(on board or not). $85.00 &$22.00 for a snug-it. What a combo.I don't know if anybody has noticed SD cards for less than$3.00!!
The beauty of this get-up is that it's with me 24/7. Think I miss anything?
Good Value for Money 
2008-05-20
It is a good camera for the money I spent on it. Simple, easy to use, small size.
Good in Light, Bad in dark 2008-05-08
This camera takes WONDERFUL pictures in the daytime or in lighted areas. But this camera is NOT good in dark areas such as dances, proms, and nighttime pictures. I myself like to take pictures in areas that are sometimes not well lite such as school dances. But the camera makes the pictures appear blurry and fuzzy. Two features I do like about this camera are the D-lighting and the cropping feature. The D-lighting feature allows you to lighten up dark pictures and the crop feature allows you to zoom in and crop pictures. Both of these features can be done right there on the camera immediately after you take the picture.
So if you are only going to use this camera in the day or well lite areas this is the camera for you, especially if you are on a budget. But if you often take pictures in dark areas I recommend that you don't get this camera.
