I bought this camera after several years with a Sony which gave me fantastic photos that people would rave about. The Sony lens eventually got stuck and so I bought the Nikon. Outdoor photos in auto mode come out great. Then I took the camera to a baby shower indoors and disaster resulted. All photos were not usable. I thought maybe I had placed the camera in the wrong mode and so I opened the menu and selected Party/Indoor mode. Same problem. Photos come out in a yellow tinge and if anyone moves at all. the camera blurs the face. Unless the subject is completely still, all photos are terrible. So I read the manual from begining to end because I figured I must have missed something. But no. In auto mode the camera displays a NO FLASH icon, so that means no flash is possible in auto mode which means you are screwed indoors or in shaded areas. Placing the camera in indoor mode improves the situation but only if no one moves. This makes this camera useless in my opinion. What is the point of all the other functions when you can rally only take outdoor photos? By the way, no viewfinder is BAD. On a sunny day, you have no idea what you are taking photos of.
So in summary, outdoors you get great photos but they will be a surprise because you cannot see the image in sunlight on the screen. And Indoors you get to see exactly what you have taken a photo of because you will be deleting photo after photo.
Nikon messed up something seriously critical in the design of this.
I will need to buy a Canon.
This was a seriously bad choice and a waste of money.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix L5 7.2MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom.
