Nikon COOLPIX L24 Pro Reviews

For easy automatic snapshots of still subjects in good lighting, the Nikon Coolpix L24 is sufficient. If you need more than that, don't bother.

The Nikon COOLPIX L24 has plenty to offer anyone looking for an AA powered compact that's simple to operate and has sufficient image resolution to produce prints larger than A3 size. It also has a big, bright 3 inch LCD screen which is unusual on compact in this price bracket. But if you already own a COOLPIX L22 from 2010, or even the earlier COOLPIX L20 from 2009 you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. Both those models had 3inch LCD panels (which shows how far ahead of the competition Nikon was back then), and the lens was the same Nikkor 3.6x optical zoom. In fact the only significant difference between the COOLPIX L24 and the L22 that preceded it is the sensor resolution. If you want to make big prints from your photos this is great news, but at full size the COOLPIX L24's quality issues are going to be all too evident.
