The Nikon COOLPIX L20 is a 10 Megapixel compact with a 3.6x optical zoom and a 3in LCD screen. It’s aimed at point-and-shoot photographers and priced at the budget end of the compact market - indeed it’s one of the cheapest big-brand cameras you can buy.Announced in February 2009 alongside the 8Megapixel L19, it’s a no-frills camera that willappeal to anyone who finds the advanced features of modern compacts just get in the way. The L20 gives away very little in terms of control, so if you like to have choices over things like metering, auto focussing, and ISO, this isn’t the camera for you. If, on the other hand, you want to be able to take pictures without having to worry about any of those things, or even knowing what they are, the L20 could be the compact you’ve been waiting for.
