Nikon's Coolpix L19 is an entry level camera designed to give you standard digital camera abilities at an affordable cost. The camera has an average 8-megapixel resolution, a 3.6x optical zoom, and a 2.7-inch LCD viewing screen. While Nikon has equipped the L19 with functions you will find on most digital cameras, such as motion detection to reduce blue and an auto mode that selects the scene and settings for you, there is also what Nikon calls the smart portrait system, a combination of automatic functions including in-camera red-eye adjustment, face priority autofocusing, a smile mode that releases the shutter when the camera detects a smile, and a blink warning function that tells you when the subject is blinking. The L19 is compatible with SD/SDHC memory cards. You might also like the entry level L20, which ups the megapixels and adds a larger LCD screen.
