Digital camera reviews of Nikon Coolpix L18 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Ruby Red)
Digital camera Review: Very Fragile NIKON would not honor warranty
Summary: 2 Stars
This seemed to be a good camera with good resolution. The Image stabilization is a nice feature. I have owned 3 previous Nikon Digital Cameras. The first two were first and second generation Digital Cameras. Both had sturdy build and produced good quality images. Then we received the Nikon Coolpix L6 as a gift. This camera produced good quality images and nice features on Camera. We had this camera for about year when my daughter dropped the camera from about 2 feet and the LCD broke. At that time we purchased the Coolpix L18. This time the camera was never dropped and the lens gave us a lens error after 2 months of use we sent this into Nikon to fix this as well as get an estimate on fixing the L6. Well they came back and said that the L18 had been impacted. I explained to them that this camera was never dropped and said that it may have been in the case and impacted against the body or something. Well that is a very poor excuse for not covering a 2 month old item under warranty. If carrying the item around could cause the item to become non operational and stop working, then Nikon needs to increase the build quality of their compact digital camers. Well the estimate to fix was over $100 and you can buy the camera new for just slightly more than that. So due to fragile nature of this camera I would not recommend and since Nikon refuses to Honor their warranty I do not think that I will buy another Nikon Camera. I have been looking to upgrade to a DLSR but still want a small camera for easy carry capability. Well I used to trust Nikon quality but not anymore.
