Nikon COOLPIX L20 review: sample images gallery

Nikon COOLPIX L20 Gallery

The following images were taken with a Nikon COOLPIX L20. The L20 was set to 10M quality and its Auto mode. The L20 is a fully automatic camera, and there are no options to manually set things like the ISO sensitivity. As such, we had no control over what sensitivities were used for the shots below, but there's still a good spread for evaluation.

All of the images below are available to download in larger or their original formats for analysis. Click on the desired image to access the files at Flickr.
