Description — Nikon Coolpix L21
The Nikon COOLPIX L21 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around an 8MP sensor of the 1/2.3 inch type, processed by Nikon's Expeed C2 engine. It delivers still images at up to 3264x2448 pixels and handles a native ISO range of 64 to 1600. The camera's 2.5 inch LCD serves as the primary interface for framing and playback.
Autofocus relies on a contrast detection system, and image stabilization is provided through Digital Electronic IS. On the video side, recording tops out at 480p. Storage uses SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to computers via USB.
