PhotographyBLOG review the Nikon Coolpix L5 where they give it a rating of 4 out of 5 and write - 'The Nikon Coolpix L5 compact camera has a very similar feature set to its brother, the L6, which I reviewed at the same time. Of course, the extra zoom range, resolution and the inclusion of VR technology developed for Nikon's DSLR range puts the L5 ahead of its lesser specified brother on first look. That said, the L6 impressed me in terms of its image quality, which may have partly been down to the fact that I wasn't expecting great things. The L6 is better suited to daylight photography, however, with that wobbly hand icon making quite a number of appearances when skies were any less than blue in hue, leading me to conclude that the L5 is indeed the preferred all-round option for a pocket snapshot camera, even if its design is bulkier and more clunky. The ability to access such hand-holding features as Face Priority AF at the touch of a button on the L5 rather than sift through screen menus is a bonus, but in truth otherwise there's not much to choose between the two cameras. Although there are better designed and sleeker compacts out there offering similar specification and performance, the Nikon Coolpix L5 serves the point and shoot amateur market for which it's intended, and is a more than acceptable marriage of price to build to performance.'
