Earlier we looked at the Nikon L14. Now we take a gander at it’s big brother.
Nikon Coolpix L15
The L15 is more or less identical to the L14, substituting an 8.0 megapixel sensor and adding optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation at the sacrifice of the superlong battery life.
Offering a 35-105mm zoom range and a slightly larger 2.8″ 230,000 pixel LCD, the camera also retails for £129.99
