budget conscious, attached to my camera, nature lover
The nikon Coolpix L11 is an great camera for starters and veterans alike. It is very reasonably priced. 7 megapixels is more than enough for most people, with a 3x optical zoom. Shutterspeed is ok, can change from single shot to burst, plenty of different shooting modes. You can also do on screen cropping. One major con is the fact that it uses AA batteries, i would suggest using Lithium or rechargeable batteries. But overall a good camera.
