Printed ad from WalMart for $79.99. Brought it to Sears and they matched it with 10% diff. I shoot with a DSLR with all manual settings but I bought this camera for my wife for simple p&s camera but had to to return it. The indoor shooting capability is TERRIBLE. I wasnt able to shoot at anything above 1/80 no matter what setting I use. Out of 20 shots, I've got maybe 1 good shot that is not blurry. Not worth the agony. Time to look north of $200.00 for p&s...

if you want to use PS camera indoor, DO NOT turn off the flash.

Yes. I have registered..And I did not just register to post my message. I figured I give my 2cents input for anyone looking to purchase this model. Why would that matter to you Red? Besides, I'm giving readers how to save if they are so inclined to getting this camera and isnt that what this site is about?

One Amazon reviewer said to turn the motion sensor off and that fixed the blurry picture for that person.

I've adjusted all the settings. I did find that FujiJ38 was faster when I tested at Best Buy. It usually snapped at 1/125. Also looked at Canon A1100. Blurry pictures as well for indoors. Outdoors it took perfect pictures.

They are not all created equal, my Kodak v1073 takes decent indoor pictures even without flash. Of course it's an exception and was noted for doing so, it's part of why I jumped on the deal a couple of years ago.

Isn't it great? Someone actually decent enough to register to leave good feedback on the item.

My GF likes her Nikon D40 DSLR so she figured this should be a decent camera too. Not so, this camera's pictures are really bad compared to my HP R837 point and shoot not expensive camera. The L20 is just not very good in spite of the Nikon name.

Nikon has always made crappy P&S. But at least they make great DSLRs

Here is the review:
TAKES GETTING USED TO (Jess - 11/6/09)
I have just received this from my brother in US and at first every photo I took was blurry it was really frustrating. However, today I have had a breakthrough!!! I have turned the motion detector OFF, it's crap and makes every photo blurry. Also I have the flash on all the time and my photo's now are as sharp or even sharper than my last camera. I think the camera's got some amazing features but when you take it back to basics is when it works at its best.
If you purchase(d) this camera, check your Amazon account's Media Library for a bonus!
