Nikon’s L series of cameras are an entry-level range but the latest L20 model seems to have got a major facelift. The details of the design are similar to the L18 and L19 but the slick and glossy paintjob has done wonders. The rest of the camera should’ve received a similar upgrade. The directional buttons and especially the zoom controls have a bad feel to them. The back of the camera has a slight depression to rest your finger right below the lens operation button. Controls on the camera are really basic with absolutely no control over the aperture size and shutter speed. The interface and mode selection is almost identical to the S220 model.
