Another review is out by Imaging Resource on the Nikon Coolpix L2 where they write, 'The Nikon Coolpix L2's performance ranges from good to just a little slow, depending on what you're trying to do. Startup time is a little sluggish at 2.4 seconds, but shutter lag is very good at wide angle and telephoto. "Prefocusing" the camera by half-pressing and holding down the shutter button before the final exposure also results in a very good time, at 0.040 second. Shot to shot cycle times are another slight slow-down, at about 2.39 seconds for large/fine JPEGs, though it can capture 20 shots or more this quickly. Continuous-mode speed is also on the slower side of average, at about 1.57 frames/second, for up to six shots in succession. The Nikon L2's flash takes about nine seconds to recharge after a full-power shot, much slower than average. Download speeds are also on the slower side. Bottom line, the Nikon L2 isn't the best choice for capturing fast paced action, but it should handle average consumer shooting needs fairly well.'
