opinion on a camera

[Philly Mike]

here's the story.

My wife just bought a Nikon L18
She has been talking about the damn thing for months.

I was just wondering if this camera is good or if there are any others that are in the same range but better. I know it is a good camera for casual use, I know the nikon name is pretty well regarded.

here is the camera and this is where we got it from. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigat...tem=396416

She would have gotten the camera regardless, but I was just curious about the opinions of the photographers and amateur photography enthusiasts here.
