Product Reviews

Excellent price quality relation

I tested the Nikon Coolpix L340, this is an excellent 20 mega pixel camera, with a very good 28x Zoom, and really very little color distortion around the edges, focus speed fairly quickly although the macro focus can sometimes be over 5 seconds, Its very user friendly compared to the previous and cheaper L330 http://amzn.to/20IqO79PRO:The lens has an OISThe sensor takes great low light photos and videosThe autofocus speed (but macro autofocus is slow)The ISO 80 to 400 produces very usable photosUses standard SD memory cards, I recommend a Class 10 from transcend http://amzn.to/1GU60mSCONS:28x optical zoom produces moderate levels of chromatic aberration around the edges (when at 28x).HD 1280x720 (720p) resolution, 1080p expected when most current smatphones are able to.Very basic controls, (but might be just enough for most)Above ISO 400 the noise increased in the images, they look sharper but with noticeably noise.This camera uses 4 AA batteries, I particularly use the second gen Eneloop batteries from Panasonic, Out of a full charge I can get over 300 shots, the third gen is out I’m sure you might get more pictures out of them http://amzn.to/1M3TJLlYou cant go wrong with this camera, for the price you get a 20MP camera, 28X zoom and the convenience of using standard batteries and memories

I’m happy with it.

I bought this camera from my local store. I was not expected too much because price is cheap. Here are some of my pictures I took with this camera. I’m happy with it.

Great camera for anybody that wants to start photography

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been wanting to try photography. As usual, I spent around 2 weeks trying to decide which camera I should buy. This camera came up with a great resolution and low price. Absolutely love it, because it is so simply, and it gives you the feel of a dslr because of the size and shape.The pros in this product were:-Low Price-Great resolution (20.2 megapixels)- Compact enough to travel around with it-A magnificent zoom (28x)- The many pre-established scenarios were they adjust the ISO and the white balance.The only con I could come up was that you can’t manually adjust the shutter speed of the camera, only the ISO and White balance, but I still believe it is a bang for your buck. Would recommend it to anybody who wants to start photography and doesn’t want to spend $300+ on a DSLR.I added a picture I took when I went to a beach some time ago.

Awesome Photos!!

Love Love Love!! I like taking pics of nature so this was perfect. The zoom is awesome and the quality is amazing! For $138 it takes better pics than my $300 Cannon… Some of my pics are below to give you an idea.

Probably My Last Camera

OK, I’m a cranky old man and it took me days to decide on this camera. I searched and read gobs of stuff and pushed the button on this one.Now, this camera comes with an instruction manual or there is one online for free. USB cord and batteries.The manual has all this complicated mumbo-jumbo but I relied on FULL AUTO for my shooting. I set it on auto and went to work taking pics of stuff I needed to document. YOU NEED TO READ THE MANUAL regarding zoom usage and how to let it focus before completely depressing the fire button. I don’t see any reason for me to mess with the other controls but I can if I wanna play around. I don’t so that takes care of that.The pictures are clear, natural and I couldn’t ask for an easier camera to use that takes decent pics.I use the 32 Gig card and the camera comes with a USB cable but it is way too short. Get a 5ft cable from Amazon.It takes 4-AA batteries and I’m not going to get caught-up in proprietary scams. Also, it comes with 4 Chinese Duracells that are working now but I have extras handy with no Chinese lingo.The thing looks like it’s made good and will suit me just fine for what simple pics I need. The zoom is super and is clear if you let it focus.When the light turns green fire.I’m only gonna tell you 2 more times. Take about 30 minutes and read the manual and familiarize yourself with the camera controls and how to take great shots. If you have to monkey-around with the controls for each shot you aren’t taking advantage of the auto stuff.It’s made in China and probably won’t last long but the price seems fair compared to all the others I examined. I have not made videos so I can’t speak to that.Read the manual and you’ll be on your way to simple picture taking. I plug the camera into my computer and the pics are sucked-off onto Windows 10 software and usually defaults to Paint. I can modify the pics if I like. I did not download the Nikon software since there are complaints about removing the stuff if you want to. Hard to uninstall.It’s as cheap as I could go and get a cool looking camera that will do the job for me with a minimal learning curve.Sure, you’ll need to play around a little but not much. I got right onto the zoom and basic auto settings.READ THE MANUAL!

So far, so great!

I ordered this at Target online on Black Friday with free shipping and I am happy to say that I love it. I’ve only had it a couple of days, but I’ve been taking numerous types of pictures to try it out and I love it. I have searched and searched and searched for a camera that takes good pictures up close AND far away, for a decent price. I’ve went through many that were under $100 and they were crap. I paid right at $100 for this camera (before tax and warranty) and I think that is a steal for the quality of pictures that it takes. It’s no professional camera, but when you go from an iPhone camera to this, it feels like you are a professional! I am 100% satisfied with the camera, the quality of pictures it takes, and how quickly the camera actually takes the pictures (there is no lag). Those were my main three concerns when purchasing this camera and I am very happy with my purchase.
