I got this because I was sick of lugging my DSLR around. The first test for this camera was our trip to Europe this summer. I couldnt be happier with how this little but powerful camera performed. It was also nice to be able to fit it into my purse and not have to worry about getting it in and out of a cumbersome cover or camera bag. Thanks to my DSLR I have some pretty high standards. This was perfect for me.

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/20IqO79 PRO: The lens has an OIS The sensor takes great low light photos and videos The autofocus speed (but macro autofocus is slow) The ISO 80 to 400 produces very usable photos Uses standard SD memory cards, I recommend a Class 10 from transcend http://amzn.to/1GU60mS CONS: 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/1M3TJLl You 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

Since the beginning of this year, Ive 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 cant 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 doesnt want to spend $300+ on a DSLR. I added a picture I took when I went to a beach some time ago.

This is a great camera! I love the zoom capability also, I can see things much further away (and clearer) with this camera than I could with the older Nikon Cool pix Point and Shoot camera that I had for about 2 years before I upgraded to this one. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I can take some really awesome light trail pictures, simply by adjusting the ISO on the camera to either 80 or 100.

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.

Not had this camera very long (just a few weeks), so Ive not shot that many pics...yet. Like the Coolpix predecessor I had (for years), I plan to use this one to take thousands of work photos. Its updated from the previous camera with "black chrome" buttons instead of chrome ones....and all controls seem to be in the same places and within easy reach. The lens is better having wider angle and more telephoto capability. The focus/shoot capability is a little slow to suit my taste, but still ok. Takes a few secs to make things happen. NOT a pint and instantly shoot camera. The flash before was simply manual pull up operation, but this one is a button release pop-up. Same flash location...just an upgrade (in Nikons opinion...LOL). Ive got to get the flash set up though. The old one takes GREAT flash pics in totally dark areas! For some reason...it doesnt seem to flash automatically when in low light situations. (Im sure its a fault on my end, and not the camera. I dont have something set right.) But for the money it should be great like the other Coolpix I had (and actually, still do). Oh....dont forget to buy and install an SD card to store lots of pics. It doesnt come with one, just an internal memory that has low capacity.

This is a very good camera. The resolution and zoom are fantastic. I took about three hundred pictures today and they all came out great. I had the camera set on auto/scenes and it worked faultlessly, I did not correct any shots for lighting or settings, did crop a few but that’s not the cameras fault. Another plus is the memory card. I bought the recommended 32 g card. With the camera set on its highest resolution it will hold over 6300 pictures. Recording is very fast, never had to wait for it to catch up. The vendor delivered the camera a week before Amazon said it would arrive. There was a small strap to hold the lens cap to the neck strap that was not in the box. A quick email to the vendor using the provided email address and the replacement was in the mail the next business day. I highly recommend both the camera and the vendor. One last comment, I have a full size Nikon 35mm digital camera and many lenses for it. The L340 is at least its equal.

Tried out this camera for the first time last night when I went to an outdoor beach boys concert and I was very very surprised with how well it did in such low lighting, and how clear, sharp looking, the pictures turned out. The pictures werent blurry at all. The high definition /high quality of the pictures turned out spectacular. I got this one because I didnt want a DSLR camera..but something close to it. Im so happy with this camera. Im so glad I ordered it. It wont disappoint! I highly recommend this camera.

This camera takes excellent photos, especially those at a far distance. We live on an island where the mainland is 3 miles away; and this camera allows me to take up-close photos of sailboats going by even when theyre over 2 miles away; close enough to read names of the boats sometimes painted on the bow.
