Nikon Coolpix L340 20.2 MP Digital Camera with 28x Optical Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black)

• Even more thoughts (as of July 13, 2016):I now feel that the problems I have been experiencing the camera had to do with my ineptitude, and that the camera is an excellent product. It takes great outdoor photos.I found the user guide difficult to understand. But, if you call the Nikon tech support 800 number, they will patiently walk you through the steps you need to follow to configure the camera properly.With their help, I am finally finding I can get the camera to work. I am taking great outdoor photos. And, I seem to be doing a lot better with indoor photos. (I live in the city in an apartment with no natural lighting.)The camera is a good product at a good price. The photos I am now taking are super: sharp and stunning. I am glad I did not give up on this product.More thoughts (updated of July 9, 2016):I keep changing my mind about this camera.People have told me: just use you iPhone It takes great photos, probably better ones anyway.Well, I have been using the Coolpix camera again some lately. I find that it takes great outdoor photos in the daytime, actually better than my iPhone does. The Coolpix photos fill up the fame and just plain look better – stunning. The contrast (or whatever you call it) is just right.Where I seem to experiencing trouble taking photos with the Coolpix is indoors. It is undoubtedly a problem of lighting -- I am often getting blurry photos.But outdoors the camera takes great photos.So it seems to be a very good camera. My problem with it seem to be that:--- I am not proficient in photography;-- the instructions seem awfully complicated; the user manual is not much help*******************************************************My latest thoughts (update of July 3, 2016):I am behind the curve insofar as concerns photography expertise. I\'ve had some trouble using this camera. I\'m not sure if the problem is my ineptitude or the camera.I continue to have trouble adjusting settings and figuring out which button or setting to use, plus finding the buttons for settings on the camera.The tech support people at Nikon (they have an 800 number) are eager to assist. But, I still seem to be having trouble figuring out what\'s what and following directions. I have had the camera for several months now.For me, the settings and/or adjustments that you need to make before taking photos seem awfully complicated. Perhaps all digital cameras are that way nowadays.Sometimes, I get lucky and the camera takes great pictures. I just can\'t seem to master it.From my earlier review (plus an update to that earlier review; see below):A few tips:-- The user manual that comes with the camera is very brief and doesn’t seem to cover everything. I downloaded the user manual online as a PDF file. It took just a minute to do so. The downloaded user manual is very thorough and clear.-- The tech support that the company provides is excellent. I accessed them by phone. Hardly no wait time. They are patient and helpful.It is easy to take videos; it makes decent ones with just one touch of a button.addendum to my first review:I am adding something to what I wrote above about a month ago. I am not sure about this camera. I am having trouble with photos often being out of focus. I can’t seem to quite correct this. Some (many) but not all of the photos are out of focus.I have called Nikon tech support. The problem seemed to be resolved at first when I followed their instructions, but the problem of out of focus shots returned and persisted. I don\'t know if it is because of my lack of expertise and/or ineptitude or the camera itself.I am not sure about this product. I just purchased an iPhone and it seems to take better photos. (But, the iPhone doesn’t have a zoom like this one does.)Additional follow up: it seems that the problems with this camera with respect to blurry, out of focus photos may be due, mainly, to poor lighting where I have been taking my photos; also, possibly, my unsteady hand.
• I certainly had high hopes given the brand name of this camera. However, if I had taken the time to check out prices on ebay, I might have had a better idea of its worth (like a fourth of what I paid on here.) The reason I got this was because I\'d recently gotten into birding, and I really needed a good camera. I had been using my phone with a scope attached, mounted on a tripod, but maneuvering isn\'t always the easiest, and photos come out a bit pixelated. Well, I have found it\'s not much different with this camera. The zoom I get on my phone\'s scope is actually better than the Nikon\'s. I can only zoom so much and it won\'t even focus at a certain point, and it really doesn\'t take much to reach that point. I have gone back to the listing to try to find photos of the back of the camera, you know, the side you\'d be looking at and use the most with all of the buttons, but I can\'t find them. For those wondering, there\'s no viewfinder. If you\'re getting a little up in age and almost in need of the dreaded bifocals, this will be a little bit of a challenge for you. I have to hold the camera at quite a distance from my face to find what I\'m looking for on the screen. Zoom out, and it\'s a miracle if you can find anything worth photographing. This is not helpful to me, as I need to be a little covert around the birds and not all sprawled out with the camera. Two other complaints I\'d have is the amount of time the camera takes to reset after taking a photo. Seriously, I just want to try a snap as many photos of a bird as possible, and then weed out the one that turned out okay. I have missed so many birds because the camera takes several seconds before it\'s ready to snap another photo. Maybe there\'s a setting that needs changing? I don\'t know. The manual doesn\'t cover that. The last issue I have is being able to focus on slim subjects. I was trying to take a photo of a butterfly on a flower, but the camera refused to focus on the butterfly or the plant it was on, and only focused on the background. On my previous camera, a Kodak, I could slightly depress the button to focus, and it would give you options to focus closely or far away. This is not what I\'m finding with this camera, even after playing with all of the settings. I am sad that I spent so much money on such a thing. It was supposed to be a special treat as I prefer to spend money on my hubby or kids, and the one thing I finally buy myself sucks.
